«Breaking News» Catherine Zeta-Jones was 'devastated' by sexual harassment allegations against Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed she was 'devastated' by the sexual harassment allegations made against her husband Michael Douglas.

The Welsh-born actress, 49, said she was forced to have a 'very big conversation' with her husband, 74, while their children were in the room, after a former employee accused Michael of masturbating in front of her 30 years ago.

Catherine described how she was 'torn about where my absolute morals lie' following the allegations, but said 'there was nothing to back it up at all.'

The mother-of-two also admitted that she and Michael have 'had ups and downs in our marriage', but added 'I don’t throw the towel in very quickly on anything.'

Catherine Zeta-Jones (pictured at event in LA earlier this month) has revealed she was 'devastated' by the sexual harassment allegations made against her husband Michael Douglas 

Michael denied the sexual harassment allegations made against him in January this year, saying: 'This is a complete lie, fabrication, no truth to it whatsoever.'

A former employee alleged he masturbated in front of her, with the actor and producer deciding to come forward himself with the claims - because his children, Dylan, 18, and Carys, 15 - feared he would be labelled a sexual predator.

Speaking about the allegations, Catherine told the Sunday Times Magazine:'My children and I were profoundly devastated by those allegations. And I was torn about where my absolute morals lie.

'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…"' 

Catherine, 49, said she was forced to have a 'very big conversation' with her husband Michael, 74, (together at a ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month) after a former employee came forward earlier this year to say Michael had masturbated in front of her

Explaining how Michael had reassured the family about the claims, she said: '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.'  

In January, Michael decided to come forward himself with the allegations, after being approached by the Hollywood Reporter.

The Wall Street star revealed he was approached about the allegations just before Christmas - and on the same day his son Dylan was accepted to college.

He told Deadline: 'When we were all ecstatic... (then) I got a message from my attorney that The Hollywood Reporter wanted to do a story about an employee that worked for me approximately 32 years ago.  

Catherine explained how she had confronted Michael about the allegations while their children Dylan, 18, and Carys, 15, (above with their parents last year) were in the room

Michael said the allegations that he masturbated in front of her was a 'complete lie'.

He added that his family had been left with the consequence of embarrassment and shame following the claims. 

'The part that hurt the worst is having to share something like this to your wife and your children,' he said.

'My kids are really upset... have to go to school worrying this is going to be in some article about me, being a sexual harasser. They’re scared and very uncomfortable.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
