Ben Affleck Groped Hilarie Burton’s Br***ts

Back in 2017, reports about former film producer Harvey Weinstein‘s deeds shocked the world. Many celebrities came forward to condemn him including Ben Affleck who released a statement on Twitter stating,

“I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades. The additional allegations of assault that I read this morning made me sick. This is completely unacceptable, and I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen to others.

We need to do better at protecting our sisters, friends, co-workers and daughters. We must support those who come forward, condemn this type of behavior when we see it and help ensure there are more women in positions of power.”
