Violet Affleck Felt “Used As a Pawn” During J.Lo and Ben Affleck’s Split, Is No Longer in Touch With J.Lo
Jennifer Lopez remained close to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter, Violet Affleck, throughout her split from Ben—but apparently the pair are no longer in touch due to Violet allegedly feeling used.
To quote a source who chatted to the Daily Mail: “Violet felt like she was used as a pawn so to speak during her dad’s split from JLo. Jen supported her daughter getting close to the singer because she always puts her children first. But as the divorce loomed, the fact that Violet was hanging out with JLo and wearing her clothes was odd to the family. So too was Lynda Lopez visiting Violet at college.”
The insider added that “Jen even let this slide, because she wants Violet to be happy and respects that, as an adult, she can choose who to spend her time with even if Jen does not necessarily agree.”
Things changed when “Violet started to see how upset her father was that their split was at the center of everything. Ben never said a word about JLo. Violet is highly intelligent and will ultimately always be a daddy’s girl. This is why you do not see her on public outings with JLo anymore.”
No one in the family has spoken out about this dynamic (so take it with a grain of salt!), but innnnteresting.
Jennifer Garner has reportedly been spending the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires helping friends, volunteering at her church, and going “non-stop”— and Ben Affleck is ready to drop everything to help his ex.
“Jen has been dedicating every waking hour to helping her friends who have lost everything in the fires,” a source tells the Daily Mail. “She is helping her church, and she has been going non-stop. She needs to take some time to relax but that is not how Jen is – not when she is passionate about something. The fires took a big toll on her and she lost a friend. She has been out there every day volunteering her time.”
