Hilarie Burton confirmed in a tweet she was groped by actor and movie producer Ben Affleck. According to The Daily Beast, the shocking tweet comes in the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged three decades of assault and harassment of actresses.
According to Hilarie –who shared a video in which she talks about the incident –it took place over a decade ago when she worked as a host for TRL. In the footage, she says Affleck was a guest on the popular TV show back in 2003. She can be heard saying on a clip of MTV TRL Uncensored:
“He comes over and tweaks my left boob.”
At the time, Hilarie who was only 21-years-old said she had to “laugh back then so” she “wouldn’t cry.”
Hilarie spoke up praising the women who have come forward in denouncing Weinstein. Her tweet was a reply to a social media user who remembered Burton had been groped by Affleck saying
“He also grabbed Hilarie Burton’s breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though.”
The Twitter user had jumped in conversation after a fan tweeted that Affleck might as well have “kept quiet;” this, due to Rose McGowan’s response to Affleck’s recent statement about Harvey’s fall of grace.
