When asked on Armchair if he was a supporter of the #MeToo movement, Affleck claimed to love women. In December 2008, Amanda White accused Affleck of 'attempting to manipulate her into sharing a hotel room with him.' When she refused, 'he grabbed her threateningly and attempted to scare her into submission.' His statements on Armchair were similar to his initial address in 2018, wherein he first called the allegations 'unprofessional' rather than admitting to his own internalized misogyny. 'I had never had any complaints like that made about me before in my life and it was really embarrassing and I didn't know how to handle it.' 'I wish I had found a way to resolve things in a different way.

The film is set for release this Friday, exactly one year after Affleck first responded to the allegations. Now, Shepard is facing extensive backlash from his fanbase after sympathizing with Affleck, who received disturbing allegations of sexual harassment that plagued his 2018 Oscar Nomination for 'Best Actor.' The 43-year-old actor additionally took time on the podcast to promote his new film, Light of My Life––a post-pandemic drama about a father and daughter that's coincidentally set in a world without women.
