Olivia Newton-John has replied to recent criticism about her film “Grease.” Newton-John and John Travolta appeared in the 1978 musical, which is still a classic today.
The video premiered on BBC during the Christmas season of 2020, and as viewers revisited it, several labeled it sexist and misogynist.
“I mean, this movie was made in the 1970s, about the 1950s,” the 72-year-old actress added, dismissing the uproar as “silly.”
Sandy Olsson, played by Newton-John, is a high schooler who falls for local lousy boy Danny Zuko, played by Travolta.
John Travolta reportedly accused Travolta of reaching out and intimately groping the masseuse while lying face down.
According to the report, Travolta also uttered several sexually explicit things to the masseuse. An unnamed person accused the actor of sexual assault and abuse in 2012.
The case against Travolta became more complicated when a second person entered a plea. But is John Travolta gay, and what does he think about people’s fascination with his sexual behavior?
