UPDATE: John Travolta relives the day his son Jett died as he faces down accused blackmailers.
Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston was present inside the Nassau courtroom, when Travolta said that he performed CPR on his son after a nanny alerted him the teen had fallen ill at their Grand Bahama island home.
"I ran downstairs with my wife to help my son," Travolta testified.
As The ENQUIRER previously reported in our bombshell exclusive How John Travolta Foiled $25 Million Extort Plot what happened when family friend Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater and ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne allegedly conspired the turn the screws on Travolta.
A desperate Travolta HAD planned to personally fly his dying son from the Bahamas to Florida-but didn’t have the right plane for his mission, a friend testified yesterday. The star had signed a waiver that held paramedics without liability if they didn’t take his son to the hospital.
Travolta had wanted to fly Jett to a top-notch facility in Florida himself.
During his testimony, Travolta later admitted his son was autistic, revealing he suffered seizures lasting between 45 seconds to one minute occurring regularly every five to 10 days.
The "Church" of Scientology, which the Travolta belong to, doesn’t acknowledge "autism" as real nor do they allowed treatment outside of "church" doctrine.
