Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed that the sexual harassment allegations made against her husband Michael Douglas left her ‘devastated’. The husband and wife team have two children but their marriage was rocked when Michael was accused by a former employee of harassment. The 49-year-old actress said that the allegations led to the family of four having a ‘very big conversation about absolute morals’.
‘My children and I were profoundly devastated by those allegations. And I was torn about where my absolute morals lie,’ said Catherine. ‘This woman came out of nowhere and accused my husband. I had a very big conversation with him, with the kids in the room, and said, “Do you understand if more comes out…”‘
Michael, 74, has always denied the allegations but Dad’s Army star Catherine admitted her husband managed to put her fears to rest. Asked how he reassured her and their kids about the allegations, she told the Sunday Times Magazine:’By telling us that there is no story here and that time will tell. And, of course, it did. There was nothing to back it up at all. ‘For any accusation that comes out that isn’t backed up, that knocks the movement back 20 years.’
