A judge in the Bahamas has dropped charges against two people accused of attempting to extort $25 million from John Travolta, the Associated Press reports. Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne were charged with trying to release information about the 2009 death of Travolta and wife Kelly Preston’s 16-year-old son, Jett. The judge dismissed the case after prosecutor Neil Braithwaite submitted a motion on behalf of the actor to drop the charges. “The Travolta family has said that this matter has caused them unbelievable stress and pain and they wish to put this whole thing behind them,” Braithwaite said.

The optimist in me wants to believe otherwise, but now this whole thing seems kind of fishy…
The Travolta family is so loving and generous. They (Travoltas) do not need to be treated so unfairly by the involved jerks that try to get the Travolta’s money and want to cause them more grief. Leave them alone
I live in the Bahamas and have to sadly say that Mr. Travolta was never going to get justice, especially when the persons involved were a standing Senator and her accomplice.
I TOTALLY agree with Ray!
Golly I wish the haters would leave JT and his family alone. Gay or straight it doesn’t matter. They lost a son and are now having a baby – leave them in peace.
What on *Earth* are you talking about??? lol
Leave his family alone! These low lives instead of working, find ways to commit malicious defamation or destroy people’s lifes. John lost a son for god’s sake and we would all feel bad and vulnerable and not in the right frame of mind if we go through tragedy and injustices so this jerk took advantage of it. The most vulnerable time! John lost a son and is having another baby Im glad for him as if his son has returned through another child.
correction last comment. It’s as if his son that was lost is returning through this child, it is a miracle!
Didn’t care then and I do not care now!
