Another "mastodon" of Hollywood was the victim of accusations of harassment. This time, the righteous anger of the injured party hit Michael Douglas. True, the story told by The Hollywood Reporter to their colleague, Susan Brody, happened very well, in the late 80's. But sooner or later the disgrace of the actor was to become public.
The woman told me that Mr. Douglas, whom she worked for at that time, often allowed himself to release indecent remarks about her. But this is not all: Susan said that Douglas was engaged in self-satisfaction with her!
About 30 years ago, the victim of humiliation worked for Stonebridge Productions, a company owned by Douglas. Here's how she describes their cooperation:
"I remember that Michael behaved in the office, like at home. Especially not strained about appearance - went without shoes, in a loose shirt. I remember how we worked on the script, I was in the same room with him, but at a decent distance. At some point, he began to slip off the chair, continuing, to say something to me about the text that I am ruling. I thought that something was wrong with him, especially when his voice strangely dropped. I looked in his direction and saw that both his hands were inside unbuttoned trousers. There was no doubt, he was "amused" with intimate parts of the body! A little more and his voice "cracked," no doubt, it was a denouement. "
In that situation, the woman had no choice but to leave the room quickly. She felt humiliated, and Douglas thanked her for help in the back. He called his employee "good."
After some time the journalist was offered to sign an agreement on non-disclosure of confidential information. She did not do this and was fired.
Mrs. Brody is ready to provide proof of her confession: she has three witnesses to whom she, in those distant times, told her story, and she also retained various documents left over from the time she worked for Douglas.
Refutation Interviews
The potential defendant has already rejected accusations from his former subordinate. He learned that The Hollywood Reporter is preparing scandalous material about his person and managed to talk with reporters from the Deadline.
He said that Brody's words are lies, falsifications and there is no truth in them. I wonder how he could know what his former employee is talking about with journalists, if nothing "between" happened to them?
Here's what the actor told about working with a journalist:
"Yes, I really fired her. But the reason for this was the work she was doing. I did not talk about her filth with other filmmakers and in no way prevented her from finding employment after her dismissal. "
The Star of the "Basic Instinct" apologized for the rude expressions that he used during working conversations. He noted that "strong words" were not addressed to Brody, and he did not even think of insulting her.
