Hours after Ben Affleck said he was "saddened and angry" over allegations that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein raped and sexually harassed women over decades, Affleck was accused of groping actress Hilarie Burton.

Affleck wrote Tuesday that the news about the man who helped create his career "made me sick" and that we must "condemn this type of behavior when we see it."

A fan accused Affleck of similar behavior tweeting, "[Affleck] also grabbed Hilarie Burton's breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though."

Burton chimed in tweeting, "I didn't forget." Her husband, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, played the father of Ben Affleck's character in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

The fan wrote back, "I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s infuriating that people never bring up all the gross, predatory things he's done."

Burton thanked the fan for speaking up adding "I was a kid" when Affleck grabbed her breast during a 2003 "TRL" appearance.

A rep for Affleck did not return Fox News' request for comment.

Actress Rose McGowan, is among the women accusing Weinstein, also blasted Affleck calling him a liar and claiming the actor knew of Weinstein's behavior but remained silent.

"@benaffleck '[bleep] I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT' you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie," McGowan tweeted.

Casey Affleck made headlines earlier this year after reports of two women filing lawsuits against him for sexual assault on the set of the 2009 film "I'm Still Here." Both suits were settled out of court.

Hmmmmm, so a paycheck was more important than her supposed honor.

What "her honor"? He grabbed her. How does that make her less than honorable?

And if she went public what would happen? If anybody covered it the story would be forgotten as soon as it appeared.

What I mean is the husband chose to collect a paycheck even though it meant working with the guy who allegedly wronged his wife.

Is there any difference in the above? The gap narrows daily.

Somewhere in this article they could break out “TRL” for us non-MTV folks.

TRL = Total Request Live.

“Nicole Eggert and Ally Sheedy hit the wall harder than Alf.”

Ally Sheedy: At best...ok. Now, ick.
Nicole Eggert: Back in the day...oh, yeah. Now...uhh, wha-?
Alf: “No problem!”. The puppet does look better than the two above.
