Extortion

We have to hand it to RadarOnline for revisiting the death of Jett Travolta and pointing out an important overlooked fact. If you recall, Tarino Lightbourne was the ambulance driver in the Bahamas who picked up Jett Travolta’s body after he had a seizure. Lightbourne tried to extort 25 million dollars out of John Travolta so he wouldn’t release a “significant” document Travolta signed during the emergency drama. The extortion got all the publicity and drew attention away from the content of the document. Travolta signed an agreement that relieved the driver and his coworkers of liability if he flew his son off the island instead of to a hospital. In other words, Travolta tried to fly his son’s body off the island and home to Florida WITHOUT the needed government permits. (This was before Jett was officially declared dead.) John and other Scientologists could then control all information about what actually killed Jett. Jett’s death by seizures from autism did not fit into Scientology’s ideology. Travolta wasn’t able to sneak the body back to Florida and cover up. Another embarrassment for the cult. Let’s hope John’s next child doesn’t have any psychological or developmental disorders.
