Jennifer Garner is 'very annoyed' over Ben Affleck's groping scandals
Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner is reportedly not happy over the groping scandals surrounding her ex-husband Ben Affleck. The actor was grilled on social media after condemning Harvey Weinstein's "unacceptable" behavior amid accusations of his longtime sexual misconduct against women.
On Tuesday, Affleck expressed his disgust over the misbehavior of producer Weinstein. However, a Twitter user reminded the actor of the groping incident where he allegedly grabbed Hilarie Burton's breast in 2003. Netizens then started sharing the old video that showed the scene where Affleck groped the host.

Apparently, the video went viral, and Affleck was condemned over the incident. He soon tweeted, "I acted inappropriately towards Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize." Later that day, the televised interview of the actor and the Canadian TV host Anne-Marie Losique in 2004 reappeared on social media, stirring controversy of his misconduct. In the clip, he was seen flirting with the host and getting cozy with her on his lap.

To add more fuel to the fire, makeup artist Annamarie Tendler also tweeted, "I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my a** at a Golden Globes party in 2014." But then, the actor did not comment on the allegation. Though it was the actor's purpose to condemn the acts of Weinstein, his own groping-related incidents came to light.

With all the issues surrounding Affleck, his former wife Garner is said to be "very annoyed." The actress is not happy with the groping scandals because it means more media attention on her and their children. The source of E! News revealed, "She tries to shield them from any and all publicity and scrutiny. She is taking her kids to school and to all of their activities."
The informant further added, "As far as they know nothing has changed and all is well. That is always her goal but she's been pretty frustrated with him." Affleck and Garner have been co-parenting their children since they announced their separation in 2015.
