Actress Olivia Munn said that redemption is possible in the post #MeToo era, but specifically named both Ben and Casey Affleck and director Quentin Tarantino as examples of men who have not stepped back after misconduct accusations have come to light.
“There are going to be people that are hoping they can just push past it and people can just forget,” Munn told Buzzfeed Friday. “We have stuff with the Afflecks, both of them. They just keep going and hoping that no one is going to find out. We have Tarantino who admitted to abusive behavior on set and also knowing what Harvey Weinstein was doing.”
Representatives for Quentin Tarantino, Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Ben Affleck got grilled by Stephen Colbert on Thursday's Late Show.
The Justice League star showed up on the late-night program to plug his new superhero movie, but ended up having to address the sexual harassment and assault allegations against Good Will Hunting producer Harvey Weinstein as well as sexual misconduct claims made against him by actress Hilarie Burton.

Ben Affleck is putting his money where his mouth is after pledging to be “part of the solution” in fighting sexual misconduct.
The Justice League star, 45, was asked about his friend Kevin Smith’s decision to donate all future profits from Harvey Weinstein-produced films to charity, and revealed that he would be following suit on Monday.
“It’s funny that you mention that,” Affleck told Fox 5 DC. “Once Kevin suggested that, I decided to do the same thing. So any further residuals that I get from a Miramax or a Weinstein movie will go either to F.I. or to Rainn.

As Hollywood continues to reel from new and damning allegations of sexual assault, it’s time for an obvious reminder: Keep your hands to yourself. Over the weekend, actors Kevin Spacey and Adam Sandler were both accused of acting inappropriately in very different fashions, though both claims at least partially stem from the alleged perpetrator’s inability to respect another person’s personal space, both in person and in private, both passed off as a “friendly gesture” or something far more nefarious. Another person’s body isn’t yours for the taking, no matter how famous or powerful you may be.
But it’s the public nature of some of these allegations that is most damning, as a fresh wave of claims have been bolstered because of the explicitly open nature of them. They’re on video, they’re packaged as part of some giddy marketing push, and they’re now wholly impossible to ignore.

On Wednesday, makeup artist Annamarie Tendler, who is married to comedian John Mulaney, claimed that Affleck groped her during a 2014 Golden Globes party. Tendler made the accusations on Twitter, following the actor's apology to actress Hilarie Burton. Burton claimed Affleck groped her while she was a host on MTV's Total Request Live.
"I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my a** at a Golden Globes party in 2014," Tendler claimed. "He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack."
"I guess he tried to play it like he was politely moving me out of the way and oops touched my butt instead of my lower back?" she continued to claim. "Like most women in these situations I didn't say anything but I have thought a lot about what I'd say if I ever saw him again."

2017-10-12T06:33:05-07:00Tv Host Says Ben Affleck Definitely Didn't Assault Her
After Justice League star Ben Affleck spoke up in condemnation of disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein this week, Affleck found himself the target of anger online. Affleck was accused of, at best, collusion with Weinstein in covering up Weinstein's sexual assaults and, at worst, his own past sexual assaults.
Two questionable incidents from more than a dozen years ago resurfaced this week. The first, in which Affleck allegedly groped One Tree Hill star Hilarie Burton, Affleck issued a public apology for. The second, in which Affleck made sexual comments to a Canadian TV host during an interview, is being debunked by the interviewer herself.

There's more to that story about Ben Affleck getting flirty with a Canadian reporter oncamera that the internet resurfaced on Wednesday.
Shortly after Affleck was accused via Twitter of groping Hilarie Burton while she was a host on MTV's Total Request Live over 15 years ago (which he has since apologized for), fans started talking about the 45-year-old actor for another reason: his sexually suggestive interview with "Box Office" host Anne-Marie Losique in 2004.
It all came about when people on social media started calling Affleck a "hypocrite" for speaking out against his former boss, Harvey Weinstein, saying in a statement that he was "angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades."
Fans who saw the resurfaced video, which you can watch below, started to believe Affleck wasn't all that innocent himself. But when Et spoke with Losique, she told us what...
