This includes McGowan?s response to an official statement issued by Affleck?s Facebook page, in which the Good Will Hunting actor said he was ?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.? Calling the ?additional allegations? against Weinstein ?completely unacceptable,? Affleck said we ?need to do better at protecting our sisters, friends, co-workers and daughters? 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.?
As righteous as Affleck?s comments appear, however, McGowan said he wasn?t being entirely honest. According to her tweet, the actor allegedly exclaimed, ?GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT? when she told him what had happened at a press conference they both attended. ?[Y]ou said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault,? she concluded. ?You lie.?
