“To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely,” the movie star and director clarified following backlash from his 2021 interview with Howard Stern.
“The point that I was trying to make was a sad one,” he clarified.
“Anyone who’s been through divorce makes that calculus of, ‘How much do we try?’ We loved each other. We care about each other. We have respect for each other.” Affleck then further explained, “I was trying to say, ‘Hey, look, I was drinking too much, and the less happy you become, whether it’s your job, your marriage, it’s just that as your life becomes more difficult, if you’re doing things to fill a hole that aren’t healthy, you’re going to start doing more of those things.’ I think I was pretty articulate about that.”
Affleck previously told Howard Stern of his marriage with Garner, “Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped.”When the “Good Will Hunting” star went on Stern’s radio show, he said “part” of the reason he started drinking was because he felt “trapped” in his marriage with Garner, 50.“It’s disgusting,” one industry insider previously told Page Six in December 2021.GC Images
