Did Scientology Play a Part in Jett Travolta's Death?

Filed under: John Travolta > Sad Sad

jetttravolta1.jpg

A new report asserts that Jett Travolta suffered from autism NOT Kawasaki disease, which the Travolta's have long asserted.

Autism is a condition that is apparently not 'recognized' by John Travolta's beloved Scientology religion. Followers believe that autism falls under the category of mental illnesses. They view people who suffer from mental disorders as defective human beings and teach that such 'illness' be treated through spiritual healing. They reject the use of drugs to treat mental conditions.

Seizures are a common 'side effect' of autism when its left untreated.

Jett was reportedly knocked off his feet by a seizure before he hit his head on bathroom fixtures and then subsequently died.

Makes you say, hmmmm, right?

Update: Travolta's camp is now claiming that "Jett had suffered from grand mal seizures in the past and had taken anti-seizure medicine which the Travolta's say did not work, so the medication was stopped."

    I agree that people should back off when a celebrity's child dies. However, this situation is a little bit different. Jett's death leads one to believe that it could have been intentional. The Travoltas came across ashamed of their older son, and did not claim him as autistic but had some type of disease children from Japan get five years and younger. Kawasaki does not linger a lifetime.

    I WANT A FULL INVESTIGATION…..AND I HOPE THIS BRINGS A HUGE MICROSCOPE ON SCIENTOLOGY.

    Don't feed any bullshit about leaving the family alone. THEY (INDIRECTLY) KILLED THEIR OWN CHILD. Yeah, let them grieve over the child they barely acknowledged when he was alive.

    I think they'll get over it pretty quickly.

    In the meantime, I think this case needs to be solved. The poor kid.

  12. 112

    I just have to comment that your assertions about autism border on ridiculous. Autism is a 'spectrum' disorder and many people who have it display many symptoms. It is categorized under 'mental retardation' and treatment for it has only recently made headway with medication. It is irresponsible to post something like this. Raising a child with any disorder is extremely difficult and very private. However a family chooses to deal with that is a private matter. Dealing with the death of a child is extremely difficult. If scientology is dismissive of mental disorders that is wrong, but parents do the best they can with the information available to them. To blame Jett's parents for his death is wrong. For them to have to defend their parenting decisions in this difficult time is ridiculous, as they most likely blame themselves and have to deal with that for the rest of their lives.



  13. 113

    Re: Hawt Granny – THAT'S THE QUESTION! Excellent points granny! I hope we find out more about where they were? ANY child or adult with special needs (especialy one who has seizures) would be checked on more regularly! What are these caretakers being paid for?



  14. 114

    Re: Halfpint – I totally agree with you but I have a feeling that with Travolta's box office cash, no doctor will get up and state these facts. He will just go on and live the same life as always with no consequences. It is very sad the child died but he was a child and as one, you do what your parents tell you to do. If the child needed medication, it needed to be given no matter what the religion. The parents should have to explain this to a judge but it will never, ever happen. Very sad that his life could have probably been saved.



  15. 115

    Sadly a lot of anti epileptic drugs have serious side effects such as nausea, weight gain and even depression. Many parents don't want to see their children suffer and choose alternative therapy such as the Ketognic diet (eating lots of high fat under strict supervision). Either way it appears they did their best and I pray for peace to be with them during this difficult time.

    I love this site, but stories like this seem to cross a very thin moral boundary. I completely understand the want to run a no-holds barred site about celebrities, but I think it's only decent to leave a grieving family alone. They lost a child; I cannot even being to imagine what that must be like.



  18. 118

    Re: Halfpint – I personally know three people who suffer from seizure disorders, two are epileptic and one has severe MR/DD with seizure disorder. All three of them are on medications, have the magnetic implants by their collarbone, one had surgery, and all three of them still have seizures. They have been dealing with this since they were young children (one since he was a baby and is now in his thirties). Medications can help to an extent, but that doesn't mean they stop the seizures altogether. We don't know the whole story on this. There's speculation that Jett suffered from autism, but it's not a fact. He could have had a seizure disorder, but we don't know how severe it was. It could have been months, or a year, or longer since he's had an episode. Instead of "speculating" and trying to place blame on the parents, we should respect them at this time. It's devastating to lose a child, and we should allow these parents to mourn in peace at such a tragic time in their lives.

    Re: orchidgirl – Yes I will.go Ravens



  21. 121

    To all of you who want this to be swept under the carpet: this child suffered from a serious condition that his cult-fearing parents refused to acknowledge. They (as loyal followers of scientology) chose to deny him the medications and treatments he needed, a decision which very well may have caused his death. They chose their cult over the health and safety of their own son. If true, they are not just two poor parents who have lost a child. They are two people whose actions are not only to be questioned, but investigated thoroughly. This boy's life was worth that much. Certainly to some of us, if not his own parents.



  22. 122

    Re: Halfpint – are you kidding me? Can you cure my son then? You are spewing misinformation. Noat all people respond to drug therapy for epilepsy and sometimes the side effects are worse than the benefit. My sson is on 4 meds for his seizures are you telling me you can cure him? That was a very unprofessional post from a pharmacist very ignorant and a blanket statement! You should know better!

  27. 127

    This whole thing disgusts me to no end. I can't wait til the autopsy comes out..if it comes out. And you know that Davey boy Miscarriage is shittin' bricks. I would be suprised if the kid was on meds. And that shiz John once said about the medications not working..pah leese. Ok. sometimes you got to find the right med or combination of meds. And nothing is 100% but the right meds can help if not significantly decrease the frequency and/or severity of siezures. I've read some stuff from "those in the know" that John can't understand why this happened. I'm struggling with trying to find sympathy for ppl who reallllly reeeeeaaaly believe that the medical and psychiatric professions are unable to heal ppl or quakery. $cientology is not a religion and it offers no treatments to deal with illness. Just gobblety gook from L. Ron and he was a case himself. This is sad but not because of the parents. This is the consequence of their behavior. They made choices that had a negative outcome for their son. They're standing in the rain crying holy shit why are we wet. I just don't have sympathy for them.



  28. 128

    I realise that it may be far fetched to think that a story on this website would be well researched… but it's one thing to spread a rumour about who's dating who but quite another to accuse somebody of playing a part in the death of their young son.
    There are many disabilities that display autistic characteristics and if autism was an issue (it is becoming over-diagnosed in the US) then it is very complex and has individual needs… he may have been overweight because of this, a lot of autistic children are motivated by food. One comment stated that he did not speak, this is no fault of the travoltas - this is just another characteristic and as for never seeing him, a paparazzi filled environment is no place for a child - especially one who has disabilities.
    I work as a special needs nanny and these parents need a break! it's hard work, so having 2 nannies is not unusual.
    Perez - if you feel the need to make any more references to this case, please do some reasearch… you won't look like an ignorant airhead then.

I can't believe you would even remotely post this kinda crap. What ever happen to the little known phrase called

Until you people have MD after your NAME and treated Jett you have no right to say what the parents did was wrong! Because they did not expoit Jett and his disability doesn;t mean they were hiding him or ashamed! they were protecting him!

    Re: stoplying – Thanks for saying what you did!



  34. 134

    Re: ourmiraclekids – If you would take the time to read and interpret posts correctly and not put words in my mouth, nowhere did I say that it "cures" epilepsy. What I said was "I can't think of a single epileptic I've met in my practice who hasn't found at least one drug THAT HELPS THEM." Help does not equal cure. Help can be fewer seizures. Help can be less severe seizures. So before you go and spew your OWN misinformation and criticize me and my professionalism, I suggest you learn the english language a little better so you can understand what people have said.

    It has to do with Morals and where you need to draw the line.
    Your religion should not adversely affect the health of YOUR CHILD.
    If it is true that John Travolta refused to accept proper medication for his child because his religion doesn't "recognize" the disease, then he has every right to be spit at.

    Perez - You are not a doctor, and your accusations are inflammatory and cruel especially so soon after this young man's death. Personally, I have never heard of a link between autism and seizures, there is no medicine to "cure" autism, and there have been great breakthroughs with autism through behavioural treatment. Have you ever lost someone close to you who was so young? If you did you would never have posted this.

    Re: ourmiraclekids – And by the way, it is called Depakote, not "depekote". Although with the rest of your spelling and grammatical errors, I'm not surprised that you can't even spell a drug name right when you are obviously such an expert in the area.



  41. 141

    I'm getting pissed at all of the speculation surround this poor boy's death- I have an autistic son and yes, he's been on medication for years. Not to "cure" him, just to help with his moods.
    Medication DOES NOT ALWAYS help certain situations! Some have lessened the moods, some have escalated the moods or have done nothing.
    To those of you judging and acting as authorities, shut the fuck up!
    Perez, you have NO right to comment on this- you have no children, and you for sure have no idea what it is like for parents to have a special-needs child.
    John and Kelly may have shielded Jett from the public- not from embarrassment, but because if he was truly autistic, it is often TERRIBLY overwhelming for autistic kids to be overwhelmed by social situations i.e. tons of people- Perez, you have no idea!
    From what I've read and the pics I've seen- they were not embarrassed by their son. They were protecting him! Plus- their lives probably changed because of it! I know mine has- we rarely do anything social because it is too much for my son.
    Since there is no "cure" for autism- and I do suspect that Jett was on the spectrum at the very least (but then again- what do I know?) their choice to medicate him or not is purely their business.
    RIP Jett!



  42. 142

    Travolta is FULL OF SHIT with this comment.

    Anti-seizure medications DO WORK! Travolta is going to end up in jail, that is if the autopsy isn't done by a Scientology.

    The Travoltas KILLED THEIR CHILD! They never gave this child medication.



  43. 143

    How sad… My thoughts are with the family.

    Leave the religion bs aside because all religions have their faults. I can sit here and criticize every single religion I know of, none of them are perfect and every single of them has major flaws. But most people need religion to cope with the problems, struggles of everyday life. Who are we to judge?

    I'm an atheist, but I recognize that most people need something to believe in. So, Perez, let them be. You believe in something I find hard to believe too, and so does 99% of the people I know… But in this country, we supposedly have freedom of religion. As a writer, you should practice it!



  44. 144

    Scientology kills.



  45. 145

    142 LG, as a "breeder" who's love for her children is unequaled, it is hard for me not to personalize the lose of a child. The monsters you mentioned should suffer the painful deaths they implemented! In those cases, the tears I shed are for the children.
    You know how I feel about Scientology. It is a dangerous and powerful cult infiltrating the system here in the US. Now that is scary stuff!



  46. 146

    I don't see you criticizing Jenny McCarthy for not vaccinating her children. Just because she believes it's harmful doesn't mean it is. If everyone stopped vaccinating their kids, we'd see a flood of old childhood diseases all over again! The only reason people can go without vaccinating their kids is because the majority of us still do and prevent these diseases from spreading.

    I personally think it's idiotic for Catholics to prohibit me from having an abortion, Muslims to keep from showing my face, Jews to keep me from eating pork, and the list goes on… So who are we to judge what the Church of Scientology teaches? Everyone has a right to choose their religion, that's what we preach in this country, right?



  47. 147

    Hilton, you seriously need to consider completing your studies for a G.E.D. There is a big point here that you have totally skewed, and that is John Travolta never said the kid suffered from Kawasaki disease. In an interview with Larry King, he said that Kawasaki disease at the age of 2 seemed to be the harbinger of his problems. I am no expert, but that was probably the age of his diagnosis with whatever his problem was, which was more than likely autism. Also, Scientiology notwithstanding, even with the most religiously adherent medication regimen, an epileptic is an epileptic and can still have breakthrough seizures. Some epileptics are only helped minimally by meds. You're such a mean girl, Hilton. Imagine what would happen if Teddy got flattened by a car, then multiply that by … oh say 1000 times … then you may get the first glimmer of what it is like to lose a child. Shame on you trying to make ugly out of someone's grief by passing it onto your blog comments, like it's everyone else talking bad, and never you. What a little snot nosed girl you are.

  49. 149

    Although I don't want to criticize John and Kelly for their beliefs, I do believe that Jett was autistic. Every photo I've ever seen of him has always led me to believe that he had some type of developmental disability. His death is very sad, but it seems as though basic health care could have prevented it. But my heart still goes out to the Travolta family, whether or not I agree with their treatment of an obvious disease.



  50. 150

    Sad sad sad! Let's leave them alone!
    BTW: I have an autistic son, NO seizures!



  51. 151

    this is so sad and my heart goes out to the travoltas. no parent should ever have to bury their child. they obviously loved and cared about jett very much if they felt desperate enough to do something that is against their beliefs to try and help him. but you have to be patient with medication sometimes, especially if it's related to neurology or psychiatry. when you are first prescribed something it doesn't mean you'll see immediate results. that's why you follow up, there's reasons meds don't work sometime. factors such as the dose being too high or too low, the side affects, whether its even the right medicine (there's more than one anti-seizure medication out there). i was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when i was 15, it took a year and a half to two years to find the right match. you have to be willing to work with your doctor, and in the end it was worth the wait. we don't know anything about this with jett, like was he on it a week or a year and what made them believe medication wasnt helping. rest in peace jett!

  54. 154

    Perez, I'm not sure if you know this, but you's a dick. Seriously, when a family has just gone through a horrible tragedy, do you really need to start pointing the fingers? Is it also their fault that the shower stall was too hard? Maybe they created a son whose head was too thin? Not all people agree with medicating their children, and not all medications work. Speculating about what they did and didn't do is just horrible too, so just quit. Besides, doesn't Jenny McCarthy advocate not medicating her autistic child, and I don't see you talking shit about her.

  56. 156

    Re: ourmiraclekids – Depakote? The only drug they tried? The first drug they tried? That 's not the only anticonvulsant out there. I think the issue for some us (most of us) is the feeling/suspicion that John and Kelly did not seek "responsible" treatment for this child whatever the diagnosis. this stems from the fact that $cientologists have some very unusual ideas about medical and psychiatric intervention and treatment. Evidently, from your post, you have been through everything with little or no success. This happens but it is not common and you know that. John and Kelly probably did very little and that is the difference.

  66. 166

    He was on Depakote for years but then it lost it's effectiveness. At the time of his death he was down to one seizure a week so John and Kelly, worrying about physical damage from the medication decided to pull him off of it for the time being. So they did not deny him medication.



  67. 167

    Well hell Perez, a new low even for you, congratulations. For months you called this man a closet fag, and derided him. Now you express a oh so touching tribute to his son with a well thought out and profound statement on the child's photo "RIP" Deep. Very Deep. And to top it off, all the speculation as to whether the boy was ill, if so with what, was he medicated or not, the parents religion may or may not be a cult, (who are we to judge in the end?) why did they only give him one medication blah blah blah a child is dead. The parents have lost a child, a sister a brother. For once in you life show a little class, oh wait, you don't know what that it. OK show some respect. Might prove you are human after all.



  68. 168

    Re: iluvdatiger – I agree with you…this should not get swept under the rug, but I think Perez and everyone else in the media is being overly cautious. Everyone is afraid to get sued by the all powerful ($$$$$) Scientology. Am I the only one who recalls reading an article regarding Jett's Autism on this very site? It came out 2 years ago (although it mysteriously disappeared from Perez' archives…hmm) when a man who knew travolta spoke out about Jett's autism Hollywood, Interupted still has the article from May 07 with the man.
    Personally, this tragity hits home. My own uncle has Autism. I feel terrible for the Travolta's, b/c by all accounts they all loved Jett. That said, love and a belief in Xenu, spaceships and aliens cannot cure autism!!! This tragedy infuriates me so much! If in the 1960's, my own grandparents could get the proper interventions for their son, then the Travolta's surely could have gotten the proper treatment for Jett. He should have never been off anti seizure meds if he suffered from frequent grand mal seizures. There are now there are neurological surgeries that can be preformed on the brain to stop these seizures.
    Sorry for the rant but I cannot help but think that THIS DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN!!!



  69. 169

    Im all for the freedom of you putting whatever you want on your blog whether people agree because that it your right, HOWEVER, when you have a popular blog, you have a RESPONSIBILITY to do your research and report the FACTS. Especially in such a tragic case as this where a young man has lost his life, and a family will always be left with that gaping wound. First of all, the Travoltas have long asserted that their son had Kawasaki disease, not autism. It has nothing to do with religion, they have all the money in the world to see the BEST doctors, and you're telling me that 2 loving parents would deny their son, the love of their life, treatment for a disease. I think not. (I work with critically and terminally ill children for a living and you would be suprised at the heart-wrenching lengths parents will go to in an atempt to save their child's life, or get more time with them.) Also, while studies have shown a link between autism and seizures, it is certainly a stretch to say it is a COMMON symptom. Most of the time those children who are autistic who have seizures also have OTHER DIAGNOSIS' such as Landau-Kleffner syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, etc… I love you Perez, but either you and/or your employees who help you write this blog need to learn to use your power responsibly!

    Sheba,
    Read a book "Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography" by Andrew Morton.
    Not only it is a very interesting book about Tom Cruise ( including the fact that Tom left Nicole Kidman when she was PREGNANT , and she was desperate and had to get an abortion), but it has an amazing information about the Church of Scientology and it's current leader David Miscavige.
    Tom Cruise is the #2 man at the Church of Scientology right now, and this cult is outlawed ( illegal) in many countries including Germany, Great Britain and France )

  72. 172

    THIS IS NOT NEW NEWS. It has been speculated for years that Jett was autistic since the Travoltas are always posing with Ella and never have Jett out with them. And since Scientology does not believe in psycological diseases, Jett could not have autism, because autism has alot to do with the brain. (psycological). All different reports are coming out about the seizure medication, so who knows what is true. Normally a person is weened off one medication and put on another, never cold turkey. Unless the parent is not listening to the doctor. Not that we have heard all of the boy's symptons, and we do not know which, if any, are true, but, if Jett had 2 full time 'Mannys' with him, sounds like autism. A man would be able to handle a large teenager better than a woman, if someone needs to be within 6 ' of him, sounds like he gets into trouble, like wandering, getting into the wrong things, like a little child. If he had 'heart' problems like with kowasoki (most kids do not have any problems with it), having a heart/breathing monitor implanted would have solved everything. Most people have believed for years that he had autism and/or was mentally retard and the travoltas could or would not admit it because they were scientology. Perez has not uncovered anything that the national enquirer printed 11 years ago kelly and john know the truth and will have to live with it

    well if the parents neglected to give the child medicine based on religious beliefs and the child dies as a result then it is indeed a crime.
    but i don't personally believe people should be judging this family without knowing the actual facts. if they did wrong i'm sure the proper authorities will investigate and find out the truth. i think its rather disrespectful to be spreading such visious rumours about the travolta's during this most painful time of their lives.

    Fuck off every one of you who think you have the right to judge these people, what their beliefs are etc..you do not know them so quit assuming and making judgments..it is disgraceful that you pick the bones of a dead boy like the vultures you are..you have no shame nor any sense of respect for others..may you one day feel the same kind of pain these people are feeling and have morons (like yourselves) trashing and judging you..you make me sick!

    My nephew's anti seizure medication caused all kinds of terrible side effects and it did not stop the seizures, so he stopped taking it too. The brain is a complex thing and often you may never figure out what is causing problems.

    Re: ohreally
    You are right in saying that the average person shouldn't diagnose something as complex as autism by seeing photos and video or a person. However, in seeing Jett, you can clearly see, he was not a developmentally normal 16 year old. His sister appears more alert and aware than he was. People said they hid him away because they were ashamed of him. I wonder if they kept him out of public view because it was distressing for him to be on display.
    An autopsy will give us facts. The Travoltas can serve as an example of how not to take care of a special needs child.



  80. 180

    I'd have a lot more sympathy for his parents if I didn't have a sneaking suspicion Jett didn't get the appropriate medical care. Poor kiddo. :(



  81. 181

    it's so sad that "religion" took over parenting. people make bad choices and some suffer more than others. jett most likely would have lead a very full and successful life if medication would have been an option for him. at his age, he should have been able to decide what method would work for him, not his brainwashed parents. if they are true scientologists, they thought of him as less than human anyway. very very sad. the travolta's just made the ultimate bad decisions in this case…not treating their son properly, and not paying attention to him on that fatal night.



  82. 182

    wow perez…this story is tragic….john travolta has been a big idol of mine for years…i suffer from grand mal seizures and there is no way on earth dat my neurologists would suddenly stop medication coz it didnt work!!??? they wud wean me off it and then try another medication…it doesnt stop me from doin anythin…i work in a gym etc and most people dont know i suffer from them but i jst send my condolences to the travoltas as this is a terrible thing to happen for them at the start of a new year xxx



  83. 183

    After watching Jett Travolta in video clips, its obvious he was mentally challenged.
    Then the lawyer said he had a full time nanny, chimes on his door, and was constantly supervised. Why would a 16 yr old need??



  84. 184

    I've hear this rumor many times too, I wouldn't be surprised if it has some baseline truth to it.



  85. 185

    You could and can see the unhappyness with John and his wife. This kid was an obese hinderance more than anything else. And of course not of the Travolta image. I never knew Travolta had any kids. That wacky Scientology crap has these stars totally insane. So of course this means no meds were taken. Fake religion and common sense are totally lacking with this so-called "stars". I think their totally dumb-asses and I think I'm going to Hollyweird and start my own religion called "The Star of the Jerbil". This is were you pay me all your money and I'll tell you how you to live your life and I'll make you worship the Jerbil by rubbing it on your body. How many people do you think will fall for this? All I need is one star! Dumb asses!



  86. 186

    One other thing John Travolta and Kelly Preston - you are responsible for your kids. You brought into this world, you are responsible not any handlers. So in turn both of you are responsible for his death. If you were ashamed that he was a defect, you should had an extraction when told of his condition. Again, the both of you are responsible for this death because both of you should have been there.

    All religion is bullshit! Space gods, talking snakes, virgin births all bullshit stories. So sad that John neglects his son over his religion beliefs. God is great! yea right! There is no gods! Just another way to control people. Its nothing new, weak minded people…. so sad. Even Einstein sad there is no god. Just look at the war in the holy lands, let me guess its God will than so be it let the killing continue. strongest of the fittest. "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." Einstein

    Faggez, scientology, or any other religion won't kill you. Your filthy mouth will, be assured of that



  91. 191

    What an unbelievably stupid and insensitive post, Perez. You should be fucking ashamed. Too early. They JUST lost their child, man. What a stupid STUPID post. Do the right thing and delete this, Perez.



  92. 192

    Maybe when Jett had "Kawasaki's" and Kelly fixed him with Scientology based vitamin therapy - he would have only been three at the time, it damaged his brain thus causing the seizures. Neither autism or Kawasaki's are definite for seizures. However, organ damage caused by high dose niacin - liver, brain, vascular system is linked to seizures.

    $CIENTOLOGY LAWYERS AND MOUTHPIECES ARE NOW LYING ABOUT THIS AND SAYING JETT WAS ON MEDS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY IN HUGE TROUBLE THESE DAYS SINCE THEY CAN'T HIDE THEIR INSANITY AND ABUSE LIKE THEY USED TO. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT EXPOSE THEM AND ANON IS GIVING THEM A RUN FOR THEI PRECIOUS MONEY.
    THEY ARE OUTRIGHT LYING ABOUT HIM BEING ON MEDS AND THAT THE MEDS CAUSED HIM PROBLEMS!!! MORE $CIENTOLOGY PROPAGANDA!!! THEY WILL EAT SHIT!!!
