The Ben Affleck Mainstream Clip. Oi!

[IrvingKrebb]

The Harvey Weinstein news has moved to Ben Affleck. Specifically, the clip that's been posted here of him tickling/attacking an interviewer in Montreal, has come under scrutiny. Vice has an article which, oddly enough, doesn't mention tickling at all. It does mention groping and grabbing her breasts. the article is Here.

If it's not consentual, it's not cool.

I agree.

She seemed to be having fun, and consenting to this "lap tickle play" interview stuff. Probably all show-biz, but her reactions seemed mostly genuine. Love giggly-hot-little-mess ticklees. Keep in mind that much of this is planned out beforehand. The producer probably told him how the show works, that he could be playful, or even she told him. Much of what we see on TV may look spontaneous, but often, it's all choreographed and scripted. The Harvey stuff was different. it was a power-play situation, with no cameras, no lights. Just a predator taking advantage of potential employees whom he knew wanted jobs.

I've got no love for Affleck (I think he's an untalented douche), but even the Canadian interviewer, Anne-Marie Losique, says that circumstance was blown way out of proportion and that she was on board with it the whole time. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...leck-interview-is-being-taken-context-1047745
