“It’s part of why I started drinking,” Affleck told Stern. “Because I was trapped.”
Affleck took to “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday to clarify his statements.
“I never want my kids to think that I’ll ever say a bad word about their mom,” he told Kimmel.
Affleck shares three children with Garner.
Affleck said that after investigating why he had an “honest” interview, he came to the conclusion that his words had been changed to “clickbait.”
“He literally took my conversation for two hours, and it sounded like I was saying the exact opposite of what I was saying,” he said. “I went ahead and said, like, how much we respect each other and care about each other and care about our kids and put them first and go through our stuff. And he said That I blamed my ex-wife for my alcoholism and that I was ‘trapped’ and made me the worst, most insensitive, stupid horrible man I can be.”
He said: “It’s not true. I don’t believe in that. It’s the exact opposite of who I am and what I believe.”
After Kimmel was told that Affleck was furious by talking about the subject, Affleck admitted, “It hurt my feelings, man.”
