Host in Ben Affleck video says she's not victim of groping

FWS - TV host Anne-Marie Losique, whose 2004 interview with Ben Affleck recently went viral, claimed Wednesday that she was not a victim of harassment. 

'This was for the camera. You have to understand that we have done dozens and dozens of interviews like that. It was for a show I was producing, so I was not at all a victim,' Losique told The Hollywood Reporter.

Losique said the interview was just an act and as soon as the cameras stopped 'there was none of that'.

'He never touched me in any improper way. He was very respectful,' the Canadian host said, adding that she's not 'thrilled' to have the interview mixed in with the sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein because she doesn't 'think that is at all the same thing'.

The video starts by showing Losique sitting on Affleck's lap facing him as he's heard saying: 'They would like it better if you did the show topless.'

Affleck then turns Losique around so she can face the camera before he places his head on her chest.

'This is a lovely perfume you have on,' Affleck says as the two hold each other.

He then says: 'You ususally show a lot more cleavage than this. What's the story? Why are you covering it up today?'

'It's Sunday morning,' Losique responds.

'It's Sunday morning? That never stopped you before from getting them ti****s out,' Affleck says back to her in the interview that lasted for more than five minutes.

But despite what the video appears to show, Losique said it 'has been blown out of proportion'.

'I know that people like fishing for anything, but this is completely out of context. I would like this to not have any negative impact on him. I find it sad.'(dailymail)
