Catherine Zeta-Jones: Harassment charges against Michael Douglas hit her hard
The start of 2018 was certainly not easy for Catherine Zeta-Jones (49, "Tempting Trap") and her family. Her husband, Michael Douglas (74, "Ant-Man"), has been charged with serious allegations of sexual harassment. Susan Braudy, a former associate of his production company, claimed that the Hollywood star had behaved towards her in the late '80s, even self-satisfied before her eyes. "My kids and I were completely devastated," Zeta-Jones now reports from the moment she heard about the allegations for the first time.
what is right, what is wrong?
The situation in which the 49-year-old resurrected earlier this year was "nasty" and "really hard," she tells the British Sunday Times. "I was double-crossed about my morals." Because Zeta-Jones is not only a loving wife, but also a strong supporter of the #Metoo movement.
"This woman came out of nowhere and accused my husband," the actress continues. And although Douglas asserted that there was nothing in the whole thing and said, "Time will tell," there was a need to act. Zeta-Jones recalls: "I had a very long talk with him, the kids were in the room as well." In the end, they came to the conclusion that the 74-year-old should take the step to the public. At that time he gave "Deadline" a preventive interview.
In the end everything will be fine
Michael Douglas should be right. Susan Braudy's allegations were in the sand. "Of course, there was nothing to substantiate the allegations," the daily USA Today quotes the relieved wife. In spite of good news, she is also angry in retrospect. "Every time charges are made for which there are no clues, the movement is thrown back 20 years."
Catherine Zeta-Jones has been married to Michael Douglas since 2000. The couple has two children: daughter Carys is 15 years old, son Dylan 18.
