CASEY AFFLECK TALKS #METOO: Casey Affleck is here for the #MeToo movement, but has often stayed quiet because of sexual harassment allegations against him. On Dax Shepard‘s “Armchair Expert” podcast, he said: “The way I’m thought of, sometimes, by certain people recently has just been so antithetical to who I really am, that it’s just been frustrating. And not being able to talk about it has been hard because I really wanted to support all but I felt like the best thing to do was to just be quiet, so that I didn’t seem to be in opposition to something that I really wanted to champion.” Producer Amanda White filed a $2 million suit against him, claiming Affleck harassed her; cinematographer Magdalena Gorka also sued him for $2.25 million. He denied the allegations and settled both suits for undisclosed amounts. Affleck is currently promoting Light of My Life, which was inspired by #MeToo.

JON VOIGHT SAYS RACISM HAS BEEN SOLVED: In a new Twitter video, Jon Voight says that racism was “solved long ago.” The 80-year-old then went on, criticizing those who question President Donald Trump‘s approach to race relations. He said: “It seems that the angered left and angered minorities want to hold President Trump accountable for past lives. You see, we have been gifted with truth and, as I see it, anger is among the old chains that were binding to the people of slavery, old wounds that still seem fresh.” He then invoked the Holocaust: “Let me talk about old wounds: the Holocaust. That, my friends, are wounds that live among the Jewish and non-Jewish that lost lives. But this is not about color, race, religion. This is the United States of America, a nation built on trust and liberty.”
