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.”

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.

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…

god I'm so disgusted and sorry this happened to you. Thank you for bringing this to light. I absolutely believe you that it was nefarious.

So gross and awful. I would totally punch him for you—no one messes with half of my favorite celebrity couple, dammit.

Will this scandal affect whether or not you go see Justice League on November 17?
