They were quick to call him out about it, recalling how the actor allegedly groped the TRL star when she was just 18 years old—and it aired on TRL Uncensored.

And before anyone could come to Ben’s defense, Hilarie then posted the clip of TRL outtakes in which she says about Ben, “He comes over and tweaks my left boob.” Later in that video, the actor asks her, “How old are you — 19?”
