The daughter of actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner has faced criticism after speaking to the Los Angeles government to encourage them to continue the fight against coronavirus and wear masks. Sources close to Ben Affleck's entourage told the DailyMail that he supported his 18-year-old daughter, but said she should be "realistic" and not count on celebrity status.
Violet Affleck has spoken publicly about her experience of living with post-Covid syndrome, the unpleasant consequences for the body that people who have recovered from coronavirus experience. Her speech, in which she called for lifting the ban on wearing masks, using ultraviolet disinfection in public places and introducing high-quality testing, caused a mixed reaction, with many criticizing Ben Affleck's eldest daughter.
Her father told her that most people would never understand her. "Ben talked to her and told her that she needed to be realistic because he didn't want her to spend all her time on something that probably wouldn't benefit her in the long run," the insider said. The insider also said that Affleck was concerned that Violet thought "that her parents' star power would guarantee her the outcome she wanted, and in this case, it didn't."
The criticism upset Violet so much that she decided to give up her fight, although she had been preparing for this performance for a very long time: one of the conditions that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner set for her to allow her to perform publicly was that she had to be 18 years old.
Let us recall that Violet's father, 51-year-old Ben Affleck, is currently going through a difficult period in his relationship with his wife, 54-year-old Jennifer Lopez. There are rumors that they are planning to get divorced. Neither of them has officially confirmed this information yet, but they have put their mansion up for sale, and insiders claim that the couple has not lived together for a long time.
However, Jennifer Lopez is on good terms with Violet Affleck: they spent time together over the weekend.
