The Twitterverse has had it out for Ben Affleck these past few days for his comments on the Howard Stern Show. In particular, audiences took offense to how Ben appeared to blame his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, for his drinking problems during the interview. To quote, Ben said that he'd "probably still be drinking" if he and Garner were still married. However, it appears that this was not Ben's intention, as he explains in another interview.
Ben Affleck defends himself after Howard Stern Show interview
A few days after Ben Affleck's controversial interview on the Howard Stern Show went viral, he went and popped up on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Naturally, the talk show host couldn't help but ask the guest actor about the interview.
According to Ben, it's "not true" that he was blaming his ex-wife for his alcoholism. He says that "it's the exact opposite" of who he was and what he believed in. He also added that he'd never want his kids to think that he'd "ever say a bad word about their mom."
