These are new photos of Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas walking their dogs on Saturday. There are some more from last Thursday at Just Jared (they?re exclusives so we don?t have access to them). In those photos Ana is wearing a red print shirt dress and staring at Ben like he?s the best thing ever, as she?s been doing in just about every other set of photos we?ve seen of them over the past few weeks.
Im pretty sure these photos are from outside Anas place as the setting looks different and the photo agency says they are in Santa Monica. They look annoyed at the paparazzi but I imagine the lockdown is grating on everyone. I do wonder if theyre having problems but I think theyre going to last for a while. On Sunday they went to CVS and got some iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
Page Six has a very long profile of Ben and Ana along with some quotes about how Ben and Anas relationship got fast tracked due to the lockdown.
?Ben was due on set [of ?The Last Duel,? written with and co-starring Matt Damon] and Ana was meant to be on a world tour [for the James Bond film ?No Time to Die?],? said a source close to the couple. ?To get to spend so much time together is a real blessing.?
De Armas, the breakout star of last year?s movie hit ?Knives Out,? moved in after the two took a romantic trip to Costa Rica and her native Cuba last month.
?They?re really into each other, they get on extremely well and they certainly don?t seem to have any issues being holed up together 24/7,? the close source said
The film industry source, who described de Armas as ?extremely sweet,? said of the actress: ?You don?t get to Hollywood from Cuba if you haven?t got steely determination. She?s been living out of bags for the past few years, going from project to project.?
An insider added that Affleck has been able to start a new relationship only after working on his issues, saying: ?Ben continues to work hard on his health so that he can be there for his family.?

I mean, did they need to do this? The whole piece is very long and definitely publicist-underwritten. We also have some photos of Affleck smoking a cigarette while wearing a surgical mask. I find cigarette smoking gross in general, but there?s something worse about it when the person is wearing a mask. I imagine the smoke clinging to the fabric. We?re advised not to adjust our masks as that can contaminate them and are told to wash them right when we get home. I don?t want to shame Ben for this, especially if he?s sober and is working hard to maintain that. Im just surprised he doesnt vape instead. Those photos are from Thursday and Ben was seen loading a bag in his car. Even though Page Six says that Ben and Ana are living together, I think she has a separate place in the Venice Beach area.
Also I hope Ben has a good sober community at this time, if thats what he needs. There are virtual meetings and he can always pick up the phone.

In the fall of 2017, the Harvey Weinstein story broke in a huge way. I remember the lead-up to it, and the rumors that a big expos was about to drop, and not really believing that it would happen and not really believing that it would make a dent. I was happy to be wrong. Once Ronan Farrow, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey dropped their exclusives, everything changed. Weinstein?s victims finally felt like the world would listen to their stories. Survivors around the world felt like they could finally speak about what happened to them. There was a massive cultural shift in the way we spoke about Weinstein specifically, and sexual assault and predators generally. I know I wasn?t perfect in how I discussed these issues before and during the massive cultural shift. But I?d like to think that I handled it better than Ellen Pompeo.
Last week, a July 2018 clip of Pompeo speaking to the Oxford Union panel was rediscovered and it was? bad. Keep in mind, this was a good eight to nine months after the Weinstein revelations and well after the Me Too movement happened and Time?s Up was already a thing.
She couched these comments in both-sideism, that women bear responsibility for being sexy and seductive and not *stopping* men from assaulting them. She says in part:
I think we bear some responsibility, not all, but it takes two to tango for sure. Thats not to blame the victims, thats just to say I did go into a room with Harvey Weinstein, I sat at a table with him, I had a probably two-and-a-half hour conversation with him. He never said anything inappropriate to me, he never made any sort of physical advance to me. I wasnt in the room alone with him. I had been sent there by an agent in the middle of the daytime. I didnt think there was anything wrong. I wouldnt have gone into that room at night. But he did nothing inappropriate toward me. Now had he, I would have picked up that glass and smashed him across the side of the face with it. So I mean, its all what were willing to tolerate in our self-esteem, and what are we going to put up with, and what are we going to compromise to be liked, to be loved, to be accepted? How bad do we want to be in show business?

This is all just? bad. To say this months after Annabelle Sciorra told her story of Weinstein raping her in her apartment. To say this months after Lupita Nyong?o?s op-ed. To say this months after so many brave women came forward to speak of how Weinstein manipulated, harassed and assaulted them. But what makes this whole thing worse is that Pompeo got on Twitter last week to try to defend herself and she lied a lot and tried to pretend that all of this was out of context:
After the clip caught the attention of Twitter users, Pompeo used the platform to apologize and clarify her words. Hey girls sorry if video clips are upsetting!! she wrote. Its out of context & it?s too serious a subject to talk about on a platform like thispeople who have been abused or assaulted should seek guidance from a therapist this is not a healthy place for topics this serious.
In her tweets, the actress incorrectly claimed that the panel came before the landmark New York Times investigation into Weinstein and helped kickstart the #MeToo movement. Pompeo corrected herself about the timeline leading to her comments but said she hadnt read the coverage at the time.
Okay so I was just told The Times story was out before this but I didn?t read it I only was really following the story on the news once the trial began, she wrote. Pompeo also added that she was talking about harassment not assault, and that she was only sharing her experience with Weinstein, who earlier this year was convicted of rape and other charges, and sentenced to 23 years in prison. For years before times up women had to put up with harassment and still do on a regular basis it was just part of the job as it is in a lot or all professions we couldn?t complain like we can now, Pompeo said in another tweet. If we complained we would be out and the man would stay.
Pompeo ? whos been an outspoken advocate for equal pay and other causes ? added that shes thankful that survivors can speak up now&MY way of coping w/ whatever situations I?ve been in is not a comment on how other women handle things? again Thank God we can speak up now but once again assault and harassment are different both bad but different. Not sure of harassment is seen by law enforcement as a crime.

?Okay so I was just told The Times story was out before this but I didn?t read it I only was really following the story on the news once the trial began.? The fk? She didn?t ?read? any of the first-hand accounts of rape, assault and harassment which were detailed in outlets like the New York Times, LA Times, Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, People Magazine and a million other blogs and media outlets? She?s acting like she just missed one little article in the Times and she?s trying to ?who me??? her way out of saying horrible sh-t months after this scandal shook HER INDUSTRY to its core. Ugh. WTF.
