Ben Affleck is clearing a few things up.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday, he addressed controversy that followed comments he made in 2021 while speaking to Howard Stern about his past marriage to actress Jennifer Garner.
"I had a really painful experience where I did an interview where I was really vulnerable, and the entire pickup was something that was not only not right, it was actually the opposite of what I meant." Affleck told THR.

"It's part of why I started drinking," Affleck told Stern. "Because I was trapped."
Affleck told THR he was not trying to blame Garner for his drinking.
"To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely," he said.
