Casey Affleck
Casey Affleck  has withdrawn from presenting the best actress award at this yearâs Oscars  Fox News has learned.
The news comes after increased scrutiny over years-old accusations against  Affleck  that stem from  his  alleged inappropriate behavior on the set of  his  documentary âIâm Still Here.â The criticism of  Affleck  resurfaced as more and more women in Hollywood began speaking out about sexual harassment and assault.
The younger brother of  fellow actor Ben Affleck  was accused of sexual harassment by two women in 2010 who alleged he was sexually inappropriate with them during the making of the film. Both cases were settled for undisclosed amounts  but the allegations have stuck with  Affleck .
There was a negative reaction when  the star  was nominated for â and won â the Academy Award for best actor for âManchester by the Sea" in 2017. A petition then circulated suggesting  Affleck  not be allowed to present at this yearâs Academy Awards though it's tradition at the Oscars for the previous year's best actor winner to present the best actress award.
Itâs currently unknown who will take  Affleck âs place at the show.
Despite the accusations   Affleck  hasnât struggled to find work in Hollywood.  He  has a slew of projects in production and post-production since  his  Oscar win.
