Douglas recounted attending a Golden Globes party where he encountered Roberts, who had come with her then-boyfriend Sutherland. He had brought his son, Cameron, around 13 years old at the time, and claimed that Roberts placed her arm around him. In a drunken state, he confronted her, demanding she remove her hands from his son and suggesting she stick the Golden Globe where the sun don’t shine. His producing partner later told him he had overstepped with one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses.
