“Ben Affleck never deserved Jennifer Garner, and has spent 17 years proving that.”
In his latest interview, Ben Affleck went on Howard Stern and talked about all sorts of stuff, like his new relationship with Jennifer Lopez, his kids, and his history with alcoholism.

Affleck then discussed how his 13-year marriage to Jennifer Garner broke his sobriety, saying: “It’s part of why I started drinking…because I was trapped.”

He essentially blames their marriage for drinking again, and a whole lot of people are upset by his comments (considering Affleck’s alcoholism started long before his relationship with Garner).

Jennifer Garner fans are taking to Twitter to show their unconditional love and support for her because…well, how could you not? She’s an angel on earth and dealt with a lot of Ben Affleck’s nonsense during their marriage.
So, here are some of the best reactions so far:
1.
Are you out there, Ben Affleck? It’s us, the Jennifer Garner hive.
Ben Affleck: I would’ve ‘still’ been drinking if I stayed married to Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner: *helps him to rehab 3 full years after they’ve already separated *

And we’re here to let you know that you messed up, dude.
He was an addict before Jennifer Garner alcohol and gambling and who knows what else.Didn’t he cheat on her with their nanny? She took care of his drunk ass even when they were divorced. https://t.co/bOUvE7a44U

Like…you really, really messed up.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest! Pretty shitty. He was drinking long before her. She stood by him after he cheated. She takes care of the kids while he’s off living the JLo lifestyle. Jennifer Garner saved Ben Affleck’s life and career. He should show more grace. https://t.co/CQGvGozuIV

You messed up, dude.
This is why you can’t trust people who drink Dunkin’ Donuts religiously. Once or twice is fine but after that the swamp water rots your brain and you go on Howard Stern and blame your alcoholism on Jennifer Garner and your kids who are old enough to read about it. https://t.co/6WrbO8ks2C

I think Abe Lincoln said it best: Better to remain silent and be thought a dick than to speak on Howard Stern about Jennifer Garner and remove all doubt. #BenAffleck

When you can’t accept that your drinking problem is because of you, you still have a drinking problem. Jennifer Garner didn’t drive Ben Affleck to drink, she did however drive him to rehab probably saving his life.

#BenAffleck what an ass hole, any men married to #JenniferGarner should consider himself a very lucky men. Saying this, without thinking of his daughters.

Is this man serious😒 is he seriously throwing Jennifer garner under the bus even though she was there for him in his lowest moments, taking him to rehab, keeping a dignified silence after their divorce, putting her kids and him first and this is how Ben Affleck repays her.

So because Ben Affleck felt trapped in his marriage to Jennifer Garner he started drinking and then sleeping with the nanny (he left the nanny bit out).
He felt so trapped in his marriage that 3yrs after they separated, Jennifer had to drive him to rehab.

Free PR lesson for Ben Affleck: I drank because I was unhappy. End the sentence RIGHT THERE. Don’t mention your ex-wife, mother of your children, and general ray of sunshine Jennifer Garner. Because SHE IS NOT WHY YOU DRANK, YOU INSUFFERABLE ASSBAG.

#BenAffleck #JenniferGarner Wonder how Jen felt cuz you “drank alot” and fucked around? We won’t know cuz she’s too much of a lady and good Mom spill to the world. Nobody would blame her if she did now tho. #teamJenniferGarner

Ben Affleck and Chris Pratt prove more and more everyday that Jennifer Garner and Anna Faris were the real MVP’s in their respective relationships. https://t.co/zLCVrU59wh

Ben Affleck blaming his marriage for his drinking problem.
Nope. #DickMove
Jennifer Garner is not gonna shoulder the blame for your alcoholism. That’s so shitty.

Protect #JenniferGarner at all costs. She is one of the only truly beautiful souls in Hollywood. She doesn’t deserve to be publicly trashed. Especially by someone like #BenAffleck

Ben Affleck was an alcoholic before Jennifer Garner and he was still an alcoholic 3 years after they separated when she dragged his drunk, cheating ass to rehab. He is only alive because of Jennifer Garner so he can fucking choke.

@chris_notcapn To be blunt, Jennifer Garner was always way out of his league. To be clear, I’m not talking about her looks. I’m talking about how Garner was willing to try to make it work for her kids, & for him, despite his issues, & he just had no ability to appreciate what she had to offer.

Less than friendly reminder that Jennifer Garner drove his ass to rehab when they were already estranged and stopped to get him food at a drive-thru en route while she was supposed to be on vacation/break with their kids out of town. https://t.co/GcuYRB0G3O

i need this man to SHUT UP about jennifer garner because any time he opens his damn mouth he tries to blame her for his shitty behavior while they were married, when she was supporting his recovery even AFTER their divorce https://t.co/hdeLfjA6Vq

Ben Affleck hasn’t had a good movie in all my time on earth. He’s awful in everything. He was horrible as batman, daredevil and his action hero films were always lackluster. No one asked you to stay with Jennifer Garner. He wants to blame the issues on her, but the problem is you

Ben Affleck was pounding scotch, passing out in front of the kids, and cheating with the nanny.
Jennifer Garner 👏

in that marriage. 👏

And you realllllly messed up.
There’s a lot I want to say about Ben Affleck but it basically all boils down to him being a gross human being. Jennifer Garner is an angel among us & I hope she continues to heal & thrive without him.
