Hours before his wife Kelly Preston gave birth to their son Benjamin, John Travolta’s team sent a five-page legal notice to Gawker, demanding it remove a post purporting to reveal the actor’s so-called “secret sex life” with other men in Los Angeles spas. [see letter here]

Last year Carrie Fisher told Out Magazine that “we don’t care if John Travolta is gay.”

The Advocate decided to brush up on that subject with Carrie again and asked her what she thinks about John Travolta’s team of lawyers going after Gawker for publishing a story about his gay spa sex ways.

In the September 2009 issue of Out, you participated in its monthly Can I Be Blunt? column by sharing 10 things that gay men should know about straight women. One of those things was, “We don’t really care that John Travolta is gay.” I know you and Travolta go way back, so let’s get really blunt here: Does his legal team have any business demanding Gawker remove a recent post suggesting that he’s given blow jobs?

To which Fisher replied, “Wow! I mean, my feeling about John has always been that we know and we don’t care.”

She continued, “Look, I’m sorry that he’s uncomfortable with it, and that’s all I can say. It only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss. Just leave it be.”

Wow. Did she just call him out?
