The Spotlight: Jeffrey Dean Morgan reacts to Ben Affleck's apology for groping his wife
In the wake of Harvey Weinstein's demise, more victims have become emboldened to share their own stories of abuse in Hollywood.
An incident with Ben Affleck was brought to light when Hilarie Burton accused the actor of groping her years ago during an interview. Affleck has since apologized for "acting inappropriately."
I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Burton's husband, "Walking Dead" actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan says he couldn't be more proud of his wife. Asked if he was was happy to see Affleck apologize, Morgan seems satisfied with the response.
“Of course,” Morgan said. “I didn't want to make a big deal of it because she didn't. But yea, I think everything that's come out in the last couple of weeks, starting with Harvey Weinstein ... I think anybody who has talked about it, and even those who haven't yet, are incredibly brave and I think it's time for change. Hopefully all this stuff is going to change this business."
“It's all over. It's prevalent all over and I'm proud of all these women and my wife."
