In a tweet, Affleck shared a statement on the allegations, which he says have “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,” Affleck’s statement read.
Affleck has had a long working relationship with Weinstein, who helped to launch the actor’s career in films like Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, for which Affleck won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay with co-star and writer Matt Damon.
