The former host of the famous show Total Request Live (TRL), Hilarie Burton, made a shocking revelation that she was groped by Ben Affleck during his appearance on TRL in 2003. According to DailyMail.co.uk, Hilarie made the allegations on Tuesday night, just hours after Affleck made a statement condemning Harvey Weinstein's alleged abusive actions in his sexual assault and harassment scandal.

When one fan tweeted that Ben should have “kept quiet,” another fan wrote, “He also grabbed Hilarie Burton‘s breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though (sic).” The incident was reportedly during the actor’s appearance on the show in 2003.

Hilarie wrote back, “I didn’t forget (sic).” To which the fan replied, “I’m so sorry that happened to you (sic).” 

“Seriously, thank you for that. I was a kid (sic),” Hilarie responded. She also tweeted a clip from TRL in which she talked about being groped by Ben. She tweeted, “Girls. I’m so impressed with you brave ones. I had to laugh back then so I wouldn’t cry. Sending love (sic).”
