Michael Douglas Gets Out Front Of Potential Harassment Story To Preemptively Deny Sordid Accusation

Yeah, just like Louis C.K. denied masturbating in front of these lying bitches.

All straight men are trash. But of course because he's an old sick sorry looking man he'll get away with it. Just like Kirk.

Nice story: "I believe those women who said they were sexually harassed.....just not the ones who are accusing ME!"

"After all, few of these stories have been accompanied by police reports, DNA evidence or criminal prosecutions."

Anyone actually read the interview? Or have we "cancelled" and "collapsed" Mr. Douglas?

I thought MeToo# was over? It's going to be a very bumpy road to the Oscars!

Well, then, I daresay, madam, you may have never had a dream. Come on, man, that's a brittle spirit.

Is this so he can get the news averted away from his father? That his father raped Natalie Wood?

Well, remains to be seen if more women are coming forward. Just because he said he didn’t do it,doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. And just because she said it did happen, doesn’t mean it happened.

I saw him recently and he looks pretty bad in person.

R9 you're not paying attention, "She Said, He Gone".

I think Franco will divert attention so he might be okay.

R11: YOU are not paying attention, numerous women have made allegations, and if the men are gone, it’s because HR clearly had known all along what was going on.

As long as 25 years ago Michael was publicly stating he was a sexaholic. Short of dragging an unconscious woman off the street to rape her I'm not too sure what could be said that isn't already "forgiven".

Everybody knows and accepts he hit on anything that moved.

R14 "hit on" ain't rape.

we now live an irrational, hysterical society where any woman can accuse any man of rape at any time in the past.. and her word alone is enough to convict that man in the public eye. this is so laughable. the next thing that comes along that outrages the always outraged will erode more rights and then more, until everyone is in shackles.

R16 literally no one has gone to jail. There have been no shackles. No need to be so dramatic!

It's just women, children and some men talking openly about a subject that was being suppressed. But there is no reason to suppress it. We now live in a culture where we literally talk about everything.

So there is no reason not to openly talk about sexual abuse and harassment. It used to be taboo to talk about divorce and out-of-wedlock kids but now we don't even blink an eye at these things.

People will get use to this subject, too.

And while a certain kind of man is getting his due why dont we ALL figure out how the suppression of our sexual nature has hurt us ALL!

ESPECIALLY the most "civilized" folks among us.

I didn't have any idea that masturbating in front of women was a thing until all this started coming out.

Being a sexaholic and hitting on everybody isn’t anything like raping people or threatening people’s jobs. If he was creating an uncomfortable working environment for people who had no way to tell him to stop without risking their jobs, that would be relevant, but otherwise “being a sexaholic” isn’t what any of this has been about. You can be addicted to sex without being James Toback.

"we now live an irrational, hysterical society where any woman can accuse any man of rape at any time in the past.. and her word alone is enough to convict that man in the public eye."

Uh, except assholes like you always accuse them of lying....so much for everyone believing them. And, by the way, it's not just women making accusations or did you fall asleep during the whole Kevin Spacey thing?

I have a feeling there is many a sexaholic on DL.

“we now live an irrational, hysterical society where any woman can accuse any man of rape at any time in the past.. and her word alone is enough to convict that man in the public eye."

You mean like the dozens of women accusing Bill Cosby? Many people still think they are all lying.

R23 I think that was in reference to the one-offs not the Cosby, Weinstein, Trump situations. No one is in doubt about Harvey in general.

I have a feeling Douglas knows more shit is coming, I find it strange he would make this statement based on one accusatiion.

I never found him attractive. Handsome I suppose but oddly sexless. Ironic considreing he was a sex addict.

It's ironic that Michael Douglas had a lot of sex because YOU never found him attractive?

R25 why wouldn't he? He's definitely seen what has happened to other famous men. It only takes one accusation to ruin a career. So unfortunately even though I love Michael as an Actor, his career is done now because of this.

[quote]R14 I'm not too sure what could be said that isn't already "forgiven". Everybody knows and accepts he hit on anything that moved.

But...noting a star dropped off the radar and went to Promises Sex Rehab (or whatever that Meadow Path place is that Weinstein and Spacey went to) for a month is different han actually hearing details as to what he may have subjected women to during his problem times.

I don't have an opinion either way about this yet...but I don't think he's been totally "forgiven" by the public for the past, because there's a lot they've never been told...

Was that why he wasn't shown at the Golden Globes?

R26 you probably think that because he is 100% straight. He has no bi/gay vibe at all, even as Liberace.

Wasnt he gay?

[quote]R28 It only takes one accusation to ruin a career. So unfortunately even though I love Michael as an Actor, his career is done now because of this.

Is Dustin Hoffman's career "done"? He's had 3 accusers step forward, I think.

I don't get the sense someone's professionally finished just because there's an accusation.

"It only takes one accusation to ruin a career."

Except you can't give an example of anyone whose career was ruined because of one accusation. Roman Polanski is a convicted child abuser and still has a career.

His career is not done. Let’s face it: he is WAY past his prime anyways.

R34 Polanski probably will not work in America again and his issue was pre-#metoo. Things have changed

If memory serves me right, I believe Cathy made arrangements months ago for sanctuary in the DL Fallout Shelter. It's all coming together now, that is her then haste for arranging especially luxurious accommodations in our lovely sanctuary. Smart girl.

Never liked him

He looks like Bill Clinton now

He looks 143

R39 RU kidding? Bill Clinton could pass for his grandchild. R27 Being a sex addict does not make one sexy.

Bill Clinton could pass for his grandchild.

😂

I never found him sexy or handsome

R41 is really such a moron? I can't believe how stupid people are on this site.

Yeah, men's careers are destroyed because of one accusation.....that's why Donald Trump was elected president after MANY women accused him.

Wasn’t he a known dog anyway? CZJ used to have a clause in their marriage contract that she got $1M cash when he cheated.

Young Bill Clinton. A verified sexual harasser.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that family

R45 unfortunately in that instance Government is not a corporation.

He’s almost 80. What is he supposed to look like?

R47 Mike, he still looks younger than you.

In all my 32 years, I have never heard accusations as ridiculous as the ones against my husband.

I'm 100% pro Douglas on this one. I hope most of the people posting on this thread are not gay men. It was not too long ago when we were being accused of corrupting people just by being around them. The hysteria is literally reaching that level of ridiculousness now.

R53 great comparison! "The NASTY, SEXUALLY DEVIANT MAN made me feel gross!"

We need to empower women to go to the police immediately and get a rape kit or report what has happened, not wait 30 years to go to TMZ.

[quote]R53 The hysteria is literally reaching that level of ridiculousness now.

Discussion is not hysteria.

You speak too broadly...

I grew up during the “Red Scare,” when careers were lost over political affiliations. But all this needs is one woman’s accusation. A real witch hunt. All they need do is make publicity, and men scatter.

Curiously, many of the accused are over-the-hill anyway. Apart from Spacey, whose behavior was so blatant even I heard about it, I haven’t heard of many younger men in the spotlight. (And what’s going on with Bryan Singer lately?)

And the music industry has been relatively quiet. Why is that? Money can talk in lots of ways.

The goys are out to get him.

Nah, he's good.

Is that why they wheeled dad onstage one last time?

Statements like these are absolutely not true. TJ Miller is accused of violently raping a girl in college and Deadpool producers are standing by him.

Let's not forget that Michael Douglas has been to rehab quite a few times for sexual addiction

[quote]TJ Miller is accused of violently raping a girl in college and Deadpool producers are standing by him.

That's because his name is not TJ Milstein.

What r25 said. And that he's dragging in his children this early in the game to drum up public sympathy and support for an accusation. A bit for of hysteria for a mere reportedly unfounded accusation I think.

I think there's more to come.

Michael is morphing into Kirk and the face lift is very lesbifying.

I'd kill myself before I'd ever end up looking like current day Kirk Douglas.

Like father like son!

Is this why he missed the Globes?

Kirk had the worst plastic surgery done., my god.

Michael is one of my favorite actors. Let’s see how this plays out...

Kirk looks better than Natalie Wood.

Coincidence, r66? It didn't make sense why Michael Douglas would miss such a big occasion. Now.......maybe it becomes clearer.

Gosh maybe he's telling the truth. I'm the most cynical person I know but maybe he is telling the truth. My last boss was a sex addict but he never hit on the women who worked for him. He fucked every chick on his beach volleyball team though, including his wife.

Sex addicts don't usually force women to have sex with them. They are far more likely to have sex with willing but inappropriate women. Hookers and strippers, same sex dalliances or groups. I believe Michael Douglas too. The lack of critical thinking about this #MeToo issue has turned reason and measure into something very fuzzy and imprecise. Being a pussy hound doesn't necessarily make anyone a predator. Cheaters are not criminals either. Just one accusation and you're guilty and gone. Douglass is an easy target.

His father on the other hand....if corpses could talk.

Will they ever talk about Kirk?

r31 Yes and he doesn't come from an environment where a lot of child abuse happened. Dl is so uncritical and unenlightening, so tired of it.

Critical thinking is the new victim blaming.

The truth is we know very little about any of these people apart from general rumors about their sex lives.

Michael Douglas is obviously getting good legal advice. Otherwise he wouldn't be saying a word.

[quote]The truth is we know very little about any of these people apart from general rumors about their sex lives.

Doesn't matter!! Fuck 'em!! Off with their heads!!!

He's already admitted to sex addiction, so ... i'm gonna guess hu$h money is involved for something rapey he did.

#LikeFatherLikeSon

She probably walked in on him having phone sex in his lounge room with his dick out.

[quote]That's because his name is not TJ Milstein.

As though Miller weren't a Jewish name!

I did not know that woman - Anne Frank.

CZJ is a whore

Whore Catherine Zeta-Jones with producer Harvey Weinstein at a party at the Hyde Park

[quote]#LikeFatherLikeSon

See that’s shit pisses me off.

[quote]CZJ is a whore

That too.

Grow the fuck up.

Michael Douglas has a lifelong reputation of being a major raging arrogant asshole. And why not? He was born into one of Hollywood's first families. From day one of his life, he has held a privileged place there. He was born with promise and realized that promise.

Entitlement is a way of life for that one. And if he wants your pussy, he expects he can have it.

Yes, if the ball starts rolling on this one, it will never stop.

Now that Mike Douglas is getting it, let's hope that other talk show host Merv gets his too.

in pic one, our beloved CZJ's body language is clearly repulsed by Harv and she is angling away from him for safety. in pic 2, she plaes her oscar between them to create a barrier (and weapon if need be). try harder.

A woman claimed the actor masturbated in front of her 32 years ago.

Another faked historical sex-assault story from another closet-gay actor, Michael Douglas, in attempt to Heterosexualise

In his films he is always so over the top in the sex scenes he doesn't know how to act heterosexual not a good actor at all

Michael Douglas is actually gay? Now I've heard everything. There's no way that man doesn't enjoy sex with women. He's screwed up his life too many times letting his dick lead him around to doubt that he loves pussy.

Now, has he done dudes,too? Possibly. Maybe even probably. That would make him bi, not gay.

Michael Douglas is ruthless and is willing to employ vicious tactics to protect himself. One example is that he brutally attacked the reputation of his ex-wife Diandra in order to get mercy in court for his drug-addled son Cameron. He solicited an extensive letter-writing campaign where people wrote letters to the judge imploring him to have mercy on Cameron because Diandra was such a negligent mother. It was a heavy PR campaign.

Several years earlier, druggie Cameron was involved in an incident where he drove a car with a Secret Service agent hanging off the hood of the car. That was such a serious offense that would have resulted in prison for a normal person, but Michael was able to arrange that no charges were filed and all records were scrubbed from the public record.

I knew someone who attended Georgetown University in the 1970s when Diandra was there. He said she was incredibly beautiful, and floated through life as though she was a fairy princess.

Are there any decent straight men out there??? Jesus, I think only my father is the only straight man I trust.

seeking the extrajudicial punishment of men through he said/she said accusations of sex crimes in the media instead of the justice system is immoral, regressive, medieval and wrong.

the court of public opinion is not a court of law. accusations are not convictions.

and the media sure as hell ain't a justice system.

R94, this is the result of Hollywood recruiting a very specific personality type. Hollywood talks about talent and creativity but the town has been always run by predators who are drawn to recruiting people like themselves. Decent, sensitive types need not apply.

Kirk Douglas kisses his son during a tribute dinner where Douglas junior collected the Humanitarian Award in Beverly Hills in 2001.

🤢

he did it of course!

R97, that pic is ewwww. puke!

so that throat cancer was karma?

Some bitch complaining that he scratched her cunt flaps with his teeth? Probably nobody else would eat her out.

I read Joe Eszterhas' memoir. His stories about Michael Douglas and his ridiculous ego and behavior during Basic Instinct is incredible. I had always liked Douglas until reading it. At the time he was the highest paid actor in the world and could barely fit his head in a doorway, such was his ego.

Told that "Mike is a very smart guy" before a meeting, Eszterhas said after the meeting "Mike is a very dumb guy, actually."

....

So this woman is a lesbian?

Sharon came out as bi but I think she's a lesbian

Fake News he never sexually harassed any woman

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R105 she jerked him 3 times but then wanted to take it slow because he didn't pick up on her non-verbal cues. After 30 years she has rescinded her consent.

R85.

R101, of course he's a dumb guy. Just another instance where Hollywood anoints some random idiot a "genius" and pays them a massive salary. It's all hype.

sharon stone sucked Joe Eszterhas cock.

Michael Douglas is ugly

[quote] the music industry has been relatively quiet. Why is that?

I am really surprised but maybe the groupies figure it was part of the game? I did hear some stirring about Don Henley but nothing came of it.

[quote]R95 the court of public opinion is not a court of law. accusations are not convictions.

Exactly. So, what are you pissed about, exactly? NO ONE'S BEEN JAILED.

Did you expect no one to have an opinion about O.J. Simpson until the courts had spoken?

Michael Douglas always seemed evil to me. So does czj

Today.

I think it’s time for men to start outing women for everything bad they’ve done to us.

Metoo seems less about assault and more of a male bashing gripe fest.

Time’s up ladies.

It’s out turn to complain about the opposite sex since that’s all this has become.....

Braudy says Douglas masturbated in front of her.

'He slid down to the floor, unbuckled his belt, put his hands inside his trousers and I could see what he was going. And then he began to sort of fondle himself and I was very scared,' she told the Today show on Friday.

'One of my friends said, "You better not tell people about him." People were frightened for me,' she said.

---------------------

But I gather he didn't actually meet the Elaine Benes criteria.

Which Joe Eszterhas memoir is that, r101? Thanks.

Seth MacFarlane and the LA Gay Men's Chorus need to make a return appearance at the Oscars with a follow-up song called "We Told You So."

Jesus. He looks like his father's brother.

R116 so you think men should be free to masturbate in front of uninterested people?

kinda

and women can too

R122 your honesty is appreciated.

i once saw a pic of michael douglas after a face lift, his stitches were still visible.

All I know is that is one UNFLATTERING photo of Michael. Yeeesh! How about a warning next time?

r116 is forgetting about all the men who've come forward with stories like the Spacey and Singer victims....

Comprehension problem R127: thats not what R116 said. He said the lecherous WOMEN. Not more men talking about more men. Those victims of Spacey and Singer werent talking about WOMEN: and theyre out there. Understand now?

CZJ seems like a hard woman, she was aware he was a sex addict.

they ALL were

[quote]R116 Time’s up ladies. It’s out turn to complain about the opposite sex since that’s all this has become.....

Oh, you mean it'll be just another average day?

When DON'T men bitch about women??

Im sympathetic to BOTH sides.

But youre right R131
