JOHN TRAVOLTA SEXUAL BATTERY LAWSUIT DROPPED!

John Travolta is as cool as the other side of the pillow right now. All the sexual battery charges against him have been dropped. Find out more…..

The remaining plaintiff in the sexual battery lawsuit against John Travolta fired his lawyer, but the case could continue with another lawyer and another court, two lawyers told CNN on Thursday.

Gloria Allred confirmed Thursday that the plaintiff known as John Doe #2 has hired her to represent him and possibly file a new legal action against the actor.

“We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit that was on file was dismissed without prejudice,” she told CNN. “We will be conferring with our client regarding what will happen next in this case.”

Okorie Okorocha, the lawyer who initially filed the lawsuit in federal court last week, said his second client called him Thursday morning and said he was fired. He later learned Allred had been hired.

The suit, which accused the actor of groping two male massage therapists at hotels in Los Angeles and Atlanta in January, is being dismissed Thursday by Okorocha.

Travolta’s lawyer, Martin Singer, has called the allegations by both men “ridiculous.”

John Doe #1, who said that Travolta sexually harassed him at the Beverly Hills Hotel, hired Allred on Tuesday, just hours after he withdrew from Okorocha’s lawsuit.

Allred said Tuesday that she and John Doe #1 would discuss if a new lawsuit would be filed against Travolta.

“We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take,” Allred said.

That dismissal was “without prejudice, which means that he is still legally entitled to file a lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses,” Allred said.

There was no immediate reaction from Travolta’s lawyer to the latest developments.

John Doe #1 withdrew from the lawsuit after it was learned Travolta was in New York, not Los Angeles, on January 16, the day he had alleged the massage incident took place.

Okorocha told CNN the date should have been January 15, but the mistake would have hampered the chances of John Doe #2 in court. He also said “personality conflicts” with John Doe #1 contributed to the decision.

The lawyer insisted in a CNN interview Tuesday that he would “mop up” in the courtroom with the allegations made by John Doe #2.

Despite losing both clients, Okorocha told CNN Thursday that he still believes they “absolutely have cases” against the actor.

He accused Allred of stealing his clients, which she told CNN was “completely false.”

“Mr. Okorocha’s representations are false, outrageous and defamatory,” Allred said Wednesday. “John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 contacted my offices and neither I nor anyone in my law firm solicited either of these two clients. Both clients first called me and asked me to represent them.”

Allred said after practicing law for 37 years, she does not solicit clients.

“Clients come to me,” Allred said. “John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 called me without my having any contact with them whatsoever prior to their phone calls.”

She demanded that Okorocha retract “his false statements.”

“I value my reputation and will defend it vigorously both publicly and in court,” she said.

Okorocha, reached by Wednesday afternoon, said he had a text message exchange on Tuesday with his client saying he was called by Allred.

“I get the case to national prominence and then someone who only does press conferences and sideshows, and doesn’t actually go to court or do trials, just steps in and says, ‘I’ll take the clients,’” Okorocha said.

Okarocha predicted that Allred would quickly reach a settlement with Travolta that would include an agreement not to disclose its existence.

“I will find out what’s in that settlement and I will get my equitable share of that settlement, because I did the majority of the work to get to where we are,” he said.

Okarocha said there are two more people he represents who may become plaintiffs.

“If Travolta doesn’t take responsibility, I’m going to file those cases,” he said.

OKORIE OKOROCHA, NIGERIAN LAWYER, TAKES ON BIG HOLLYWOOD AND JOHN TRAVOLTA

He is up against one of the most famous lawyers in the United States. Marty Singer has represented countless stars, including A-listers Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is the guy you go to if you need a good lawyer for the stars (and can afford one) although it is safe to say that he has never had a case quite like this one.

In fact Travolta’s lawyer is already threatening to counter-sue Okorie Okorocha and the two clients who raised the allegations against John for bringing (they say) phony allegations to court:

“The problem in America is anyone can sue anyone. However, in this case this unidentified plaintiff [John Doe] and his lawyer will regret they filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of them for malicious prosecution.”

But Okorocha has come back swinging for the fences:

“If Marty Singer thinks he can sue me on the validity of Mr. Travolta’s denials, and if he wants to file the lawsuit now, I will give him a waiver allowing him to proceed with it at this stage of the case, even though under California law he has to wait until he wins the case, and that absolutely won’t be happening. It will never happen, he won’t win, so we might as well get it over with now. Bring it on.”

Bring it on, indeed. So who is this David among lawyers, Okorie Okorocha?

Biography: He is a sexual harassment and employment discrimination attorney located in Pasadena, California, which is located in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. He works on sexual discrimination cases and other matters for a law firm that he partners with his brother. You can find it through their Twitter page here. As you can see, both of them could benefit from a visit to a hair-club for men.

Although he takes sexual harassment cases such as the massage scandal, Okorocha is mainly known for expertise in drunk driving cases. He has taken many DUI cases to trial, and won them, and is in fact a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association and an expert witness on the subject. You can see him strutting his stuff in the video below.

Okorie Okorocha has a bachelor of arts degree in 1999 from California State University, Northridge campus and a law degree from Whittier College in 2002. Neither of these are top of the line, but who needs gravitas when you are willing to go tooth and nail with the elite lawyersin the country.

By the way, Okorie is studying to obtain a master’s degree in forensic science from the University of Florida. That must be an on-line program because he can’t very well attend classes in Florida when he is practicing law in California.

According to his public profile, which you can find here, Okorie has nine years of litigation experience and he mentions spending more time in the courtroom that most other lawyers. He bills himself as California’s “most aggressive and prolific trial lawyer.”

That doesn’t bode well for Travolta. Usually the Hollywood stars want these things to go away quickly and quietly.

I really love the photo of the dashing looking Mr. Okorocha and his brother sitting between three lawyerly women with their hands on him.These gals are the sweet part of his legal team, accomplished attorneys in their own right.

So that is what we know about the John Travolta massage scandal lawyer. He is up against a Hollywood bigshot with a bigshot attorney, but Okorie Okorocha and his team is not shrinking from the fight.
