Matt Damon spoke out again after being shut down by both Allysa Milano and Minnie Driver.

“We’re in this watershed moment, and it’s great, but I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole s—tload of guys — the preponderance of men I’ve worked with — who don’t do this kind of thing and whose lives aren’t going to be affected,” he told Business Insider on Monday.

“If I have to sign a sexual harassment thing, I don’t care, I’ll sign it,” he said. “I would have signed it before. I don’t do that, and most of the people I know don’t do that.”

“I do believe that there is a spectrum of behavior … there’s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation,” he said. “Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated, without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated… When you see Al Franken taking a picture putting his hands on that woman’s flak jacket and mugging for the camera … that is just like a terrible joke, and it’s not funny. It’s wrong, and he shouldn’t have done that,” he noted. “But when you talk about Harvey and what he’s accused of, there are no pictures of that. He knew he was up to no good. There’s no witnesses, there’s no pictures, there’s no braggadocio — that stuff happened secretly, because it was criminal and he knew it. So they don’t belong in the same category.”
