The topic of sexual harassment in Hollywood does not cease and this year.

Now in the epicenter of the scandal was 73-year-old actor Michael Douglas. His ex-employee, who wished to remain incognito, claims that more than 30 years ago the star of the film "Basic Instinct".

This Douglas himself told. According to him, the journalists contacted The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, saying that they plan to publish the story of a woman about an unpleasant incident with him.

"I received a letter from my lawyer informing me that The Hollywood Reporter is going to publish a story told by an employee who worked for me about 32 years ago. She states that I, first, spoke a vulgar speech in her presence, but not with her. Secondly, he talked rudely to friends in private conversations. In the end, I fired her for the work she was doing. Thirdly, she claims that I blocked her all the ways in this industry so she would not find a job. And fourthly, she said that I masturbated in front of her, "- said Douglas.

The actor assured that allegations of sexual harassment of this woman are "false and fabricated". Douglas recalled that he himself is married to an actress and has always supported the women's movement.

"Perhaps the employee is simply unhappy that I fired her, although I have not heard about her all 32 years. And the authoritative edition wants to publish this story? There is no evidence that this story is true, "- concluded Michael.

Douglas added that this story upset his children and could make them vulnerable to society.

By the way, recently the 39-year-old son of Michael Douglas Cameron first became a father. Young grandfather has already shown his grandchildren in the social network to the fans.
