Reply to comment by HopeDeferred in Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea gave one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. by Apprehensive_Unit_74

Nobody claimed sexual abuse from Casey Affleck. Don’t normalize making shit up.

Harassment is a far cry from sexual abuse. Is the same difference between calling a person a name and punching them.

Also, other cast and crew members defend him. So, the jury is out, and likely will always be.

White's original allegations included claims that Affleck hired transvestite prostitutes "for his personal gratification" during filming, referred to women as "cows", manhandled her when she rejected his sexual advances and instructed a camera operator to flash his genitals at her on several occasions. Gorka claimed she was subjected to a "near daily barrage of sexual comments, innuendo and unwelcome advances" by crew members, encouraged by Affleck.

While you’re technically correct that I didn’t know the apparent legal differences between abuse, assault, and harassment, my point stands.
