Catherine Zeta-Jones admits she was put in a difficult position after Michael Douglas, her husband of almost two decades, was accused of sexual misconduct.
“My children and I were profoundly devastated by those allegations. And I was torn about where my absolute morals lie,” the 49-year-old actress said in an interview with London-based newspaper The Times, published over the weekend.
“This woman came out of nowhere and accused my husband,” the Oscar winner continued, adding, “I had a very big conversation with him, with the kids in the room, and said, ‘Do you understand if more comes out …’” she recalled.
Zeta-Jones said that because she and her husband both fully support the #MeToo movement, the situation was especially “nasty.” “It was a really hard position for me and, in the height of it all, it was nasty,” the actress told the Times.
