“Having two incredible women go present the Best Actress award felt like the right thing.”

Affleck previously denied the allegations.

“It was settled to the satisfaction of all,” he toldTheNew York Timeslast year.

“I was hurt and upset I am sure all were but I am over it.

It was an unfortunate situation mostly for the innocent bystanders of the families of those involved.”

“Over the past couple of years… And once I did that I discovered there was a lot to learn.

I was a boss.

I was one of the producers on the set….

I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional.

And I’m sorry.”

The film will premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival.
