Meet
Okorie Okorocha, the relatively little known
California lawyer who is at the center of the John
Travolta massage sex scandal in which at least
two men have accused the Hollywood star of
inappropriate sexual advances while doing their
jobs.
He is up against one of the most famous lawyers
in the United States. Marty Singer has
represented countless stars, including A-listers
Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, and Arnold
Schwarzenegger. He is the guy you go to if you
need a good lawyer for the stars (and can afford
one) although it is safe to say that he has never
had a case quite like this one.
In fact Travolta's lawyer is already threatening to
counter-sue Okorie Okorocha and the two clients
who raised the allegations against John for
bringing phony allegations to court:
"The problem in America is anyone can sue
anyone. However, in this case this unidentified
plaintiff [John Doe] and his lawyer will regret they
filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of
them for malicious prosecution."
But Okorocha has come back swinging for the
fences:
"If Marty Singer thinks he can sue me on the
validity of Mr. Travolta's denials, and if he wants
to file the lawsuit now, I will give him a waiver
allowing him to proceed with it at this stage of
the case, even though under California law he has
to wait until he wins the case, and that absolutely
won't be happening. It will never happen, he
won't win, so we might as well get it over with
now. Bring it on."
