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.
In other news, popcorn is suddenly in short supply.
Once upon a time groping was reacted to by a sharp slap on the face or, for more physically capable women, a fist to then nose. It wasn’t something that was a secret until politically useful.
Hilarie Burton was 21 years old in 2003 which is when she says this happened. While Affleck is still a pig if he did it, she wasn’t a “child”. She could have give him a swift kick in the nuts.
If Ashley Judd was such a “Nasty Girl” and so strong why did it take her so long to speak out against Harvey?
But Affleck is a cuck for the subversive left...thus it’s OK.
I'm Batman! https://m.popkey.co/94793a/M7eV6.gif
Wait! They weren’t supposed to be outing each other before the Russian dossier got a full hearing!!
LOL!
LOL. I need to stock up.
Oh Jeeze, Hollywood’s coming clean and outing their stars now?
What, are they going to admit that Adam Sandler isn’t, and never has been even slightly funny?
Hilarie Burton was 21 in 2003
Holy Sexual Assault, Batman!!
Hollywood people are only as old as they feel. If she says she was a kid, then she was a kid. What’s a few years between friends? Heck, we’re now defining pedophilia as relations with sexually mature individuals, so age is obviously a state of mind. For Hollywood people, that age ought to be 40 - take no chances.
Therefore, she should have kneed him in the groin.
