Everything Hollywood actors do in public is by design. We are at that point where such little events become boring for the rest of us who are not intense fans. But for those who are…. like my girlfriend sitting next to me as I write this, Ben Affleck was pissed.
Ben Affleck had a heated encounter with paparazzi this weekend as he left his and Jennifer Lopez’s Beverly Hills home. The incident occurred when photographers, stationed at the bottom of a hill, began excessively using flash photography as Affleck drove down the path, potentially impairing his ability to drive safely. Affleck, clearly frustrated, stopped his car and confronted one of the photographers about the danger their actions posed.

The confrontation was tense, with Affleck pointing out the risk of an accident due to the blinding flashes, especially since he was driving and his daughter was also expected to come down the same hill. He stressed the safety concerns to the gathered paparazzi, who seemed to understand his point and appeared to heed his warning. Despite their acknowledgement, Affleck departed the scene visibly upset by the encounter.

The backdrop to this incident involves Affleck’s personal life, which has been under scrutiny. He and Jennifer Lopez, who were not together at the time as Lopez was traveling in Europe, reportedly live separately despite being married. Lopez has been spending time away, first in Italy and then in Paris, while Affleck has been staying in a rental property in Brentwood.
There are also rumors that the couple is looking to sell their Beverly Hills estate, which they purchased for $60 million, for an asking price of $65 million. This move has sparked speculation about potential issues in their marriage, which has lasted for a couple of years. The sale of such a significant property, only a year after its purchase, adds to the ongoing public fascination with their relationship dynamics.
