Michael Douglas Faces s**ual Harassment Accusation from Former Employee
In a recent development, Susan Braudy, a journalist and novelist who worked for Michael Douglas at his production company in the late 1980s, has come forward with allegations of s**ual misconduct against the actor.
This comes after Douglas attempted to address the issue by preemptively denying the accusations made by a former employee who claimed he masturbated in front of her over 30 years ago.
Braudy has provided The Hollywood Reporter with a detailed written account of the incidents, supported by notes, records, and a timeline of her employment.
She also mentioned three individuals who were willing to corroborate her claims.
According to Braudy, Douglas frequently demeaned her in front of colleagues, making derogatory comments and mocking her appearance.
However, the most shocking allegation is that Douglas masturbated in front of her.
During a script meeting in 1989 at Douglas' apartment, Braudy stated that she witnessed the actor undressing and touching his genitals while discussing an E.T.-like character.
She described the discomfort she felt as she observed him engaging in inappropriate behavior.
Braudy said, “Within seconds his voice cracked and it appeared to me he'd had an orgasm.”
Braudy revealed on the “Today” show that she had refrained from coming forward with her accusation out of fear.
She explained how friends had cautioned her about revealing information concerning Douglas, emphasizing the potential consequences she could face.
Braudy further expressed her belief that Douglas acted with a sense of entitlement, thinking he could humiliate her without facing any repercussions.
In response to the allegations, Douglas reached out to Deadline in January, expressing his desire to address the issue before any articles were published.
He wanted to share his thoughts and concerns with the public in advance.
Douglas admitted to using vulgar language but denied the accusations of blackballing and masturbating in front of the woman.
He claimed that he eventually fired her for reasons related to her work.
Expressing his disbelief, Douglas stated, “I don't know where to begin.
This is a complete lie, fabrication, no truth to it whatsoever.”
Despite his denial, Braudy's detailed account, supported by documentation and witnesses, adds weight to the allegations against him.
The accusations against Michael Douglas come at a time when the entertainment industry is grappling with numerous s**ual misconduct scandals.
The courage exhibited by Braudy in speaking out serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing such issues and holding individuals accountable for their actions.
It remains to be seen how this accusation will impact Michael Douglas' career and whether further investigations or legal action will follow.
As the #MeToo movement continues to shed light on s**ual harassment and assault, it is crucial that these allegations are treated seriously and thoroughly examined.
The consequences of such behavior must be addressed,
