NEW YORK — A woman who worked for Michael Douglas in the late 1980s says he fondled himself in front of her — an allegation the actor has vigorously denied.
Susan Braudy appeared Friday on NBC's Today show.
Braudy, a journalist and author, said the actor unbuckled his belt, put his hand into his trousers and fondled himself in her presence. She said a friend later cautioned her not to tell anyone.
Douglas, a two-time Oscar winner, told Deadline earlier this month that he anticipated a coming report would contain an allegation by a former employee that he acted inappropriately in front of her about 32 years ago. He called it a "complete lie, fabrication." He said his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, "has been very supportive."
Douglas' publicist said he would have no further comment.
