In May 1991, ''Time'' magazine published a cover story titled "[[The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power]]". In the article, former [[Church of Scientology]] Executive Director William Franks alleged that Travolta was wary of leaving the faith because he feared the Church would publish detailed revelations of his private life, to include homosexual behavior.<ref>{{cite news|last=Behar|first=Richard|title=The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power| url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972865,00.html |work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |accessdate=February 24, 2015|date=May 6, 1991}}</ref> These claims were reiterated by Franks and other Scientology defectors in Lawrence Wright's 2013 book ''[[Going Clear (book)|Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief]]'', and former Church official [[Marty Rathbun]] claimed that he worked with Travolta's attorneys several times to keep allegations about Travolta's homosexuality out of the press and resolve lawsuits against the star.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wright |first=Lawrence |date=2013 |title=Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief |publisher=Vintage Books, A Division of [[Random House]]|isbn=978-0307745309|pages=199, 383}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Yahr|first1=Emily|title=How Scientology controls John Travolta and Tom Cruise, according to 'Going Clear'|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/03/30/how-scientology-controls-john-travolta-and-tom-cruise-according-to-going-clear/|accessdate=November 1, 2017|work=Washington Post|date=March 30, 2015}}</ref>

===Sexual assault allegations===
Several men have accused Travolta of sexual assault. In May 2012, an anonymous masseur filed a lawsuit against Travolta citing claims of sexual assault and battery. A lawyer for Travolta said that the allegations were "complete fiction and fabrication" and someone wanting his [[15 minutes of fame]]. Travolta's counsel also stated that his client would be able to prove that he was not in California on the day in question and asserted that Travolta would "sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution" after getting the case thrown out.<ref>{{cite web|title=John Travolta Sued for Assault and Sexual Battery by Masseur, Actor's Rep Calls Claim a "Baseless Lie"|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/john_travolta_sued_assault_sexual/314284|publisher=E!

A judge ruled to dismiss a defamation lawsuit against Travolta and his attorney Marty Singer by writer Robert Randolph.
