Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones Deny They're Boycotting CNN After Son Dylan's Debate with Scott Jennings
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are denying a report that they are “fuming at CNN” and planning on boycotting the network.
The couple’s son Dylan Douglas, 25, appeared in a round table debate on CNN NewsNight last month and got into a heated discussion with conservative commentator Scott Jennings.
Dylan is the host of SiriusXM’s “Young American with Dylan Douglas.”
In a new interview, Scott actually said that “Dylan was probably OK with how everything went” and added that he “was actually really nice off the air.”
Now, a rep for Michael and Catherine is responding to the reports that they are upset with the network.

“The rumor that Catherine and Michael are boycotting CNN is news to them,” a representative told EW. “They support accurate reporting, which this rumor isn’t.”
Dylan is also responding to Scott‘s new comments.
“I was Surprised and slightly flattered, that Scott Jennings still cared so much about our conversation three weeks after it happened,” he said. “I heard so many nasty things about the guy before going on the show, but in person found him to be very pleasant. The fact that almost a month later, he’s attacking me on who my parents are, rather than the differences we have politically, is disappointing. I understand he just released a book, maybe this is part of his promotional effort? Regardless I wish him and his book well.”
It was announced earlier this year that Dylan would be making his acting debut in a new movie.
