JENNIFER LOPEZ SHUTS DOWN REPORTS SHE WAS UPSET OVER WHAT BEN AFFLECK SAID ABOUT JENNIFER GARNER

Jennifer Lopez is denying a recent report that came out last week that she’s upset over comments her current boo Ben Affleck made about ex-wife Jennifer Garner while chatting with Howard Stern.

Earlier this week, the actor caught some flack online after comments he made on The Howard Stern Show in which he said “part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped,” in reference to his marriage to Jennifer Garner. He added that he’d “probably still be drinking” if the pair didn’t split up. Affleck later responded to the backlash over the comments, which were admittedly taken out of context given the fact that they were part of a larger two-hour interview.

Soon after, reports surfaced that Lopez was upset with her boyfriend’s comments, which she has since denied in a statement to People.

“This story is simply not true,” Lopez told the outlet. “It is not how I feel.”

Lopez also added that she “couldn’t have more respect for Ben as a father, a co-parent, and a person.

After talking with Stern, Affleck clarified his comments during a later chat on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, explaining that he “would never want my kids to think I would ever say a bad word about their mom.”

“I know people do this, and I get it,” Affleck said about the way stories spread online. “Me, I’m happy to be sad Batman, I’m happy to be Dunkin Donuts and the memes, I understand you have to get married to Jimmy Kimmel sometimes. But really, like, if it’s about my kids I gotta just draw a line and be really clear, that’s not true.”

With Lopez explaining how she feels about the whole thing, a source close to the pair also told People that they are “in a really great space and really happy.”

I get she needs to save face because she’s not about to have egg on her face as she, Ben and their kids spend time together during the holidays, but I still feel he didn’t take responsibility for his actions in their marriage.

He felt stuck, and didn’t have the balls to leave, especially since financially he’s well off that he could have separated from Jen and get an apartment somewhere.

Also don’t get me started on how Jen took care of him whenever he was in one of his drunken stupors, and even forgave him when he cheated on her with the nanny.

JLo was already embarrassed by her last relationship with A Rod. She’s not about to get wrapped up in Ben’s mess.
