Last week, a flattering interview with John Travolta showed up in the Telegraph in advance of the actor's appearance this weekend in London. Since then, numerous media outlets have been making much of one statement Travolta made in the piece about how he coped after the 2009 death of his son Jett...

"I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had the support of Scientology. I don't think I could have got through it. They were with me every day after Jett died. They even travelled with me when I needed to get away. And for a solid two years it was like that. It was only in the second year that I started to take a break of a day or two just to see how I was doing on my own."

If Travolta intended for that to make Scientology look beneficial, it's had the opposite effect — he seemed to indicate that church handlers were watching him so closely for more than a year, at some point he needed to get away.
