A male masseur who accused John Travolta of sexual battery has withdrawn a lawsuit, his lawyer said, as the star's attorney vowed a similar second legal action would also fail.
The first alleged victim, identified only as John Doe, filed his lawsuit last week, seeking $2 million and alleging that Travolta grabbed his penis after receiving a massage at a Beverly Hills hotel in January.
Travolta's heavyweight lawyer Martin Singer dismissed the claim as "a complete fiction and fabrication,'' saying the Hollywood A-list actor was on the East Coast on the day in question, January 16.
A few days later the same lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, filed another lawsuit including a second alleged victim, identified only as John Doe #2, this time for an alleged assault in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28.
On Tuesday Okorocha said he had withdrawn the first lawsuit. "Let's just say we had differences in opinion of how to handle the case and decided to part ways,'' he told celebrity bible People magazine.
