Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s tumultuous trysts continue to make headlines as enthusiasts continue what’s happening. Although nothing official has been announced, evidence continues to accumulate that Affleck and Lopez are on the verge of breaking up, and Affleck’s friends, including Matt Damon, are supporting him in what is obviously a complicated and potentially damaging time.
Ben Affleck has a well-documented history of alcohol abuse and reports claim that Matt Damon has supported his friend, looking to make sure he doesn’t back down. Damon reportedly told Affleck to “focus on the work” to get through this complicated time. The Daily Mail also reports that Damon asked his friend, “What has she done for your career already?
This is an odd comment, if it’s true that Matt Damon said it (we shouldn’t assume an anonymous source is accurate) because it’s hard to argue that Jennifer Lopez hasn’t done anything for Ben Affleck’s career. There’s no doubt that Lopez has been the biggest star in the relationship, that’s been the case, so the help hasn’t necessarily been fair, but it’s been there.
Jennifer Lopez was on the red carpet at the premiere of Affleck’s film Air. She gave the impression in a series of Dunkin Donuts ads that surely drew more attention to Affleck because she was in them. It’s not the same to sit down and do interviews for your spouse’s multidisciplinary autobiographical musical film project, interviews that Affleck obviously didn’t need to do, but it’s nothing.
It is true that Affleck’s career has not been in the spotlight, perhaps for one or the other, there is little controversy about it. Perhaps Matt Damon just needs to say that he doesn’t think she’s done enough for his friend. The purpose is to get Affleck to continue his own career now, as that’s what Damon says his friend Ed will continue to be.
If Matt Damon actually questioned Lopez about Affleck’s career, it would possibly only be because it’s the kind of thing you might say to help your friend in a scenario like this, regardless of the veracity of that statement. Damon focuses on Affleck’s sobriety.
Although Ben Affleck has been sober for a few years, none of us know how strong that cycle is right now, and the end of a relationship and a marriage, which we seem to see, is the kind of thing that pushes other people who never they have done. had substance abuse problems to such things, not to mention those who have already had problems.
We don’t know where this is all going, but everyone involved hopes Ben Affleck stays sober. If he has to focus on the task at hand to achieve it, we hope he does it.
