John Travolta

John Travolta has reportedly been receiving extortion threats. The threats started coming after Travolta’s son Jett died in a tragic seizure. The threats are said to be against his family. Travolta is yet to recover from the traumatic experience. Jett died on January 2 while on a family holiday.

The actor as suggested by many has not yet revealed the plot details. Regarding the threats made to Travolta’s family, Attorney Mike Ossi and Howard Butler(Travolta Family’s attorneys) released a statement saying: “Regrettably, in a time of such terrible grief, there are often a few individuals who attempt to make false claims in hopes of making millions of dollars. We will never let that happen.”

The Tribune, a Bahamas-based newspaper has reported police are questioning two people, one believed to be a politician, in relation to the investigation.

John has asked police to investigate extortion threats made against his family. The police are on alert and full investigation of the case would be carried out.

John and his wife has thanked and issued statements which said that the people of Ocala had provided tremendous support for them. The couple have since issued a letter to the people of Ocala thanking them for their support during an “impossibly painful situation”.

Part of the letter reads: “The enormous amount of love, support and condolence we have received from this community has been most humbling. Comforting words, thoughts and prayers of Ocala’s citizens have made an impossibly painful situation a little less painful.”
