michaeldthomasUnless you live on Mars, you've probably heard about the tragic passing of Jett Travolta due to his seizure disorder. I realize that there are a lot of strong feelings out there about Jett's family and their religion of Scientology. Here is some advice, though, that I would like to give a lot of bloggers, tabloid news shows, columnists, and other celebrity watchers.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
You don't know the specifics of Jett's disorders and treatments, and it's none of your goddamn business. There's a reason why you have to sign all of those damn privacy forms at your doctor's office. Nobody has a right to nose into your medical history, and you don't have the right to nose into Jett Travolta's.
This is family that has had a rough road and is dealing with terrible pain and guilt. They need your support, not your wild theories of neglect and abuse.
