That is about all my parents knew and had a connection with to the story. Well it turns out, Doug later on made a huge claim that he and John Travolta were secret lovers for the six years he was his pilot.
My mom said she saw the headline one day and recognized Doug’s name. The whole scandal was bizarre to my parents as they never caught wind of any affair going on nor did Doug ever hint or say anything. They were close with Doug so either he was great at keeping secrets or the whole thing was a made up fantasy. The scandal got hushed after Doug threatened to release a “Tell all” book about their love but John Travolta took it to court and no book was released. I don’t think my parents have any idea what Doug is up to today but yeah that’s the wild John Travolta and my parents gay pilot friend alleged affair story.Ī kid i went to high school with, his mom worked in the film industry and he told his friends about how everyone on set/crew had to sign NDAs to keep quiet about the handsome men that were always in/out of tom cruises trailor.
