This might surprise you, but under the right circumstances, women like to be touched. Sure, a press junket is a pretty weird place for... well, at best titillating touching, but looking at other interviews between those two, it seems to have been a thing.
Are you doing one of these?

Does this fall in "concern trolling"? Is this what TC is doing here?

That looked awkward... and inappropriate for tv. Not seeing the sexual assault though, both seemed to be having fun, like it was a private moment. lol

I bet that chick ended up banging him later that day.

You mean he raped her according to OPs logic?
You rape culture supporters would love nothing more than make me look misogynist, but sorry it's not gonna work. Thread backfire failed.
I can think of an easy tag that will fit perfect and prevent this from happening
What are you basing it went further than it should have on? She's laughing,smiling and having a good time. It's flirting. You'd have to be completely unable to read body language to not see this.
Declaring this does not make it true.

AML and Ben Affleck crossed paths more than once. And they were always super flirty with each other on camera. And I do believe it was between his break-up with J Lo and his hooking up with Jennifer Gardner.
So yeah, chances are they were totally fucking off camera.
ok, you are tolling. Got it.

I mean, what do you want? This is a post-Good Will Hunting Ben Affleck we're talking about. If she were to have defended herself in that situation because she felt uncomfortable being touched like that, you can bet she would have been fired and blacklisted from all of media for the rest of her days.

So, we're rape culture supporters, but you refuse to call yourself a "feminist" so as to not "politicize" the thread?

Seems like human contact is such a foreign concept to some, that this video scares them.
If she's faking her body language and expression then she's the best bloody actress I've ever seen.

Well I am questioning OPs logic or maybe clickbait.

No one's trying to make you look like anything. You're doing a good enough job of that yourself.

I think electing to not sit in his lap, when she was standing out of arms reach, would not have gotten her fired. And if it did, I would hate to be her network/handlers in that legal dispute.

I just read the wiki on the interviewer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne-Marie_Losique
After reading this, I think I am right.

She looks very uncomfortable in that whole situation, probably just smiled to get through it because it's her job.
I seriously can't see how anyone thinks that's casual flirting when he looks completely shitfaced and doing everything short of just flat out feeling her up. I'm terrified to think what some people in here would think is "acceptable flirting" in real life.

Finally someone with a little humanity.
I don't know what happened to GAF these days, and why all these dudes are so proud of being sexual predators. Disgusting.

AML and Ben had met before this interview, and they've had other interviews after this one. They've always been like this on screen together.

I don't think you're being sincere, but that's just me. You're using the same tired lingo that a troll would use. Moreover, posting a decades old video. Not to mention when you're being confronted with evidence, you just dismiss it.

She recreated part of the interview for a promotion of The Simple Life Quebec a few years ago.
brave of her to revisit this harrowing event.
