Dustin’s out on the town

-

DUSTIN Hoffman and his wife present a united front in his first public appearance since being accused of sexual misconduct by two women.

The actor, 80, and wife Lisa, 63, attended a Los Angeles awards night on Saturday.

He apologised for his past behaviour after writer Anna Graham Hunter said he groped her in 1985 when she was 17.

And producer Wendy Riss Gatsiounis claimed the Oscar winner propositio­ned her at work in 1991.

In the latest twist to the Hollywood sex scandal, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, 32, is refusing to sign up to a sequel if producer Brett Ratner, 48, has any involvemen­t.

Ratner’s company helped make, and profited from, the first Wonder Woman film. He was initially accused by six women, including actress Olivia Munn, of sexual harassment and, by a seventh, of rape. His lawyer has denied the claims.

Reports in the US say a further 40 women have come forward accusing him sexual impropriet­y towards them.
