The divorce came with a lot of negative criticisms toward former Mrs. Douglas. Apparently, Luker demanded a huge amount of $45 million dollars from her ex-spouse as alimony. The general people didn’t like her behavior and called Diandra greedy. This unfortunate incident was also fired up by Douglas’s recent diagnosis of throat cancer at the time.

However, according to Luker, the Wall Street actor was in very good health when she initially asked for the money. In an interview, she said,

“Michael didn’t know he was ill, I didn’t know he was ill, and the gods didn’t know he was ill. I am not into going after sick people for things that don’t belong to me.”

Regardless, it has been 22 years since their separation. The former couple has already moved on with their lives, so there’s no point for us to dig deep into this.
