Second Woman Accuses Casey Affleck of Sexual Harassment

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 30th 2010 09:36PM

Things are not looking up for Casey Affleck. A second woman who worked with Affleck on his Joaquin Phoenix documentary is claiming sexual harassment, The Hollywood Reporter reports. Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka alleges that while filming the documentary, Affleck climbed into bed with her and groped her while she was sleeping. She is suing for $2.25 million.

Amanda White, a producer on the same documentary, filed a similar lawsuit last week alleging Affleck engaged in inappropriate behavior. Both women left the film after said incidents and claim Affleck refused to pay them for their completed work.

A rep for Affleck said a statement is forthcoming that will address the new allegations. Over the weekend, Affleck vehemently denied White's accusations and threatened to countersue her.

In the new lawsuit, Gorka says it was decided that instead of staying in hotels during filming, the crew would sleep at Phoenix's house. Phoenix offered Groka his bed and said he'd sleep on the couch.

"During the middle of the night, [Gorka] awoke to find Affleck lying in the bed next to her," the lawsuit alleges. "Unbeknownst to [Gorka], Affleck had entered the bedroom while she was asleep and crawled into the bed. When she woke up, Affleck was curled up next to her in the bed wearing only his underwear and a t-shirt. He had his arm around her, was caressing her back, his face was within inches of hers and his breath reeked of alcohol."

Gorka also claims she, "was berated and verbally attacked by Affleck after she refused his sexual advances in New York, and was criticized constantly for refusing to be submissive in response to his rants and derisive comments."

After she left the project, Affleck refused to pay her their verbally agreed upon fee. She also said she's been stripped of the Director of Photography credit on the film.

Gorka is suing the actor and the production company for intentional infliction of emotional distress, constructive discharge in violation of public policy, breach of oral contract, negligent infliction of emotional distress, unjust enrichment and negligence.

The documentary, 'I'm Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix,' is schedule to be released this fall.

Gee, sounds just like the liberal group attacking George Bush every time someone caught a cold.

Sounds like another fabricated accusation. Women, nowadays, are opting to make money the new fashion way: Not earned.

AND,men are always trying to force their p.... into something.
Having been molested by two different men before the age of 10 and stalked by one later in life I can speak from experience. I never did anything to cause these things. In fact, I have always been snobbish toward men. Married to the same on for 55 years now.
On every job I worked over the years there was at least one man who just could not take no for an answer. Had to file charges with the union on one of them. Got his attention.
You are sexist! And you are surely male or are you?

Sadly there are many thousands of freaks out there, ranging from janitors to movie celebrities, both male and female. These people impose themselves on unwilling victims more openly before since the slipping of ethics and morality. Humanity has some very dark facets.

And sadly there are just as many liars out to score a big payday
