He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship.' Doug is a wonderful guy and we are still good friends. Of Travolta's alleged affair with Gotterba, who reportedly began working for the actor in 1981, Edwards added, 'We both worked for John at the same time. “I did everything for him, including taking care of his personal and professional schedules,' Edwards is quoted by the Enquirer as saying. RadarOnline cites a National Enquirer interview with Joan Edwards, credited by IMDb as having served as Travolta's assistant on films like 'Urban Cowboy' and 'Look Who's Talking' from 1978 to 1994, who claims that the actor and a male pilot named Doug Gotterba were lovers in the 1980s.
In a move that could add credence to the sexual harassment charges facing John Travolta, the 'Pulp Fiction' star's long-time assistant has come forward with claims the actor is not only gay, but was also in a relationship with another man for six years.
