Travolta Family Faces Extortion Scheme

While still dealing with the tragic loss of their son, Jett, John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are now dealing with extortion.

The Travolta extortion scheme revolves around a cell phone picture taken of son Jett as he lay dying in the ambulance.

It is believed that the photo was taken by one of the paramedics entrusted to help save Jett's life. The other person involved in the scheme is a local politician in the Bahamas, where the teen passed away.

How sleazy!

The men are threatening to sell the photo to the highest bidder if Travolta doesn't pay their million dollar ransom.

What an awful thing to have to deal with!

An attorney for the Travolta family said, "Regretably 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."

We hope they get to the bottom of this, and that whoever is responsible for the extortion gets what they deserve!

The Travoltas released a statement on their webpage, stating, “Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives.”
