Casey Affleck Sued for Sexual Harassment!

Casey Affleck is getting sued by a former producer!

PopEater reports Amanda White, who co produced last year, has asked for $2 million. She is claiming that Affleck, who directed the documentary film I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix, on the antics of actor Joaquin Phoenix, repeatedly sexually harassed her and tried to get her to spend a night in his hotel room. She filed suit on Friday in Los Angeles.

White’s suit alleges Affleck didn’t pay her either, and that he made degrading comments against other women on set. E! Online reported that White claimed Affleck hired prostitutes in Las Vegas for a scene that was never cut, supposedly because he wanted them for his own entertainment. She also allegedly found herself unable to use her room for a night shooting on location in Costa Rica because it was already occupied: Affleck and Phoenix had commandeered it and had two women in there.

Phoenix is Affleck’s brother-in-law.

Not surprisingly, Michael J. Plonsky, Affleck’s attorney, said the suit was “preposterous and without merit.” Plonsky added that the plaintiff was simply a disgruntled ex-employee.

“Ms. White was terminated from the production over a year ago,” Plonsky said. “She and her lawyers believe that this maliciously and erroneously filed complaint will cause the producers to succumb to her outrageous and baseless demands. She is mistaken."

Affleck is planning to countersue, Plonsky confirmed.
