The incident was revealed after Affleck made a statement on the Harvey Weinstein scandal, saying he was "sickened" over the claims.
The actor was immediately slammed on social media, Rose McGowan called him a "liar."
Someone brought up the fact that he groped Burton back in the day, but "everyone forgot."
Burton quickly responded herself, saying "I didn't forget."
