Amanda White, a producer on Casey Affleck's documentary "I'm Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix," has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to THR, Esq. She cites claims of lurid sexual harassment and a denial of her producing fee after she refused to spend the night with Affleck in a hotel room.
"On one occasion, Affleck instructed a crew member to take off his pants in order to show [White] his penis, even after [White] objected," the complaint alleges. "Affleck repeatedly referred to women as 'cows;' he discussed his sexual exploits and those of other celebrities that he allegedly witnessed; and asked [White], after learning her age, 'Isn't it about time you get pregnant?'" White previously worked with Casey Affleck's brother Ben Affleck when she was an assistant on "Good Will Hunting" and "Reindeer Games"
This is the third sexual harassment case in recent months. David Boreanaz has been accused of sexual harassment by "Bones" extra Kristina Hagan and Nicollette Sheridan is alleging sexual harassment from "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry. "Housewives" network ABC is vigorously denying the allegations.
[UPDATE: A representative for Casey Affleck has released this statement: "The allegations brought upon our clients are preposterous and without merit. Ms. White was terminated from the production over a year ago. 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. The complaint will be vigorously defended and cross-claims will be filed against her."]

I thought sexual harrassment was just part of hollywood. Either you put up with it, or you go home to mommy.
Wow, now people in hollywood have to play nice? What next, plot lines that must make sense?
I'm staying tuned!
Hopefully with what is going on with Mel Gibson, David Boreanaz and Casey Affleck will lead more people to realize what really goes on in Hollywood.
Celebrities feel they are entitled to do whatever they want and feel entitled to have whomever they want, and it is often covered up by studios and PR people.
Hopefully people will finally begin to see the truth of what a lot of these people are like.
If everything she said is true, Casey is as scummy as Mel minus the punching.
I love all this sexual harassment talk. It makes life easier and more enjoyable. I'm really hoping someone of power is next.

Oh, c'mon. Like so-called "celebrities" have a monopoly on any of this. People pull this kind of crap in any industry, it's just that we only get to read about every lurid detail when it's somebody who's already in the public eye.
