Affleck has yet to address these allegations, though he tweeted an apology to Burton for the 2003 incident Thursday morning. "I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize," he wrote. Previously, Burton had tweeted that she "didn't forget" Affleck's touching her during a TRL interview, along with a compilation of clips purporting to reference the assault, in response to a Twitter user who recalled the incident.

"Girls. I'm so impressed with you brave ones. I had to laugh back then so I wouldn't cry. Sending love," she tweeted with a link to the videos.

Both allegations come days after Affleck tweeted a statement condemning Weinstein's decades of alleged sexual misconduct, which were detailed in exposés published by both The New York Times and The New Yorker.

"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,” he wrote on Tuesday, before saying that the accusations made him "sick."
