There’s a lot of things we can take. Flail your beard/wife around while there’s pictures of you making out with your live-in lover on the runway. Fine. Make “Battlefield Earth”. Ok. Compare yourself to Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. Eh, whatever. But deny your child proper diagnosis and medical treatment because you’re in a silly space alien cult? You suck. You’ve just ruined “Saturday Night Fever” for me for all eternity. Hell you’ve ruined “Staying Alive” for me for all eternity. And that’s a hot flick. Hollywood Interrupted and What Would Tyler Durden Do? are both reporting that a neighbor of Travolta’s is claiming that his son Jett, 14, is undiagnosed as autistic due to Scientology not recognizing autism as existing. Brilliant. These neigbors, Florida restauranters named Tim and Patricia Kelly, are clamoring for Child Protective Services to get involved.
The Travolta’s instead say he suffers from Kawasaki syndrome, an illness characterized by high fever, painful rash, lymph-node swelling and street legal rice-rockets. Four years ago, Kelly got out her hounds-tooth coat and pipe and giant magnifying glass and used her sleuthiness to determine that the cause was environmental toxins. Specifically, carpet cleaning chemicals. Then Kelly used a Scientology endorsed program created by L. Ron Hubbard to cure him. And it worked! No, wait, did I say, “it worked”? I meant to say, “it failed completely!”
The real problem of course isn’t carpet based treachery, it’s that Jett has autism, and no amount of meadow-scented deception is behind it. He’s never been officially diagnosed of course, since the “church” won’t allow it, but outsiders who know the affliction well say the signs are clearly evident.
Heh. Gruesome story but he’s funny. Keep reading for how Jett spends his days and for how Kelly Preston handles his ass in public.
Joking aside, the Kennys are “disgusted by” Travolta. They claim that Travolta has turned down invitations to participate in autism fundraisers, and most recently refused to participate in a local celebrity golf tournament if a connection to autism advocacy was promoted. The organizers of the charity tournament scheduled at the Golden Hills Country Club in November are alleged to have changed the billing from an autism event to the more generic “fundraiser for disabled children” to accommodate the star. Calls to event organizer, the Family Resources Coalition, were not returned by post time.
The Kennys also claim that Kelly and John “let Jett sit in front of video games all day eating junk food, while they eat the best organic food money can buy. They exclude Jett from all social events because they are embarrassed.”
“Once,” reports Kenny, “when Kelly took him to the movies, Jett started to have a meltdown and Kelly pointed at the nanny and ordered, ‘Take care of it.’”
“Jett does not speak at all,” confirms Kenny. “He has not even been taught how to communicate. We struggle every week to pay for our daughter’s therapy. How dare he [Travolta] ruin his own son’s chances of recovering! We want to get the word out on this.”
Well, now you have. I SINCERELY hope this story isn’t true. Because otherwise he and his perky yet chilling wife/beard are big harmful fake dangerous people. They allow this mind-controlled jerk to fly jets on his own while he’s abusing his kid at home because Xenu says so? What if Xenu tells their asses to fly a jet into someone’s crib? This is like when people have sick kids and instead of getting their ass to a hospital – they pray over it. Because in those kind of situations, if there’s a Jesus or an Allah or a Xenu or even a Glaucon, the snake god – he’s giving you the side-eye and saying “are you f*cking kidding me?”
I heard this a year or so ago from a friend who was a celebrity assistant (the celeb was involved in autism fundraisers and I guess it’s well known in the autism community). Pretty horrible.
That explains why you only see photos of them with their daughter.
Exactly, when is the last time the public has seen a picture of him? Not for quite sometime.
I don’t understand how people can take seriously a cult created by a science fiction author who made a bet he could invent a religion that poor saps like Big Head here would actually buy into. What a load of crap. And if one more damn Scientologist tells me I need to be saved from my prescription for anxiety attacks on airplanes, I’ll scream. Bunch of freaks.
This is disturbing! Scientology calls people with autism “degraded people” saying that they brought it upon themselves. That is why Travolta does not have his son diagnosed or treated. I have a son with autism and they have ruined this childs chance to possibly lead a functional life. With proper early intervention, he may have been able to speak. Now we will never know. I have seen pictures of Jett and the boy is huge and almost as tall as his mom. What will happen when he is unable to be controlled? AND WHY DONT WE SEE PICTURES OF KELLYS “FIRST CHILD!! she had another child before Travolta why dont we see pictures!!
Xenu is the “devil” guy in their “religion”… L. Ron Hubbard is the “Jesus” guy.
Okay, so I agree that Scientologists are crazy. Totally nuts. But . . . who are these “experts” who are diagnosing this boy? Do they have any medical credentials? I think it’s disgusting to spread rumors about a young boy based on their own issues. If these people are really concerned about the child, they should contact CPS—not the gossip pages—and let a credentialed doctor decide whether the boy is autistic. It sounds like they are more interested in shaming the Travoltas into giving money to a particular cause than in really getting help for the child.
Why would someone who can afford to be John Travolta’s neighbor be struggling to pay for autism therapy? While this kind of behavior by the Scientologists wouldn’t surprise me, something about this neighbor guy is suspicious.
I hope that this is not true, but nothing would surprise me nowadays. Celebrities are not like normal people. They are so self obsessed that it is almost impossible to put their focus on their children, instead of themselves. Of course, I’m generalizing here, but take a look out there. How many celebrity parents actually raise their kids, without the help of a team of nannies or use the kids to promote their career by parading them on the cover of People, etc?
You know, it’s too bad that Kelly and John are Scientologists. John could really promote (exploit) Jett’s autism for the upcoming release of Hairspray.
I was a huge fan of John’s but he has completely
distroyed that. I was still a fan when he
made that dumb ass movie about two face but now I am
just embarrassed about being a fan. Same with Tom
Cruise, he was so cool in the early years now he is
just a joke. What will I do now, my hero’s are idiots, no more cool guys, they all look like women.
Tom Sizemore is looking better and better!
i feel the same way. i refused to wacth Tom cruise movies for years but hearing what Travolta is doing to his son, i wont watch any movies knowing a scientologist is in it. they call my son with autism a “degraded being” and it makes me sick inside .
Scientology is quite a religion. Not unlike all organized religions you can be brainwashed into thinking what is…isn’t. Hmm Is George Bush a Scientologist? If this is true about Travolta’s son I believe the child has rights and for him to be denied help by his parents is unforgivable.
The boy might or might not be autistic, but some things are difficult to believe here. How do these people know the boy is autistic if he never leaves the house? How do they know he sits in front of the video games all day and eats junk food? How do they know what happened at the movies? And most of all… Thay struggle to pay for their daughter’s therapy while they’re Travolta’s neighbours? One would think that in that “hood” people don’t have moeny problems.
this is the procedure that scientologists approve for dealing with enemys.
«R2-45 – an enormously effective process for exteriorization, but its use is frowned upon by this society at this time.» — L. Ron Hubbard,

«In plain language, it means that someone can be released from their body by shooting them with a Colt ’45, which Ron proceeded to demonstrate by firing a revolver into the floor of the podium.» — Steward Lamont, Religion, Inc., 1986
sounds like Nazi tacticts to me.
Who ever was not with Hitler or considered not pure or undesirable were killed. History has a way of repeating itself.
I would think that if you are such a believer in your “religion” you would do what you can to protect it. The first thing I would do is shut Tom Cruise up. If you want new “recruits” for Scientology, make the person making you look bad sit down somewhere.
Most Scientologist have been pretty quiet until lately. Jenna Elfman, who I like, had to speak about the relationship between Tom and Katie. Leah Remini, who I like, had to comment about recruiting J.Lo (yes, J.Lo. She should have never given herself that name if she didn’t want it to stick).
There are so many that you wouldn’t know are members (Anne Archer, Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Lee, to name a few). I learned a long time ago that if you truly believe in the power of your religion and beliefs, your example is enough to make people seek you out and learn more.
If this is true about John Travolta’s son, I would hope that he would do what’s best for his child and put that child first.
My autistic child is NOT a “degraded being” and ANY “religion” that would label a helpless child suffering form a DISABILITY is disgusting.
And wasn’t the story that the person struggling to pay for therapy was a waiter?
All children with autism cannot be “taught” to talk, but they can learn to interact with PECS system. :-(
How can hours with junk food and video games be good for ANY child?
This whole story is SAD :-(
“I learned a long time ago that if you truly believe in the power of your religion and beliefs, your example is enough to make people seek you out and learn more”. Well said Nick. I feel the same way. In my life, I am always drawn to people who seem to be peaceful and happy. I want to know more. Don’t want someone shoving something down my throat. Set an example and people will be drawn to you. I believe that God expects people to use their brains, if you have a sick child, take them them to a doctor who has God given talents, who has studied for many years. I wonder
if John calls a plubmer when the toilet backs up.
Thank God for plumbers, I wouldn’t want to be one
but sure do appreciate them. Everybody has a purpose. Doctors have a purpose, I would not want to be without one.
Even without a clear diagnosis of Autistic Disorder, those recent pictures of Jett & his parents show a child that has some type of impairment. This is so sad and disturbing that they didn’t seek proper intervention for Jett. I have no desire or interest in spending any of my money to further promote Travolta, his wife, Tom Cruise, or any other actor/actress that regulates their lives with Scientology.
