Ben Affleck got into a heated exchange with a group of paparazzi, who he felt were causing a safety hazard outside his and Jennifer Lopez’s home this weekend.
While leaving the $60.8-million mansion in Beverly Hills on Sunday, Ben pulled over and exited his car to reprimand a group of photographers whose camera flashes made it difficult for him to see as he drove down a hill in the dark.
“You’re gonna get me into an accident,” he can be heard telling one photographer in a video clip of the incident obtained by TMZ. “Don’t flash your lights when someone is driving down the driveway.”
While walking back to his vehicle, Ben emphasized that he was also looking out for his daughter's safety, who he noted would soon be coming down the driveway as well.
“If you flash the lights on her, you’re putting her in danger,” he told the group at the bottom of the hill, referring to one of his two teenage daughters he shares with his ex, Jennifer Garner. “Do you understand that?”
The exchange comes amid a reportedly stressful time in Ben’s life due to alleged issues in his marriage to J.Lo, who was not at their home at the time of the paparazzi incident.
Following reports that Ben and J.Lo — who married in 2022 — are “living separate lives,” Jen is currently vacationing in Europe. Just yesterday, she was seen attending the Dior fashion show in Paris, with sources claiming she’s enjoying “some breathing room.”
Earlier this month, it was also reported that Ben and Jen are “quietly” attempting to sell their shared home, outside of which Ben confronted the paparazzi. They purchased the property in May last year and moved in soon after.
