Los Angeles -- A second woman has sued U.S. filmmaker/actor Casey Affleck for sexual harassment, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Affleck is working on an upcoming Joaquin Phoenix documentary.
Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka is suing Affleck in a $2.25 million lawsuit being filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint says Affleck engaged in a pattern of harassing behavior, and refused to pay or credit her when the behavior forced her off the project.
The Reporter said the allegations are similar to a separate suit filed last Friday by Amanda White, a producer who says she left the movie after witnessing shocking behavior and after refusing to sleep in a hotel room with Affleck.

New York -- Rapper-actor Ice-T indicated via Twitter he is furious over his arrest in New York for allegedly driving with a suspended license and not wearing a seat belt.
The 52-year-old star, who has played a Manhattan cop on TV's "Law & Order: SVU" since 2000, was waiting at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel Tuesday morning when the mirror of his car brushed against a police officer at a random checkpoint, prompting the officer to try to pull Ice-T over, authorities told the New York Post.
The Post said the actor kept going, so the cop ran up to his car and banged on its tinted window to get him to stop. When he did, police said they discovered he had been driving with a suspended license, had no valid insurance and was not wearing a seat belt.

Los Amgeles -- Celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro is no longer representing Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan, a source told the Los Angeles Times Monday.
E! News said Lohan, 24, arrived at the Beverly Hills, Calif., courthouse Tuesday to begin a 90-day jail sentence for failing to comply with the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence conviction. FOX News said she was remanded to custody to begin the sentence.
Due to the nature of her original crime and prison overcrowding, however, she is not expected to spend the entire 90 days in jail.
The Times cited an unnamed Sheriff's Department source as saying Shapiro, who agreed to defend the "Freaky Friday" actress last week, is no longer Lohan's lawyer.
