A former employee of American actor and producer Michael Douglas has accused him of sexual harassment, after he issued a pre‑emptive denial of the claims.

Author and journalist Susan Braudy says Douglas's alleged treatment left her feeling humiliated.

The Hollywood star responded saying this is a complete lie, fabrication, no truth in it whatsoever.

Douglas says he feels the need to get ahead of the situation and share his concerns about the nightmare scenario.

Braudy worked for Douglas's company Stonebridge Productions in the late 1980s.

She claims he used sexual language in front of her, including openly discussing extra‑marital affairs, while she was running the firm's New York office.

Douglas says he prides on his reputation in this business, not to mention the long history of his father and everything else.

He also claimed there is no evidence against him and he feared that such accusations could set back the #MeToo movement that has grown in the wake of the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal.
