Ben Affleck's comments on drinking during Jennifer Garner marriage receive backlash
Fox News
Affleck and Garner split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage. They finalized their divorce in 2018.
"Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped," he told Stern. "I was like, 'I can't leave because of my kids, but I'm not happy, what do I do?' And what I did was [I] drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution."
Many fans on Twitter slammed Affleck for seemingly trying to blame his drinking problem on his ex-wife.
