“I started drinking because I felt trapped,” Affleck wrote on Wednesday about his marriage to Jennifer Garner, from 2005 to 2008. “Our divorce was long overdue, but we stayed together for a long time for our three children. I thought, ‘I can’t leave here for the sake of the kids, but I’m not happy. What should I do now?’ So I finished a bottle of whiskey and fell asleep on the couch. But that turned out not to be a solution. Eventually, we came to realize that our relationship was not the example we wanted our children to set.”

But those statements don’t exactly go down well. The actor has been criticized from all sides on social media. And even Jennifer Lopez, the singer with whom Affleck had a relationship before his marriage to Garner, and with whom he has remarried since April, is reportedly not exactly happy with the interview, in fact: according to the specialized American magazines. Lopez is “fierce”. “Now she’s getting involved in this story again, even though she doesn’t want to,” said a source. “She has already met Jennifer Garner, she is trying to get to know her and their children. It’s just reckless of him.”
