How horrible!

Apparently 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.

Investigations and negotiations are underway.

What an awful thing to have to deal with!

      If this story is true my last bit of hope for humanity has been shot to hell. If this guy's children were starving of hunger I could remotely understand his atrocious action. As a paramedic however, he should have a half-decent income.

      P.S.: Perez, I think it's high time you weeded through your commenters. There are too many personal vendettas going on. Being Dutch I am not easily shocked. The tumoil around Janet's bare breast is still a mystery to me. But I do take offence in people depicting orifices and bodily functions in scrumptuous detail. If I want to see 2 Girls 1 Cup, I know were to find it.

      The EMT should be fired and punished to the fullest extent for exploitation. That's just disgusting.

      Lol its hilarious when a little bimbo gets into these convos. Take your airhead antics to another story, maybe Cyrus. This is a horrible thing happening to the Travolta's and it is not right. So many stupid sick people in the world. P.s Alyssa I'm not saying your a sick person, just a bimbo

      I'm sorry for repeating my comment. I had to leave my computer for a second, and I thought that it had been erased. Hate it when that happens.



    5. 105

      that is so messed up! As if their family hasn't been through enough… Some people make me sick!



    6. 106

      this is the precise reason for my skepticism and cynical behavior. i want to fight them.



    7. 107

      SCUM! SCUM! SCUM! SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!
      What rotten people! They will pay for what they are dong! Karma!
      SCUM! SCUM! SCUM! SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!SCUM!

      All Media should make a statement never to buy such pics ! And if someone is sck enought to do that and publish it, boycott to the bone !

      My thoughts are with the family, who should only have to be dealing with their grieve and loss, and not with these disgusting creatures, whom I believe could not be described ad human.



    11. 111

      People are EFFING Dumb!!



    12. 112

      This is why we don't leave America



    13. 113

      damn his wife, kelly preston is hot as fuck



    14. 114

      I hope that paramedic gets sacked and slung into jail - what a low life.



    15. 115

      Dude, if they can fukin give aliens space monsters all their fukin millions, then let them give that guy money. To me, there is no difference in the Scienfukidy Extorionist and the guy Extortionist.
      Fuk them, they let him die under the church's watchfuk eye. I hope they both fukin rot in Hell.



    16. 116

      Let them try to sell it! 1. No one would want it, to publish or otherwise and 2. Their attempt to sell it will *Duh* land them jail time, and so will the person who buys it. Problem solved.

      Anyway, it's sick… the gov't is corrupt as hell in the bahamas.



    17. 117

      Whoever would pay one dime for that photo is a sick piece of shit. I hope these people fry when they catch 'em.



    18. 118

      It disgusts me how sick some people can be. My thoughts and prayers with Jet's family, through this difficult time. I hope these people realise how sick they are, I don't know what possessed them to think up such a thing.



    19. 119

      the pictures won't be released. This is similar to what happened with the Princess Diana photos of her still in the wreckage of the car. (Hopefully) no one would buy them, not only that they risk exposure once they sell them and once the district attorney is involved they are looking not only at extortion charges but federal wire fraud charges plus a whole slew of others. Sick, sick people!



    20. 120

      That is just so horrible, show´s how low some people are willing to go for money :(



    21. 121

      How totally heartless - I hope the people involved rot in hell.



    22. 122

      What great publicity for tourism in the Bahamas. The Anna Nicole mess, now this, I ain't going there!! If anyone publishes that photo I hope they're sued into oblivion.



    23. 123

      Where's my copy. Lovin Scientology. Which mag is going to buy the photo???? My guess is an Ok or Star.



    24. 124

      What a Low-Life Asshole! No Respect! Just Disgusting!!



    25. 125

      This is horrible… Aarrgghh I hope they both rot in hell for scheming this heinous plan on the Travolta's… This is just too sad for words…

      Got to ask here why take a picture in the first place? Could it be that this picture proves something that the majority suspected in the first place so now the Scientologist lawyers are trying to vilify the person who took the picture. Did the ambulance crew suspect something untoward was going on and that's why they took the picture in the first place? Or is it just for money?



    27. 127

      WELL WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF THIS MEDIA WHORE HORSE WE ALL RIDE AND PEREZ IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST WHORES. THIS SITE AND THE MAGAZINES THAT PRINT PHOTOS AND STORIES OF THOSE IN THE WORST OF TIMES JUST FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT ARE GUILTY OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE. TMZ HAS NO PROBLEMS SHOWING FILMS OF DRUNKS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF SOME POOR BASTARD. NOT THAT JETTS DEATH IS EQUAL TO A DRUNKED BRAWL BUT IT IS THE CONCEPT I AM WRITING ABOUT. THE SAME CONCEPT I HAVE BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT IS THE PRINTING OF MINOR CHILDREN PHOTOS AND THE TERRIBLE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT THEM. CALLING MILEY A WHORE? SHOWING PHOTOS OF CELEBS AND THEIR BABYS WHILE THEY ARE OUT AT A PARK? WHERE ARE THEIR RIGHTS AS CHILDREN TO PRIVACY? AS LONG AS WE SEEK AND THERE IS A DEMAND TERRIBLE PEOPLE WILL TAKE THESE PHOTOS. I COME HERE FOR THE GOSSIP BUT OBJECT EACH TIME A PERSON WHO IS SUFFERING FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE. A MINOR IS MADE FUN OF OR A CHILDS PICTURE IS POSTED. I AM NOT ANY BETTER THAN ANY ONE HERE. BUT WE ALL NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. AND PEREZ YOUR A SLEAZY PIG THE LEADER OF THE MEDIA WHORES WHO LIVES IN PARIS HILTONS ASS CRACK



    28. 128

      How utterly despicable! Those who are involved in this disgusting plot, I hope will be thrown in jail & the key thrown away, & while in there, should be beaten senseless…Bastard fuckers!



    29. 129

      Any publication that purchases those picture or even broadcasts them should be shut down. How can someone see another persons dead child and see dollar signs. There is a special place in hell for people like them.



    30. 130

      It's awful that someone would have the gall to take that photo. It's even more awful that the sleazeballs would try to sell it. What is truly a sin is that there is actually people who would buy such a photo and publish it in a magazine or on a blog. That in and of itself is truly a disgusting and shameful state of affairs.



    31. 131

      Let them sell the picture and then as a decent public we can permanently boycott any magazines who dare publish it.



    32. 132

      There is an easy way to deal with this Perez….if the photo ever comes out don;t link to it don't show it on your site. Don't make $$ off it yourself. If no one buys it and respects The Travolta's the sleaze ball will not profit off it. It is the freaken scumbag media that makes this shit possible!



    33. 133

      IF THIS IS TRUE… I can imagine few crimes more perverse, sick or disgusting. HOW COULD ANY HUMAN BEING BE SO ROTTEN? The answer is NO "HUMAN BEING" COULD/



    34. 134

      I'm with nugsy…why would anyone want to see it unless it proves maybe something shady was going on?? Let's face it, it's easy for wealthy people to cover up wrong doing…



    35. 135

      Isn't extortion against the law? How can it be that these sleazeballs would not be prosecuted for this? It's outrageous to me that anyone would do something this despicable to grieving parents, no matter who they are or how much money they may have. I would hope that they are taken in and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They are true bottom feeders who do not deserve to live out in free society, preying on people who are in the depths of despair.



    36. 136

      That is fucked off….what I wouldn't do to get my hands on those peices of filth…



    37. 137

      That is revolting.



    38. 138

      OH GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
      :'(



    39. 139

      This is So Disgusting!!

      My Heart goes out to the Travoltas!!

      I suppose the paramedic & the politician clear their consciences with ALL That Money!! YUCK!!

      I have been on such a High as most of us have been with President Obama & the Inaugeration & Hope for the present & the Future - This proves there are still Greedy Disgusting People out there!
      Hopefully Karma will Get Them!!



    40. 140

      That is so fucked up. Those people should know what it feels like to lose someone.



    41. 141

      I hope this is not true. What an arse!



    42. 142

      the only pics i want to see are ones of the soulless bastards,beaten bloody and behind bars. STAY STRONG TRAVOLTA FAMILY..YA'LL ARE LOVED!



    43. 143

      This is just sick. I can't believe the mentality of people that go "Oh look, a child is dying, let's get a picture and get money from the family!" Buncha effing sociopaths!



    44. 144

      their son just died and they have to put up with that shit?

      disgusting.



    45. 145

      people r so heartless. that is terrible.



    46. 146

      Wow it's sad how lame people are

      It's also sad that Travolta refused treatment for his son's autism.



    47. 147

      pp, r sooo fuckin annoying.

      bitches



    48. 148

      This is shocking and very disturbing. Anyone involved should lose their jobs and face criminal consequences. Any magazine or newpaper that runs a photo like this should be shunned by the American public. Shut those sleazey buainesses down. If no one buys it, they lose money. Anyone who purchases a magazine or watches a show with this photo in it is just as scumy as the person who took the photo. JUST SAY NO!

    49. Nugsy says – reply to this


      149

      IS THIS JUST A COVER STORY TO MAKE TRAVOLTA LOOK LIKE A VICTIM?

      Why would the police say this….A police source said: 'The investigation is at an early stage. Mr Travolta is co-operating fully.'!!!

      The police say that about suspects not victims!



    50. 150

      I don't believe this story for one minute. I think that it was made up so that no magazines would publish the photo. I smell bullshit.



    51. 151

      When they find out who is doing this, they can lock them up and throw away the key.



    52. 152

      Wow, I really hope this "paramedic" get's laid off work, and not to mention charges pressed against him and some jail time ’cause this is totallyyyy wrong, and fucked up I mean does he not have any morals ? And the thought people are actually bidding for this picture, that's so horrible. I hope the worst for the 2 who caused all of this.



    53. 153

      fucking disgusting. They'll get their karma.



    54. 154

      aww i feel so srry for them



    55. 155

      Re: caroaber – I couldn't have said it any better myself. May God have mercy on their soals (if they have any).



    56. 156

      thats sick. why why and why would somebody take a picture of a dying child



    57. 157

      that is the lowest of lowest things to do. i hope jett tells God to let those bastards burn in hell until the end of time.
