Oscar Award-winning actor and director Ben Affleck is also being accused of groping another young Hollywood actress. The update involving the latest allegations being purported by a young women claiming Affleck stuck his fingers up her butt crack is on the next page. Now for Hilarie:
Hilarie Burton claims she was groped by Ben Affleck during his appearance on TRL in 2003.
The former host of the show made the shocking allegations on Tuesday night, just hours after Affleck made a statement condemning Harvey Weinstein’s alleged abusive actions in his sexual assault and harassment scandal.
In it he said he was ‘saddened and angry’ over the ‘sickening’ claims.
Affleck’s statement was quickly slammed by a number of people – including Rose McGowan who called Affleck a liar.
When a fan tweeted that Affleck might as well have ‘kept quiet,’ another Twitter user wrote: ‘He also grabbed Hilarie Burton’s breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though.’
The One Tree Hill Star then surprised the Twitter thread by interjecting with: ‘I didn’t forget.’
The drama! Ben Affleck comes out and condemns his mentor Harvey Weinstein’s treatment of women. Another person points out his own track record is less than stellar and that he acted inappropriately on camera years ago. The lady he arguably harassed speaks-up and says “I didn’t forget”.
I didn't forget.

I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize

And this apology appears BECAUSE HE DOSN’T WANT TO SUFFER THE SAME PUBLIC FATE AS HIS MENTOR.
Nothing says I’m really sorry like a quick Tweet.
