A second woman has sued Casey Affleck for sexual harassment, claiming the actor-director climbed into her bed and groped her as she slept.

Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka filed a $2.25 million suit in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Affleck refused to pay or credit her for her work on “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix” after his allegedly abusive behavior forced her to exit the project.

Casey Affleck is being sued for sexual harassment by a producer who worked on his upcoming documentary about his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix’s foray into rap. Producer Amanda White is asking for $2 million, claiming that, while working on “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix,” Affleck made a number of “uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances.” According to the suit, “On one occasion, Affleck instructed a crew member to take off his pants in order to show [White] his penis, even after [White] objected,” and “he discussed his sexual exploits and those of other celebrities that he allegedly witnessed.” And there are plenty more allegations.
