While undeniably talented, Casey and Ben Afflecks' reputations have been tarnished by some seriously
shady behavior.
From cheating allegations, to gripping vices, we're diving into the dark gossip dogging
these Oscar winners.
Casey's alleged cheating
Sources told InTouch Weekly that Casey and ex-wife Summer Phoenix were plagued by cheating
allegations, claiming, "She was having a lot of trust issues...They went to couples counseling
but they just couldn't recover."
Us Weekly reported that the spouses settled their divorce in August 2017, just days after
officially filing, noting that the documents listed that they actually separated back in
November 2015.
The two were married for ten years.
Ben's impropriety
Despite Ben's denials, sources told People that he allegedly cheated on wife Jennifer
Garner with their longtime nanny, Christine Ouzounian.
One source told the mag, "[Christine] is in love with him."
But "Nannygate" wasn't Ben's first cheating allegation.
Star alleges that he got awfully close to actress Emily Ratajkowski while filming Gone
Girl.
A source told the magazine, "Ben and Emily just spent a lot of time hanging out in their
trailers or at the hotel...Away from the Hollywood spotlight, they had a lot of privacy."
What's more, sources told Us Weekly that Ben and his current girlfriend, SNL producer Lindsay
Shookus, actually began hooking up in 2013 while he was still married to Garner.
A source close to Garner claimed, "Ben and Lindsay started their affair about three years
ago...They were sleeping together, sending each other cute texts and meeting up whenever
they could."
Ben's Gone Girl director, David Fincher, admitted that there's a reason he cast Ben as cheater
Nick Dunne in the film, saying, "This is something that Ben is extraordinarily good at...If I
was his wife, I think I would be very suspicious, always, of whoever just called...because he
has a real gift at being able to insinuate a conversation."
Casey's shocking behavior
In 2010, two women sued Casey for alleged sexual harassment and assault.
Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka, who worked with Casey on I'm Still Here: The Lost Year
of Joaquin Phoenix, claimed he harassed her throughout filming and refused to credit her
for her work on the project after his alleged abuse drove her to quit.
Casey's alleged misdeeds included drunkenly stumbling into a bed Gorka slept in and touching
her inappropriately while she slept.
According to the Daily Mail, a separate suit from producer Amanda White alleged that Casey's
constant "shocking behavior" drove her to leave the same film project as well.
The women settled with Casey for undisclosed sums and are prohibited from speaking about
the allegations as a result.
In March 2017, after winning the best actor Oscar for Manchester by the Sea, Casey told
The Boston Globe, "I believe that any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is
unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace
and anywhere else.
There's really nothing I can do about it...Other than live my life the way I know I live it
and to speak to what my own values are and how I try to live by them all the time."
Ben's private addictions
Ben's alleged gambling habits may have gotten him into hot water, both at casinos and at
home during his marriage to Garner.
In May 2014, TMZ reported that Ben had been banned from the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas
for allegedly counting cards in blackjack.
The tabloid noted that he's really good at the game, having won $800,000 in just one
night.
Ben denied accusations of compulsive gambling, claiming that he's not banned from the casino
— just from that particular card game.
He told Details, "My only hope is that people with any common sense recognize that those
stories are false…I mean, the fact that being good at the game is against the rules
at the casinos should tell you something about casinos."
But gambling isn't the actor's only vice.
Ben first publicly went to rehab to treat his alleged alcohol abuse in 2001, but sources
say it didn't stick.
He was spotted with a detox nurse in January 2017, admitting in March 2017 that he had
quietly sought help again for alcohol abuse.
He wrote on Facebook, "I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt
with in the past and will continue to confront...This was the first of many steps being taken towards
a positive recovery."
About a month after his rehab reveal, he and Garner formally filed for divorce, and he's
since been spotted drinking with new girlfriend, Shookus.
Hot water
In October 2017, producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of decades of sexual harassment,
assault, and misconduct of actresses, including Rose McGowan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie,
Mira Sorvino, and Asia Argento.
Days after the allegations were published in The New York Times and The New Yorker,
Ben tweeted:
"I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to
intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades...We need to do better
at protecting our sisters, friends, co-workers and daughters.
We must support those who come forward, condemn this type of behavior when we see it and help
ensure there are more women in positions of power."
McGowan slammed Affleck's statement, suggesting he knew about the alleged abuse years ago
because she supposedly confided in him about her experience.
She tweeted, claiming that when she told Ben about Harvey's alleged assault, he responded
with, "G--------!
I told him to stop doing that."
She then added, "Ben Affleck, f--- off."
