John Travolta maintains silence on Riley Keough scandal

John Travolta has chosen to maintain silence regarding the recent reports of his son’s biological mother being Riley Keough.

The actor and his late wife Kelly Preston had a son, Benjamin, who according to a recent report citing court documents is the biological son of Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley.

Riley was born to the King of Rock n Roll’s only child, Lisa Marie and Danny Keogh in 1989.

Ignoring the ongoing rumours, John took to Instagram to share a clip from his sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter and wished his fans “Very Sweathog Christmas”.

This was his first public post since the allegations were made public as a part of a $50m breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by Elvis’ former wife and Lisa Marie’s mother Priscilla's former business associates Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko.

As per the court documents, the actress donated her eggs to the couple so they could have a son in 2010.

The pair allegedly paid her $10,000 to $20,000 and “an old Jaguar”.

Priscilla Presley has denied the reports saying “Brigitte and her co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family.”

A the time of Benjamin's birth, Riley was 21 years old, meanwhile John was 56 and his late wife was 48.
