Unbecoming Travolta: a memoir of mania and multiple personalities
Rikki Lee Travolta, internationally acclaimed author, producer, and media personality, is the victim of a sustained campaign of defamation and identity theft that has sought to damage his reputation through false and damaging claims.
Travolta has been targeted by fake biographical works, fabricated online postings, AI-generated videos, and fraudulent articles. These smear tactics have included wholly fabricated insinuations of mental illness, fictitious affairs with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Blossom star and People Magazine online columnist Jenna von Oÿ, categorically unfounded suggestions of unlawful conduct, as well as prosperous suggestions of illicit drug use and affiliations with questionable characters. Travolta unequivocally rejects these accusations and is clear: he has never been, nor is he now, mentally ill.
Rikki Travolta is an executive authority in prominent fields of influence who has a disability protected by the ADA; his disability is not mental illness and not related to mental illness. In America, over twelve million people are misdiagnosed each year. The number of individuals who are falsely and libelously labeled without involving medical personnel is equally alarming.
The author and his legal team have demanded that the libelous book Unbecoming Travolta be pulled from the market due to its gross inaccuracies and profoundly damaging content. Travolta is committed to protecting his legacy and upholding the truth.
Beyond these attacks, Travolta’s career spans multiple industries, including best-selling author of the novel My Fractured Life, a passion project for Academy Award winner Heath Ledger, and recognized expert on Napoleon Hill’s success philosophies. He has also been praised by Apple CEO Steve Jobs for his marketing genius in launching the first OSX-Tablet.
Despite the adversity, Travolta remains a symbol of resilience and integrity, continuing to inspire as “America’s Friend” — advocating for truth, positivity, and The American Dream for All.

About the author
Rikki Lee Travolta
3 books3 followersRikki Lee Travolta is an acclaimed author, influential product spokesperson, celebrated television and podcast host, and accomplished producer across film, television, and music. He is also an international award–winning screenwriter whose creative reach spans multiple mediums.
Travolta’s debut novel, My Fractured Life, became a best seller and was the passion project of Academy Award winner Heath Ledger, who was eager to star in its adaptation. A pioneer in alternate history fiction, his work has been compared in influence to The Man in the High Castle, His Majesty’s Dragon, The Underground Railroad, and Fatherland.
As a literary authority, Travolta is counted among the Top 5 experts on the success philosophies of Think and Grow Rich author Napoleon Hill. Serving as the private researcher for Hill’s official biography, he spent months in exclusive sessions studying the teachings of one of history’s most respected motivational figures. He is also the sole custodian of an exclusive selection of Hill’s prized private audio diaries — a rare collection of significant historical value.
In the business arena, Travolta and his team have built and revitalized multiple No. 1 brands, achieving success across a wide spectrum of industries — from computers and home improvement services to cell phones, automobiles, air travel, food products, consumer electronics, and travel destinations. He was praised as a Marketing Genius by Apple CEO Steve Jobs for generating groundbreaking and historic levels of press coverage for the first OSX-Tablet. His expertise in brand positioning and market influence has helped elevate companies such as Chaya Tequila, Empire Today, Other World Computing, Axiotron, Kinko’s, Lola Wireless, NewerTech, Roth Staffing, Pavement Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, and Red Light Entertainment.
Travolta commands a loyal following in the horror film community and the rock ‘n’ roll world, credited with helping to revive the careers of Sunset Strip–era heavy metal legends. A former national headlining theatrical leading man, he has earned multiple acting awards, including Best Actor honors for The Sleight at the Gene Siskel Film Center’s Midwest Film Festival, sponsored by Lamborghini. He helped turn Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding into a national sensation and was slated to star in the 2005 Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie before production delays intervened. Throughout his acting career, Travolta was in the running for some of Hollywood’s most iconic roles, including Thor, Anakin Skywalker, and James Bond—testament to his versatile talent and magnetic screen presence.
His personal story is one of extraordinary resilience. He survived physical abuse, identity theft, and malicious character assassination — including the publication of fake biographical works, fabricated online postings, AI-generated videos, and fraudulent articles that spread false allegations of mental illness, affairs with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Blossom star and People Magazine online columnist Jenna von Oÿ, and preposterous suggestions of illicit drug use. Travolta unequivocally rejects these accusations and is clear: he has never been, nor is he now, mentally ill.
The author, along with his legal team, has demanded that Unbecoming Travolta be withdrawn from the market, denouncing it as inaccurate, libelous, and profoundly damaging. Travolta fought back against such defamation, and despite these attacks, continues to rise — embodying his philosophy of turning tragedy into triumph.
Known nationwide as “America’s Friend,” Rikki Lee Travolta inspires audiences through his books, media appearances, and business achievements, leaving a lasting impact on American culture, the economy, and the enduring spirit of The American Dream for All.
