Ben Affleck reacts to uproar
Page Six reports that Ben also responded to the comments about his past drinking habit during a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
Ben felt that people captured part of the interview to make him look bad because they had talked a lot about family, divorce and alcoholism, only to see a part of it trending.
He said it made him look like the worst and most insensitive person, adding that it was not true and the opposite was true.
The actor added that he would never want his kids to say a bad word about their mum. Ben and Garner share thee kids.
Ben Affleck's interview
In the interview on The Howard Stern Show, the Justice League actor disclosed intimate details about his previous marriage.
He was accused of insinuating that his marriage to Garner was suffocating him, and he was forced to drink to survive the days because he felt trapped and could not leave.
He said:
“Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped. I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.”
An earlier source claimed Lopez was also getting to know Garner and her kids, and Ben's revelations may have strained the two relationships.
