John Travolta is facing a new sexual-assault lawsuit, said the New York Daily News. Fabian Zanzi, a Chilean national who worked for Royal Caribbean cruise lines, has filed a suit in federal court seeking unspecified damages against the Pulp Fiction star. In court documents, Zanzi alleges that Travolta, 58, dropped his robe while on a cruise in 2009 and pressed “his naked person and erect penis” against the unsuspecting Zanzi. “This is another ludicrous lawsuit with inane claims,” said Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer.
