Catherine Zeta-Jones Responds to Michael Douglas' Statement Denying Pending Allegations

Catherine Zeta-Jones sits next to her co-star Juan Pablo Espinosa at the Cocaine Godmother panel during the A+E Networks’ 2018 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour on Sunday (January 14) in Pasadena, Calif.

Last week, Catherine‘s husband Michael Douglas released a statement after hearing about pending allegations that would be revealed against him by a former female employee.

At the event, Catherine was asked about Michael‘s decision to release the statement early.

“My reaction was that as two people who have been in this business — him longer than me — was that we support ‘Me Too’ and the movement more than anybody, anybody — me as a woman, him as a man. And there was no other way than to be preemptive in a story that had to be watched. He did a statement, he did it. I think it’s very clear the way that he stands. I cannot elaborate on something that’s so very personal to him,” Catherine said (via ET).

“We’re seeing changes that have taken many years to even be talked about. It’s an amazing time for women, and I really want women to remember how strong we are in numbers. This is going to die down. This is not going to be at the forefront of everyone’s mind forever and ever and we’re going to have to be kind to each other. We can’t ask everyone else to be kind to us unless we’re kind to each other,” she continued.
