Powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred has formally reached out to John Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, to notify him that she’s representing two masseurs who had filed sexual battery lawsuits against the actor and that they are currently weighing their legal options, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, Allred was hired to represent the men after both had fired their previous attorney, Okorie Okorocha, who had filed the blockbuster lawsuits against the Pulp Fiction star, which were subsequently withdrawn.
Singer has vehemently denied the allegations and branded both men liars.

Allred had "no comment" on this story.
