In the midst of grieving the loss of his son, Jett, John Travolta and Kelly Preston also found themselves at the center of an extortion plot.
The teenager tragically died from a seizure on Jan. 2 at the family’s vacation home in the Bahamas.
Travolta has allegedly been contacted by two extortionists who are demanding “millions of dollars” for a photo they have of Jett, taken while he was dying, the Daily Mail reports.
Travolta’s lawyers spent the weekend in the Bahamas, meeting with the alleged extortionists, according to the Mail.
Two men, including a Bahamian politician and a man thought to be involved with the ambulance service, are being questioned in the matter.
Upon returning to Florida, Travolta’s lawyers released the following statement:
“Regrettably in a time of such terrible grief there are often a few individuals who attempt to make false claims in hopes of making millions of dollars. We will never let that happen.”
