Ben Affleck is making headlines left and right this week. The actor stunned fans when he appeared at the roast of Tom Brady and shared a bizarre rant on television. Affleck appeared at the event without his wife, Jennifer Lopez. During his on-stage moment, he confused viewers by slamming online critics instead of making jokes about the guest of honor. In addition, his look sparked plastic surgery rumors. The following day, fans expected to see the director walk the red carpet at the Met Gala with JLo. However, he was a no-show, fueling rumors about his marriage and recent behavior.
According to Yahoo, Affleck was forced to skip the Met Gala due to work obligations. However, it may be much more than that. Sources reveal that the actor is taking some time away from Lopez and their high-profile marriage.
