Who Is Annamarie Tendler? John Mulaney’s Wife Accuses Ben Affleck Of Groping
Former “One Tree Hill” star Hilarie Burton was apparently not the only person to be groped by Hollywood star Ben Affleck. Makeup artist Annamarie Tendler, who is married to comedian John Mulaney, claimed the “Argo” star touched her backside at a Golden Globes party in 2014. Affleck apologized to Burton, and Tendler wanted an apology too.
“He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack,” Tendler tweeted Wednesday. “I guess he tried to play it like he was politely moving me out of the way and oops touched my butt instead of my lower back?”
“Like most women in these situations I didn’t say anything but I have thought a lot about what I’d say if I ever saw him again.”
The incident with Burton resurfaced after the actor slammed the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
“I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades. The additional allegations of assault that I read this morning 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 said in a statement Tuesday. “We must support those who come forward, condemn this type of behavior when we see it and help ensure there are more women in positions of power.”
The following day, he apologized to Burton for groping her breast during an episode of MTV’s “TRL” in 2003. “I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize,” he tweeted.
Weinstein, for his part, denied the allegations against him.
