John Travolta And Gay Relationship With Pilot, John Travolta's Six Year Gay Affair With Pilot---John Travolta & His Pilot Had 6-Year Gay Relationship: The John Travolta** sex scandal has exploded with a new report that the actor had a six-year gay affair with his pilot.

Travolta and Doug Gotterba were lovers in the 1980s, according to Travoltas former secretary and Gotterbas ex boyfriend. The article is in the new issue of the National Enquirer, which hits newsstands Friday.

Joan Edwards was Travoltas secretary from 1978 to 1994 and is the first ex-employee to publicly say the actor is gay.

I did everything for him, including taking care of his personal and professional schedules. Of course I knew he was gay. It never bothered me, she is quoted as telling the Enquirer.

She also says she was aware of Travolta’s affair with Gotterba, who began working for the actor in 1981.

“That’s how I met Doug. We both worked for John at the same time. Doug is a wonderful guy and we are still good friends. He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship,” she said.

“After a few years, Doug grew apart from John sexually, and John’s advances eventually started to repulse him,” Britz said. “The relationship ended shortly thereafter.”
