Since "mockumentary" director Casey Affleck already admitted that his Joaquin Phoenix film I'm Still Here is a hoax, he's now moved on to other revealing tidbits about making the so-called doc...

Last night on Leno, Affleck said the following: "The movie comes out, the critics liked to say, 'This is crazy, this is disturbing, this is sick and we should be worried about him,’ but while it was happening, people were happy just to mock him."

He goes on to admit that no one ever talked to him, worried about Phoenix's erratic behavior. Kinda sad, huh? Even the none of it was real!

We wondered if it might be a hoax, but since I'm Still Here was repeatedly billed as a documentary chronicling Joaquin Phoenix's pursuit of a rap career, we weren't sure what to make of it.

Director Casey Affleck has finally admitted that the whole thing was one big fake, and that Phoenix was acting the entire time. “It’s a terrific performance, it’s the performance of his career,” Mr. Affleck told the NY Times. “The reviews were so angry. I never intended to trick anybody. The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind."

“There were multiple takes, these are performances,” Affleck continued, referring specifically to scenes that portrayed drug use and Phoenix involving himself with prostitutes. Affleck said he also had to convince Phoenix’s agent at WME Entertainment that he wanted Phoenix to act the part in public, but surprisingly he went along with it. "You would think he would have me killed immediately,” he joked.

Casey Affleck has settled the sexual harassment suits filed against him by two female producers who worked on the documentary "I'm Still Here", reports THR.

A rep for Affleck said in a statement, "The disputes between Flemmy Productions, LLC and Casey Affleck with Amanda White and Magdalena Gorka in connection with the film I'm Still Here have been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and the lawsuits are being dismissed."

White and Gorka sued Affleck in July for $2 million and $2.25 million, respectively, claiming the actor/director engaged in all sorts of inappropriate and abusive behavior and refused to pay them when they left the production. Wonder how much money they got?

Despite being accused of sexual harassment by two different women who worked on the Joaquin Phoenix documentary I'm Still Here, Casey Affleck put on a smile and posed for pictures at the premiere for the film at the Venice International Film Festival. We spotted his big bro Ben leaving LA the other day, so perhaps he's there to lend Casey some much needed support?

After being accused of sexual harassment by two women who worked on his Joaquin Phoenix documentary, Casey Affleck's associate producer Nicole Acacio is sticking up for him.

"I never saw anything out of the ordinary either on or off set, and certainly nothing like what they described in [these lawsuits]," Acacio, tells the NY Post. "The real Casey isn't the one who was described in these suits. Nothing I've ever witnessed would lead me to think he could ever do anything like that. These lawsuits are contrary to everything that I personally know about Casey."

Producer Amanda White claimed the actor/producer made "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace," and cinematographer Magdalena Gorka alleges that while filming the documentary, Affleck climbed into bed with her and groped her while she was sleeping. Affleck's lawyer has strongly denied the accusations made by both of these women, who are also seeking payment for their time spent on the film.

Just one week after a female producer came forward with sexual harassment claims against Casey Affleck, a second female worker on the star's upcoming Joaquin Phoenix documentary is suing the filmmaker/actor for sexual harassment.

Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka filed a $2.25 million lawsuit against Affleck yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming that he engaged in a "pattern of harassing behavior and refused to pay or credit her when the abuse forced her to leave the project," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Gorka accuses Affleck of climbing into bed with her and groping her as she slept, and her claims are very similar to those made by Amanda White, the producer who first came forward with harassment claims last Friday.

A spokesman for Affleck will be releasing a statement shortly, and his attorney Marty Singer told THR yesterday that White "continuously used different threats and outrageous demands in order to request compensation she was not legally entitled to receive." Wonder what he'll have to say about Gorka? Her attorney Brian Procel released the following statement: "Ms. Gorka knows there will be repercussions, and that she will be exposed to attacks mounted by Affleck's high-paid publicists and 'bulldog' attorneys. She ultimately decided that the truth needs to come out. We look forward to our day in court."

Casey Affleck has been accused of sexual harassment by Amanda White, a producer of his documentary about brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix.

White claims Affleck made "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances" while directing I'm Still Here, and she says Ben's younger brother tried to get her to spend the night with him at a hotel in San Francisco.

In court documents, White claims Affleck became "hostile and aggressive" when she rejected his advances and "violently grabbed her arm in an effort to intimidate her into staying." Of course, White also claims Affleck owes her money for her work on the documentary, which follows Joaquin Phoenix's unsuccessful attempt to become a rapper.

Affleck's lawyer Michael Plonsker said in a statement:

"The allegations brought upon our clients are preposterous and without merit. Ms. White was terminated from the production over a year ago. She and her lawyers believe that this maliciously and erroneously filed complaint will cause the producers to succumb to her outrageous and baseless demands. She is mistaken. The complaint will be vigorously defended and cross-claims will be filed against her."

First Casey followed his big bro Ben into acting, and now it appears he's taking on directing as well!

Casey was in Vegas last weekend to shoot a documentary about another famous little brother: Joaquin Phoenix.

The project is supposed to be chronicling the Oscar nominated actor's transition to rap super-star, but after viewing Joaquin's performance, we're kinda hoping it's just a segment for Punk'd!

In case you missed Joaquin's stunning (and not in a good way) peformance over the weekend, we're reposting here:
