Appearing on “Around The Piano”, Entertainability Group figurehead, Rikki Lee Travolta, makes the first public statements since staff members were rescued from being held captive for months on an Airbnb property, enduring related assault and other crimes including those of an intimate nature. Watch a clip here, and see the full video below.
Employees were held against their will on the property after a police report was filed for theft of company property at the Airbnb. The Airbnb host and property owner had previous complaints on record with various agencies, including those by Lake County township governing bodies for renting Airbnb properties without legal approval.
Entertainability Group represents Music, Hollywood, Broadway, and Sports figures. The company specializes in Sunset Strip Hard Rock and Heavy Metal acts from the Golden Era of MTV.
Travolta is the personal publicist for Steven Adler, the Grammy Hall of Fame drummer who created the “Adler Swing-Style” drum sound that has defined Guns N’ Roses since their debut album Appetite For Destruction. Travolta endorses and serves as spokesperson for select premium products and service providers.
Westward360 is the management and maintenance agency for the Airbnb property. It lists itself online as a $15-billion company. Better Business Bureau reports indicate a statistically high level of complaints, including allegations of fraud and abuse.
The theft report that prompted the host ‘s illicit actions was recorded on video in the lobby of Entertainability Group client California Cookies, with proprietor Patrick McSherry also witnessing.
Entertainability Group was founded by Deborah Swinford and Travolta. In addition to celebrity image and branding, the company publishes online and print publications, and produces film, television, podcasts, and recorded music.
In alliance with London-based United Theatrical, the company is involved in the financing of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions and related cast recordings
Current financing projects include cast recordings for U.S. and International productions of the Off-Broadway Best Musical “Titanique the Musical” which features the songbook of Celine Dion, Also a focus is a recording and related documentary for “Kansas City Choir Boy” featuring Grammy winner and Golden Globe nominee Courtney Love.
Property stolen included masters for albums, as well as completed films and television footage. The estimated replacement cost of the stolen intellectual materials is over $15 million. The criminal actions by the Airbnb host were believed to be motivated by the financial liability for the losses.
Efforts to locate the missing company personnel were obstructed by extensive disinformation efforts. The social media profiles, credit cards, bank accounts, communication devices, and identities of the missing individuals were pirated and used nefariously. Several Westward360 principals come from technology company CDW, including the one designated online with Airbnb,
Corroborating witnesses of events at the Airbnb rental property include outside business representatives, contact employees, consultants, clients, public housing representatives, and licensed social workers.
Social worker Jacqueline McHamer participated in phone calls to Westward360 executives requesting intervention. The calls were recorded
Airbnb was contacted regarding the matter in cooperation between representatives of Entertainability Group and members of the Schaumburg police department. Those contacted include Jessica Jenkins (senior level global entertainment & consumer partnerships) and Eugene Krasnopolsky (director of global brand marketing),
No calls or emails were returned by Airbnb. However, per analytics reports, Airbnb legal representatives began viewing the online business and social profiles of Entertainability Group staff.
Following the rescue, extensive time has been spent making reports with police, including Schaumburg. Police in multiple towns are involved. Crimes crossed state lines. Watch video here.
“Around the Piano” is produced by 216 Creator Studios and is hosted by Tim Paul, who was honored as a 2025 NAMM Top 100 Dealer.
