In his first interview since son Jett’s tragic death last January, Scientologist John Travolta says he and his family are relying on almost daily religious counseling sessions to help them cope.
Since the 16-year-old boy died following a seizure, “We’ve been working very hard every day as a family to heal,” Travolta said during a round-table interview (per USA Today) with the cast of his latest film, Old Dogs (out Nov. 25), which also stars wife Kelly Preston and daughter, Ella, 9. “We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping…”
Travolta and Preston declined to comment on an extortion case involving a former Bahamian senator and a paramedic who are accused of demanding $25 million from the family with information about Jett’s death.
In his extortion trial testimony, Travolta admitted for the first time that his son Jett had autism. He is believed to have kept his son’s condition a secret because of the way Scientologists view illness.
So his son was autistic, but he didn’t tell anybody because it’s against his “religion.” The boy died of a seizure. Many autistic children have a seizure disorder, but it’s treatable.
Did the Travoltas seek medical treatment for Jett’s autistic seizures, as forbidden by Scientology, which doesn’t even admit such a disorder exists? If not, is it too harsh to call their treatment of him “child abuse”? Are our hearts supposed to be warmed that they’re seeking comfort in the same cult that might have prevented them from protecting their son?
And do you think you or I would be getting the same kid-gloves treatment if this had happened to one of our kids?
