The incident of Ben Affleck's groping act on Hilarie Burton surfaced soon after the Academy Award-winning actor condemned Harvey Weinstein and the sexual allegations he committed.

Ben Affleck's flirtatious behavior with Anne-Marie Losique
Another video of Ben Affleck has re-emerged recently and it features the actor touching reporter Anne-Marie Losique's private parts, and asking her to go topless for a film.
"You usually show a lot more cleavage than this. What's the story? Why are you covering up today?" says Affleck in the video.
As the video is now going viral, Anne-Marie Losique has openly come forward and has extended her support to Ben Affleck. Losique, in an exclusive interview with E!News, said Affleck has done nothing wrong and nothing improper has happened between them.
" I sat on his lap but it was all fun and games for the cameras. Nothing improper ever happened. As soon as the cameras stopped rolling, we would [walk] out because you know on junket days where they do interviews after interviews after interviews, so it was just a little fun moment," said Losique, reports E!News.
In another interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Losique said that there were more than 20 people in the room during the time of interview.
