Harvey Weinstein, one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood, has been accused of sexually assaulting, harassing, threatening and even raping multiple women, including actresses Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.

In the aftermath of these explosive stories, where women have finally come on record about his behaviour, various actors who have worked with him, released statements to express their shock about this matter. One of them was Oscar winning actor and director Ben Affleck, who posted this in the wake of these allegations.

Since then, her account has been suspended by Twitter.

Another Twitter user @ShaniceBrim replied to the tweet, recalling how Ben too grabbed Hilarie Burton’s (an actress, known for her role in the show One Tree Hill) breasts many years ago.

Hilarie then replied to that tweet, stating that she didn’t forget.
