In a sign that the controversy over the producer Harvey Weinstein could engulf other people in the film industry, the actress Rose McGowan accused Ben Affleck of lying on Tuesday about his knowledge of Mr. Weinstein’s alleged sexual harassment and assaults of women.
Ms. McGowan, in a tweet and a subsequent email exchange with The New York Times on Tuesday night, said she had told Mr. Affleck that Mr. Weinstein had behaved inappropriately with her.
Mr. Affleck, who rose to stardom with help from Mr. Weinstein on the 1997 film “Good Will Hunting,” had said earlier Tuesday that he was “angry” over Mr. Weinstein’s alleged abuse of women, but he gave no indication of whether he knew about it. “I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen to others,” Mr. Affleck said in a statement.

Looks like this is the beginning of the end....
At the very least, It will shore up popcorn futures, which were seeing a serious downturn due to current hollywood product.
Didn’t she take a payout and remain silent?
She has her own complicity in this.
Sounds like a bunch of whores calling each other sluts.
“I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen to others.”
That line is the most laughable line of bullshit (please excuse my french) that I have heard in a long time. So Ben, you knew about his behavior for 20 years, and just now you’re getting around to asking how you can make sure this doesn’t happen to others?
Hollywood is a rotten sewer, and Ben Affleck is up to his neck in it.
Jennifer Garner and Harvey Weinstein Break Bread and Talk Butter Over Dinner
Affleck’s comments are so self-serving, it’s disgusting!! This is exactly how slimebags like the Clintons speak, very carefully-worded weasel language.
Ben looked the other way about pig Weinstein, no question. And Ben is probably a groper/grabber himself, especially when he’s drunk (and he gets drunk a lot). Jennifer Garner is divorcing Ben because he can’t keep his pants zipped.
Rose McGowan has been a spokesperson for a LOT of questionable extreme positions, and at this she takes a stand? Rose baby, you are late to the game with your now moral high dudgeon.
Watching the progressive left destroy itself in such a grand fashion...what a time to be alive.
‘George Clooney has also weighed in on the controversy, telling The Daily Beast in an interview that was published Monday night that while he was aware of rumors that young actresses had slept with Mr. Weinstein to get roles, he had been unaware of any misconduct or the settlements Mr. Weinstein had reached with women’
So George, are you saying that it was your ‘impression’ that it was all consensual, or maybe you think the women were asking for it? So many Hollywierdos are using weasel words/explanations for accepting Weinstein’s behavior. And PS, could the NYT have found a more unattractive picture of Rose McGowan to accompany this article???
ROFL
the left continues to eat it’s own!
too funny.
But the real question is... how long until the left wakes from it’s stupor and realizes Bill Clinton is worse than Weinstein ? When THAT finally happens (and it will) then you will know the left has finally popped the bubble.
There are no attractive current pictures of Rose McGowan. Short shelf life. Time has not been kind. Even at her best she was quirky-attractive, not a beauty.
I will start condemning the creeps like Weinstein the second that the girls desperately trying to sleep their way to the top start being condemned.
Because the one is no better than the other. And the case could be made the one, helps cause or at least contribute to the other.
She was never an actress that I liked, but her most recent pictures are just sad.

I agree and their awards are all in question.
How many bjs did they do for them??
The casting couch has been around forever.
That’s too bad, she was hot when she was on that witch show.
