have there been any like counteracts against the allegations? like any proof or anything to back up his innocence??
There isn’t any proof of either his guilt or innocence.
Right after the allegations came out, “I’m Still Here” associate producer Nicole Acacio stated:
“I got to know both Amanda and Magdalena to some degree. I never saw anything out of the ordinary either on or off set, and certainly nothing like what they described in their suits.”
She went on to say:
“I was in Las Vegas at that shoot, and I never saw anything like that happen. Casey’s wife and his children were in town with him […] 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.”
And then, a different person (an editor on the movie) stated “These lawsuits are contrary to everything that I personally know about Casey.”
There’s also an early statement from Casey’s lawyer at the time, Marty Singer, which stated:
“Their lawyer sent the media both lawsuits before he filed them with the court […] Both claims are total fiction.”
Since the allegations first came out, Casey has vehemently denied them. His representatives originally were planning to counter-sue. And when the case was first settled, The Hollywood Reporter reported the following:
“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.”

So at the end of the day, there is no hard evidence of his innocence, just as there is no hard evidence of his guilt, which is back to my point that we should all just try to not pass judgement, let alone hate towards anyone.
