Michael Douglas Cancer Didn't Come From Oral Sex With Ex-Wife Says Diandra Douglas [Video]

Michael Douglas told The Guardian over the weekend his throat cancer was the result of oral sex involving women with STD's. His ex-wife, Diandra Douglas, came out today to say she never had the HPV sexually transmitted disease.

Douglas divorced Diandra Douglas in 2000 for what is believed to be one of the largest divorce settlements in history at the time: $45 million.

Douglas quickly remarried to star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, in the same year and the couple have had two kids in the mean time.

Diandra and Michael were back in court a couple years ago for their son, Cameron, who was on trial for drugs. The embattled child of the hollywood couple, Cameron is currently serving a five year prison sentence after knowingly dealing drugs despite his background.

Diandra and Michael also fought about his earnings from Wall Street 2, which Douglas starred in with Shia Lebouf, and which also featured the return of the director of the first Wall Street, Oliver Stone.

Diandra believed the terms of her divorce entitled her to the earnings from Wall Street 2, but because the film hadn't even been conceived of until after he divorce from Michael Douglas, she was awarded no profits or salary that was given to Michael Douglas for the film.

But Diandra has not taken kindly to the suggestion, by Michael Douglas, that his cancer was the result of oral sex performed on women who had the sexually transmitted diseaseL HPV, which does not show in a man, but can lead to ovarian cancer in women.

Despite it not showing in men, they can act as carriers of the disease, and it does affect women.

But if men perform oral sex on women with HPV, it does increase the risk of oral cancers like the throat cancer Douglas fought off two years ago.

Said Douglas in the now-viral interview with the Guardian this weekend, his throat cancer was "caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus."

Diandra Douglas told TMZ today she does not have HPV.
