Actress Kirstie Alley says John
Travolta is not gay.
The 61-year-old Alley and Travolta
starred opposite each other in three Look Who's Talking films.
Rumors that Travolta is gay have dogged
the 58-year-old Travolta for years. In recent months, multiple men
have stepped forward to claim they had affairs
with Travolta, witnessed
Travolta having sex with other men or were sexually
harassed by Travolta. Travolta's lawyer has denied all the
allegations.
In an upcoming ABC News interview
previewed on Wednesday, Barbara Walters asked Alley about the rumors.
“I know John,” Alley said. “With
all my heart and soul, he's not gay. I think it's some weird way in
Hollywood, if someone gets big enough and famous enough and they're
not out doing drugs and they're not womanizing, what do you say about
them? I think that people think that's the supreme insult: He's
gay.”
Alley also said she was once madly in
love in Travolta, calling him “the love of my life.” (The video

Alley's tell-all memoir, The Art of
Men (I Prefer Mine al Dente), arrived on bookshelves Tuesday.
