A month back Fabian Zanzi, who used to work with Royal Caribbean, filed a suit against Travolta accusing him of "forcefully embracing" him while naked on a cruise.

In the documents filed Friday, Travolta admitted he was a passenger on the cruise around June 2009, but denied engaging in any type of sexual misconduct, reported E! Online.

Zanzi described his alleged encounter with Travolta in a graphic, 16-page lawsuit, which said Travolta forced him to engage in contact that was "nonconsensual, inappropriate, extreme and outrageous," when he was supposedly appointed as Travolta's personal suite attendant on a cruise.

The lawsuit also alleged that Travolta offered Zanzi USD 12,000 to keep quiet about the incident. Travolta's response denied that allegation, as well.

Travolta is asking that the lawsuit be dismissed and for Zanzi to pay his attorney's fees.
