During an Awards Chatter podcast by The Hollywood Reporter, the actor Ben Affleck has indicated that the failure of their relationship with Jennifer Lopez it was due to the constant persecution of the press, which he said constantly attacked the actress.
Recall that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez formed one of the strongest couples in Hollywood in 2002, a year in which they also engaged, although by 2004 celebrities decided to end their relationship months after postponing their wedding.
“People were so bad with her: sexist, racist … They wrote such ugly and vicious things about her in a way that if you wrote them now, they would literally fire you for saying those things,” Ben Affleck commented.
While Affleck acknowledged that JLo is currently respected, the actor said that even now: “You have more chances, coming from the Bronx, of ending up as (Judge Sonia) Sotomayor in the Supreme Court than of having the career as Jennifer Lopez and being who she is today at 50 “.
And she added: “Now she is being praised and respected for all her work she has done, where she comes from, what she has achieved. That’s how it should always have been!”
