After getting hammered in the press, these two A+ list mostly movie actors came up with a statement they have been sharing when asked about Harvey.

At least one of them better hope some video of him at a party with Harvey doesn’t come out or his story will go to crap.

I think that is why his best friend who has swung and missed at several statements has been so on edge as of late.

Matt Damon

Ben Affleck

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Trainwreck Post-Weinstein Apology Tour

The two stars have been trying to shift the discussion about them from their connection to Weinstein to puppies and late-night feuds.

The most certain way to shift an unwanted spotlight is to provide something else for it to shine on. To this end, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck seem to be on something of an apology tour, doing their level best to pin themselves to news not at all related to how unconvincing their behavior has been in the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s downfall. Unfortunately, it’s doing nothing but drawing more attention to their hypocrisy.

Both of the actors benefited from their connections to Weinstein, and seem to be complicit in the institution that made him so powerful. Affleck’s past behavior is telling; he groped (and only just recently apologized to) actress Hilarie Burton during a 2003 MTV appearance, and took days to condemn Weinstein despite how closely they’d worked together. Then there’s the continued vaunting of his brother, Casey Affleck, the subject of multiple sexual harassment allegations. And Rose McGowan has alleged that Ben knew all about Weinstein’s behavior. “Goddamnit! I told him to stop doing that,” she claims he told her at a “press [conference] I was made to go to after [the] assault.” She added, “You lie.”

Damon, meanwhile, was accused of helping kill a 2004 story about Weinstein, though he later denied knowing the story was about sexual assault and also issued his own statement denouncing the ex-mogul’s behavior, saying, “as the father of four daughters, this is the kind of sexual predation that keeps me up at night.” On the press tour promoting Suburbicon this week, he admitted that he’d found out long ago that Weinstein had harassed Gwyneth Paltrow from Affleck, saying, “I knew that they had come to whatever, you know, agreement or understanding that they had come to, she had handled it. She was, you know, the first lady of Miramax. And he treated her incredibly respectfully always.” He also said that he’d known that Weinstein was a “womanizer,” though he hadn’t understood the extent to which Weinstein had been a predator. – Source
