Many of Jennifer Lopez’s friends and managers are said to dislike Ben Affleck, calling the actor a selfish person.

According to Page Six , Ben Affleck has never been well-liked by those close to Jennifer Lopez and is even more hated after this second breakup. Benny Medina, J.Lo’s longtime manager, is said to be the person who is most upset with Ben.

“The two of them can’t stand each other. They don’t get along and are still at odds,” a source said of Benny’s relationship with Ben.

Benny was instrumental in transforming J.Lo from a dancer to a global superstar in the late 1990s and also witnessed her relationship with Ben in the early 2000s. The singer stopped working with Benny in 2003. Sources say Ben Affleck was a factor in J.Lo’s decision. After J.Lo and Ben called off their engagement in 2004, the singer hired Benny as her manager. Since then, he has become one of her most trusted confidants.

However, when J.Lo reunited with Ben in 2021, Benny kept quiet. “His attitude was to say nothing. Not congratulating but not against it either. He knows J.Lo and knows she will marry Ben no matter what, so what’s the point of having an opinion?”, the source said.

In recent months, when J.Lo was rumored to be divorcing Ben, Benny Medina was often seen with Jennifer Lope

J.Lo’s other close friend, Leah Remini, is also said to have a bad impression of Ben. The source said Leah, who has been close to the singer since her time with Marc Anthony, advised J.Lo to think carefully before marrying the Batman actor and to reflect on the reasons for their breakup in the past.

“Leah thought Ben was selfish and not fully committed as a partner. J.Lo was angry and ended the relationship with Leah Remini,” the source said, revealing that J.Lo did not invite her friend to the wedding in August 2022.

According to insiders, the On the Floor singer reconciled with Leah earlier this year amid marital problems with Ben.

“No one, except Jennifer Lopez’s mother, likes Ben Affleck. He’s a grade-A asshole,” a second source confirmed.

According to Page Six , Jennifer Lopez herself is said to be angry at the way Ben has treated her recently. “He humiliated her. Ben was the one who took the initiative to get back with her,” the source said about Ben’s breakup with J.Lo.

Meanwhile, an anonymous friend said that regret over the breakup of their young love prompted J.Lo and Ben to reunite and get married despite their different personalities. The friend said that both Affleck and Lopez were immersed in nostalgia, the idea of ​​realizing a dream from two decades ago. “They have written a new chapter in a story that was unfinished more than 20 years ago. They have seen everything until the end and now know for sure that they cannot go the long way together. There are no unanswered questions. They have seen everything there is to see and it is over,” this person said.

However, a friend commented that this was “the most complicated and expensive exercise ever”.

In May, a source close to Affleck revealed: “If there was a way to get a divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it. He feels like the last two years have been a fever dream.”

The couple is selling their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion just a year after buying it. Ben Affleck just bought a $20 million home in Brentwood, near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has been looking at a few houses since returning to Los Angeles after a month-long vacation in The Hamptons. “Ben has found a new house, J.Lo is almost there. It’s done and they have no interest, desire or reason to go back,” the friend said.
