Another one of John Travolta’s sex accusers has jumped in bed with Gloria Allred.
The rubdown artist known as John Doe No. 2 fired his original attorney, Okorie Okorocha, yesterday and hired Allred to handle his $2 million sexual-battery claim against Travolta.
The surprise move came just days after another Travolta accuser — known as John Doe No. 1 — first dumped Okorocha and hired the pit-bull feminist lawyer.
Doe No. 1 turned to Allred after dropping his suit on Tuesday. Doe No. 2, an unidentified masseur who worked at an Atlanta hotel, has also dropped his original federal suit while switching lawyers.
The dropped cases had looked like a break for the 58-year-old superstar, whose marriage to actress Kelly Preston has allegedly been battered by the allegations of gay sexual shenanigans.
In just the past week, other masseurs have come out of the woodwork with steamy allegations against Travolta — and one published report claimed that he once attempted to perform oral sex on the late Jeff Conaway, his former “Grease” co-star.
And Allred said Travolta’s not out of hot water yet.
She said she was already working with Doe No. 2 to file a new suit against the star.
“We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court,” she said in a statement.
“We will be conferring with our client regarding what will happen next in this case.”
She is also considering refiling Doe No. 1’s case.
It’s not clear why Doe No. 2 dumped the troubled Okorocha, who declared bankruptcy 10 months ago.
“The Atlanta masseur just didn’t trust Okorie going forward, and he didn’t think his attorney had his best interests in mind . . . The masseur absolutely [will] pursue legal action against Travolta,” Radar Online reported.
Okorocha reportedly accused Allred of poaching his clients, a charge she blasted as “false, outrageous and defamatory.” She said both “called me and asked me to represent them.”
Both accusers have seen their suits suffer embarrassing blows by evidence undermining the time lines laid out in their claims.
Doe No. 1’s case took a nose dive after Travolta’s lawyer provided proof the actor was in New York at the time the masseur claimed Travolta groped him at a hotel in Beverly Hills. An e-mail sent by a co-worker of Doe No. 2 published by Radar Online cast doubt on the time the masseur said he was sexually assaulted by Travolta.
Travolta has denied all the claims.
