16. I've had dealings with Ms Bridgewater and this does not surprise me in the least

17. I am so amazed of comments coming from idiots like Zimmerman. Idiots like that should never be allowed to comment on anything. America has done more to hurt people around the world than many countries. If America is such a perfect society why would you have a ready market for the same document that John Travolta wish to remain private. American media would right at this moment pay TOP Dollars for that information. I would have the likes of Zimmerman know that America is not the world and it has no monoploy on brillance. Crooks and thieves are everywhere - just ask those on Wall Street , in your federal government, in your judicial system, in your churches and schools who prey on innocent young children or those who kill in eat their dead like Jefferey Dahmer. We can talk about the Governor in Illinos, or the 42rd president and his lady friend or the senator in the airport bathroom . Zimmerman and the likes need only to look into the mirror and see and smell the highest level of corruption, deceit, criminality and other forms of ethical degradation so close to their own nostrils that they should never condemn anyone.

18. What in the world did these people supposedly know that Travolta did not want leaked? Another suspicious $cientology death. When is the government going to stop this crime syndicate as they did with the Mafia? "Religion" my ass. The cult cloaked itself in religion so it could operate as a criminal enterprise.

Write your representatives and demand this dangerous cult's tax exempt status be revoked. 60 years of destroying families, scamming people out of millions and deadly quackery all for the sake of greed is enough.

19. Zimmerman, I am sorry if your were born with a piece of a brain rather thatn one that is fully formed. I would have you to know that America is not the world and has no monoploy on common decency or intelligence. I wish to inform you if your brains is big enough to absorb intelligen thought that the Bahamas is a country with people more intelligent than you could ever be. I f you look carefully in the mirror you would notice quickly that your country's ethical standards is below what is considered morrally acceptable in many parrts of the world. Just ask those innocent boys and girls who are constantly molested and raped in your schools, your community and even in your churches. Just think about your Senator who goes into public restrooms for sex with other men, just think of what happened in your white house with your 42 president or in new york with your governor. Just think of what Jeffrey Dahmer did to those people or Joe Bundy or just ask America most wanted hoste what did a fellow American did to his son. Just ask the culprits on wall street why the USA economy needs to be bailed out. Just ask Bush the truth about Iraq. Morally and ethically , you have no business questioning the integrity or the intelligence of anyone , since you have a brain only the size of a mustard seed.

20. People who live in glass houses really should not throw stones!
Yes if extortion was attempted it is wrong and should be dealt with. But the unfair characterization of the Bahamas and Its people by the American media is just unbelievable. Isn't there a Senate seat for sale on Ebay ...oh and isn't there an unjustified war happening as we speak ...and who was Monica sucking off IN THE WHITE HOUSE?????? oh I know the F..ing PRESIDENT for God sakes...but isn't theUSA still the land of the free? a beautiful country with great people? So please don't act all saintly. Every nation, every government, every family has its own set of issues.
How dare the media act like this is the sin of all sins???? This case is far from over but they have already handed down sentance on the Bahamas. Why aren't they questionion John and Kelly's role in all of this. Jett was more than autistic..he was sick..very sick and they pretended that there was nothing wrong with him, not getting him proper treatment. The Bahamas didn't kill anna(died in Florida USA), her son danny (drug overdose)or Jett (scientology -condition ignored and denied conventional medical treatment ). In each case their own actions led to thier deaths...it just happend to be in the Bahamas.
The Bahamas is and will always be a beautiful place with beautiful people.

22. I AGREE. JOHN TRAVOLTA SHOULD BE QUESTIONED ABOUT THE DEATH OF HIS SON. ANY AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN THESE TIMES. OH!!! AND HIS SON WAS CREMATED ALREADY??? INTERESTING. IF PLEASANT IS GUILTY.........BOY SHE SURELY MUST HAVE SOMETHING VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY INCRIMINATING ON JOHN TRAVOLTA. NOBODY SHOULD BE RULED OUT AS WHO REALLY IS A VICTIM. THINK PEOPLE THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

23. 14. Tana - I guess you have all the details of the case, since you are so convinced of her guilt. Maybe you could shed some light on this and tell us all what really happened..you do know it all right?
Speak for yourself, because i certainly do not feel disgraced. I am a woman who knows that every woman or person is Innocent until proven guilty, the disgrace is when someone thinks the opposite.

24. someone please let R. Zimmerman know that there are attorneys in places like the Bahamas. And what do you mean places like the BAHAMAS. remember your Pres. et al

25. I still say that it is questionable that they cremated Jeff body so quickly and paid of Officals to keep the American press out of the funeral home.
As a Bahamian I can tell you that Pleasant is not guilty. she is up standing and respected as a lady and a lawyer . something is not right with the Travolta's they open the door for what ever happening now , by using their money and celebrity status.

26. Does anyone here remember that the first report about his injuries included a broken nose? Then it was taken back. Something is odd. And what could be worth all this $$$? But on the other hand why would the Travolta's let this leak out and not just pay it?

27. From what I hear they got this lady on tape. That's why she is being charged. John Travolta did the right thing by bringing this to the police. This doesn't sound like much to extort someone for,but the attempt was apparently made. When someone does such a heartless thing as to try and extort money from a grieving family,they should have the book thrown at them.
There have been no charges or allegations by the police of any wrong doing in Jett's death.,but some of you nutjobs insist there should be. Based on What? What evidence do you have? Just rumors,that people who hate scientology celebrities like to pass on as fact. Without having any. Give it a rest.


i also feel the Bahamas are wrongfully being attacked. I'm sure the travolta's feel the same way. They have a home there and I'm assuming they will keep it. It wasn't the Bahamas fault Jett died. It just happened there. We need to stop the blame game. It does not help the situation. Let the Travolta grieve in peace and move forward in their lives. They still have a lovely daughter who needs them now more than ever. Also let the people of the Bahamas alone. They aren't to blame foe a couple of supposed rotten apples. Let's see how this plays out,then we can judge.

28. The Travoltas let it leak out because they would whether pay the police department a little less money to help them with the coverup than pay the extortionists a lot of money for the same thing. Remember we still don't know what the accused extortionist had on Travolta. We only know what Travolta's camp say as to what it was. The whole leak of this story has come from Travolta's side of the matter -- noone else side has been represented in the media.

29. But do they actually have real attorneys in places like the Bahamas???
What a question. Do you have any sense. All I have to say on this one is that in no way on hell in the Bahamas can someone died have an autopsy the same day with the results in less than two weeks no matter how rich you are. This whole thing is a bit fishy.

30. TO THE AMERICAN AUTHORITIES AND THE AMERICANS:

MOST ATTORNEYS WORLDWIDE ARE SHADY. BUT...............JOHN TRAVOLTA HAS ALREADY GOTTEN RID OF HIS INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE............THE CREMATION OF JETT'S BODY.

JOHN TRAVOLTA NEEDS TO BE INTERROGATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WILL WIN THIS LAWSUIT UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN GUARANTEE THAT 100% ; THAT IS, ONLY IF US AUTHORITIES WITH MORALS STEP INTO THIS MATTER. A CHILD IS DEAD FOR GOD'S SAKE. FIND OUT WHO ALL THE CRIMINALS ARE. NOT BECAUSE JETT WAS AUTISTIC MEANT THAT HE DIED FROM THAT ILLNESS.

THERE ACTUALLY WAS SOMETHING HUGE TO BRIBE TRAVOLTA ABOUT AND DURING THESE ECONOMIC TIMES BRIDGEWATER MAY HAVE SEEN A WAY TO MAKE MONEY (IF SHE IS GUILTY THAT IS) . IF US AUTHORITIES REFUSE TO QUESTION TRAVOLTA......KARMA WILL EVENTUALLY SET IN. THINK PEOPLE!!!!!!! THINK!!!!!!!!
