At least one actress isn’t buying Ben Affleck’s denunciation of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Hilarie Burton — best known as Peyton on “One Tree Hill” — responded to someone on Twitter about Affleck’s appearance with her on MTV’s “Total Request Live” over a decade ago.
“[Affleck] also grabbed Hilarie Burton’s breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though,” said the original tweet by Shanice Brim.
Brim replied, “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
Burton, now 35 and starring on “Lethal Weapon,” answered, “Seriously, thanks for that. I was a kid.”
She also posted a one-minute Vimeo clip of TRL “uncensored.” At about the 40-second mark, Burton, talking about Affleck, tells the cameras “he comes over and tweaks my left boob.”
Burton added she “had to laugh back then so I wouldn’t cry. Sending love.”
The video shared by Burton didn’t show the moment in question with Affleck, but a brief YouTube video posted on Wednesday highlights the incident. A young Affleck is being interviewed by host Burton — who he calls “free spirited” — before he gets up and wraps his arm around her.
“Some girls like a good tweakage here and there,” she said afterwards. “I’d rather have a high five.”
The “TRL” video resurfaced after Affleck took to Facebook on Tuesday to share his disgust with Weinstein, who has been hit with multiple sexual harassment and misconduct allegations.
“I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass, and manipulate women over decades,” the “Good Will Hunting” star wrote.
Beyond Burton, the post didn’t sit well with actress Rose McGowan, who tweeted: “Ben Affleck f–k off.” She then added Affleck had told her that’d he told Weinstein to “stop doing that.” McGowan concluded with a concise “you lie.”
@benaffleck “GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT” you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie.
A Short History of Harvey Weinstein's Oscar Campaigns (Photos)
Indie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was fired last October from his position of co-CEO of The Weinstein Company, revolutionized the Oscar race both at TWC and his previous company, Miramax.
Harvey Weinstein first got into the Oscar race in a big way in 1990 with a "guerilla" campaign for the art-house drama "My Left Foot" by setting up meet-and-greets between Academy members and film talent. The result? Oscar wins for stars Daniel Day Lewis and Brenda Fricker.
Miramax snagged its first Best Picture victory for 1996's "The English Patient" -- which earned a total of nine awards, including for director Anthony Minghella and lead actress Juliette Binoche.
Weinstein built an awareness campaign for the then-unknown Billy Bob Thornton for 1996's "Sling Blade" -- which yielded an Oscar for his adapted screenplay and a nomination for Best Actor.
Miramax pulled off a double coup with 1997's "Good Will Hunting," delivering Robin Williams his long-awaited first Oscar and a rare screenplay prize for two twentysomething newbies, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
One year later, Miramax pulled out all the stops after landing two Best Picture nominations, including for the Italian-language drama "Life Is Beautiful." According to Peter Biskind's book "Down and Dirty Pictures," star-auteur Roberto Begnini "moved into L.A. for a month during the peak of the voting period." The film came away with three Oscars, including Best Actor.
That year, Miramax pulled off a bigger upset when "Shakespeare in Love" seized Best Picture over Steven Spielberg's heavily favored "Saving Private Ryan." "Shakespeare" won a total of seven Academy Awards, including for actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Judi Dench.
Miramax surprised many by landing yet another Best Picture nomination for the 2000 Juliette Binoche-Johnny Depp bonbon "Chocolat."
In 2003, the Weinsteins had a hand in four of the five Best Picture nominees: "Chicago," "The Hours," "Gangs of New York" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (on which they had producer credits). "Chicago" won the top prize -- as well as five others.
In 2004, Miramax took advantage of a careful reading of Academy rules and scored four nominations for the Brazilian inner-city drama "City of God" -- even though the film had failed to land a Best Foreign Language film nomination the previous year.
The Weinsteins exited Disney-owned Miramax and founded their own company in 2005 -- and got right back in the Oscar race with two nominations for one of their first releases, the Felicity Huffman vehicle "Transamerica."
By 2009, The Weinstein Company landed its first Best Picture contender with "The Reader" -- and also snagged Kate Winslet her first Oscar as Best Actress in a role that many thought was more of a supporting part.
Two years later, TWC scored its first Best Picture win for "The King's Speech" -- as well as three other awards, including Best Actor for Colin Firth.
The following year, Weinstein pulled off another coup: landing five Oscars, including Best Picture for the mostly silent, black-and-white ode to Old Hollywood, "The Artist."
In 2013, TWC again had two horses in the Best Picture race: Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" and "Silver Linings Playbook" -- which landed Jennifer Lawrence the prize for Best Actress.
Last year, Weinstein successfully landed six nominations -- including Best Picture -- for Garth Davis' tear-jerker "Lion." But just as Open Road won the top prize in 2016 for "Spotlight," another upstart, A24, used a lot of Harvey touches to score the indie "Moonlight" a Best Picture win.
