The trouble started when Garner made a veiled comment about Lopez turning Affleck into a laughingstock. This remark was seen as an insult by Lopez, who reportedly wants to unleash her true feelings about the situation. However, she is hesitant to make a public scene and will rely on Affleck to act as a referee between the two women.
This situation is said to be Affleck's worst nightmare, as he is caught in the middle of the conflict. There are fears that the two women will eventually clash, despite Garner's previous focus on developing a healthy relationship between her children and their new stepmom.
There are also rumors that Affleck and Lopez have been experiencing marital issues since their wedding last summer, with Lopez reportedly unhappy with her husband's attempts to quit his longtime nicotine habit. It remains to be seen how this situation will play out, but it is clear that Affleck is facing a difficult and uncomfortable position between the two women in his life.
