Michael Douglas Issues Apology to Catherine Zeta-Jones for Controversial Remarks

In an attempt at humor that backfired, Michael Douglas has publicly extended an apology to his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, for his inappropriate comments regarding oral s=x.

The veteran actor's ill-conceived remarks sparked a wave of backlash and now he seeks to rectify the situation.

During a 2013 interview, Douglas made a controversial statement linking oral s=x to curing tongue cancer, stating, “It's a s–ually transmitted disease that causes cancer… And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it.”

However, he has now come forward to express remorse for causing distress to his beloved wife and their family.

Clarifying his initial statement, Douglas explained that he was referring to the HPV virus, emphasizing the importance of vaccination as a preventive measure against HPV-related cancers such as cervical, tongue, and throat cancer.

He firmly denies any insinuation that oral s=x can serve as a cure for cancer, asserting that his intention was to raise awareness about the necessity of vaccination.

Having battled cancer himself in 2010 and undergoing rigorous treatments, Douglas reflected on the challenging journey of recovery.

Recalling the emotional strain it placed on his marriage with Zeta-Jones, the couple briefly separated in 2013 amidst the turmoil of his illness.

Zeta-Jones candidly admitted her struggles during that period, describing it as a tumultuous time.

Despite the trials they faced, Douglas and Zeta-Jones emerged stronger than ever, poised to commemorate their upcoming 15th wedding anniversary.

The actor expressed his deep affection for his wife, underscoring the mutual commitment required to navigate through turbulent times.

He emphasized the resilience and dedication essential for overcoming obstacles in a relationship.

Confronting his mortality through the lens of cancer has profoundly altered Douglas's outlook on life.

Grateful for his recovery and newfound lease on life, he described the experience as a rebirth, evoking a sense of childlike wonder and appreciation.

Surviving the ordeal has imbued him with a heightened perspective on love, family, and personal priorities, illuminating the path forward with clarity and optimism.
