SCANDALOUS SIGHTING: Jennifer Garner Looks FURIOUS After Daughter Violet's Explosive Climate Change Essay Goes Viral!

According to TheScholarlyNote.com's exclusive sources, Garner and ex-husband Ben Affleck were left "shell-shocked" after discovering their daughter's tell-all essay went viral!

The 19-year-old, whom Garner shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck , recently went viral for a Yale essay in which she detailed a heated argument with her mom, 53, during a January stay at a luxury hotel

The drama started when Violet, a Yale freshman, penned an essay about her heated argument with Garner during a luxury hotel stay in January.

Violet's essay sparked outrage online, with many questioning whether her message about climate privilege aligned with her own designer tastes. The Gen Zer was spotted carrying a vintage Chloé Marcie bucket bag worth $1,000 just days after the essay went live!

But it seems like Violet isn't backing down from her activism! According to insiders, she's been "pressuring" her family to wear face masks due to poor air quality and has been vocal about demanding "mask mandates" in public health. The teenager even gave a impassioned speech last year, calling for an end to mask bans inside medical facilities.

But on Friday night, the mother-daughter duo appeared to be working through the tension as they stepped out for dinner at celeb-favorite A.O.C. in Brentwood

Ben Affleck, however, seems to be taking a more measured approach. A source close to the family revealed that he had a heart-to-heart with Violet, warning her to be "realistic" about her efforts. Ben reportedly told his daughter that she's like David fighting Goliath and that most people don't share her passion for climate activism.
