After One Tree Hill actress Hilarie Burton accused Ben Affleck of inappropriately grabbing her chest during an episode of MTV’s TRL back in 2003, makeup artist Annamarie Tendler accused the Justice League actor of inappropriately grabbing her butt.
Ben Affleck issued an apology on Twitter to Burton, but Annamarie Tendler is wondering why she didn’t get one as well. Tendler wrote, “I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014.”
I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014.

He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack.

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.

Parks and Recreation and Lady Dynamite writer Jen Statsky indicated she was at the same Golden Globes party and heard similar stories about Ben Affleck from other party-goers.
I was also at this party and *multiple* friends had this same exact experience. https://t.co/GlSIllKqAJ

Many on Twitter have taken to calling Affleck, “Buttman” as a pun on the Batman character he portrays in Justice League and previously in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
From Batman to Buttman…
