The New York Times shook Hollywood last week with an article filled with accusations of sexual harassment against film producer icon Harvey Weinstein.
Many celebrities involved in his films have subsequently come out with statements against Weinstein. Now, an article in The New Yorker published on Tuesday which details RAPE allegations against Weinstein, has prompted Ben Affleck to made a statement.
Affleck wrote on his official Facebook page: "I am 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. The additional allegations of assault that I read this morning made me sick. This is completely unacceptable, and I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn?t happen to others. We need to do better at protecting our sisters, friends, co-workers and daughters. We must 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."
