Ben Affleck clarifies his comments on his marriage to Jennifer Garner and his alcoholism
The last interview of Ben Affleck with radio host Howard Stern generated endless of headlines and angry reactions on Twitter , because associated his alcohol problems with the fact that he felt “trapped” during much of his now-defunct marriage to Jennifer Garner . It is true that he also spoke about the excellent professional and personal relationship that he continues to maintain with the mother of his three children, but that part clearly went unnoticed.
On his way through the television program of Jimmy Kimmel , the Hollywood star wanted to respond to the controversy generated and admitted that certain comments, in his opinion the result of misunderstandings or distorted interpretations, “hurt” his “feelings”. The actor defended his emotional reactions to a coexistence with Jennifer that stopped making him happy, and which he did not end sooner than necessary for the sake of his three children: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
“Then I started to see all this on Twitter and I was left thinking: ‘But what happens here?’. The truth is that it has hurt my feelings, that people have not understood well what I said is making me look like the most insensitive, stupid and evil guy in the world “, Ben confessed in his conversation with the comedian, to whom he offered a version of the rather kinder facts of the topics he addressed in his interview with Howard Stern.
“We talk a lot about my family, you know? about alcoholism, about my struggle with real things, how you have to be accountable and loving, how I have been working with my ex-wife… I am so proud of the way we have been able to organize with our children, the best that we have I could and always with them in mind, “explained Affleck. “I came out very happy and I thought that I should do these things more often, be more honest, self-critical and introspective,” he concluded.
