It's not what it looked like.
Ben Affleck came under fire yesterday when an old 2004 interview with Canadian TV host Anne-Marie Losique seemed to show him acting sexually inappropriately, but Losique just spoke out in defense of the actor, and claims the clip is being misinterpreted.
"It has been blown out of proportion. I know that people like fishing for anything, but this is completely out of context. I would like this to not have any negative impact on him. I find it sad," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
"This was for the camera. You have to understand that we have done dozens and dozens of interviews like that. It was for a show I was producing, so I was not at all a victim. When the cameras rolled, we would start to do that game. As soon as it stopped rolling, there was none of that. He never touched me in any improper way. He was very respectful, I must say," she added.
