Ben Affleck tweeted an apology on Wednesday after allegations surfaced that he groped a former MTV host live on the air.
Affleck joined a number of celebrities in denouncing the actions of Harvey Weistein, the longtime movie mogul, who has been accused of decades of sexual abuse and misconduct. The New Yorker and the New York Times detailed allegations against him.
After Affleck’s statement, Burton wrote, “I didn’t forget” when a Twitter user said that Affleck groped Burton on “TRL.”
“Seriously, thank you for that. I was a kid,” she wrote. “I had to laugh back then so I wouldn’t cry,” she added.
Later, make-up artist Annamarie Tendler accused Affleck of touching her inappropriately.
For his part, Affleck has yet to respond to Tendler’s allegations.
