In an interview withDeadline,Damon denounced Weinsteins alleged behavior and claimed to have no knowledge of his actions.
We know this stuff goes on in the world, Damon told Deadline.
I did five or six movies with Harvey.
I never saw this.
I think a lot of actors have come out and said, everybodys saying we all knew.
This pop in of predation happens behind closed door, and out of public view.
Because we know that it happens.
I feel horrible for these women and its wonderful they have this incredible courage and are standing up now.
Weinstein helped launch Damon and Ben Afflecks careers in the mid-1990s by championing and executive producingGood Will Hunting.
We can all feel this change thats happening, which is necessary and overdue, Damon added.
This kind of stuff cant happen.
This morning, I just feel absolutely sick to my stomach.
The story is these women and what happened to them.
So if Im experiencing this discomfort, it hardly bears mention.
There are some real victims here and they are being incredibly brave.
Hopefully, them going through this experience right now will help them heal.
They are who we all should be thinking about, Damon said.
Two other women made similar assault claims against Weinstein.
Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein, Hofmeister said.
Mr. Weinstein has begun counseling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path.
Mr. Weinstein is hoping that, if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance.
