Violet Affleck Leans on Beloved Grandmother Amid Climate Controversy
VIOLET AFFLECK SPOTTED SOAKING UP THE SUN IN LA
The 19-year-old daughter of Hollywood A-listers Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner was seen enjoying some well-deserved downtime in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Wednesday. Violet, who just completed her freshman year at Yale University in Connecticut, was spotted getting lunch with a family member, giving fans a glimpse into her carefree summer break.
The teenager's choice of companion for the afternoon was none other than her grandfather Ben Affleck's mother, Chris Boldt - a Harvard-educated elementary school teacher. And what a stylish duo they made! Chris looked chic in a white cardigan and slacks paired with black strappy wedge heels, while Violet opted for a more bohemian vibe in a black shirt with a long floral-print skirt, white sneakers, and her trusty Chloe purse on her shoulder.
But what's really got tongues wagging is Violet's recent essay controversy. The teenager sparked outrage among fans when she candidly revealed a disagreement she had with her mother, Jennifer Garner, in a paper for her university's Global Health Review. The essay, titled "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles," detailed the devastating LA fires in January and how Violet's family was forced to evacuate.
Violet's candid admission of a disagreement with her mom has left fans shocked, especially considering their close relationship. But it seems like the Affleck-Garner clan is navigating new waters - or rather, new relationships. Ben Affleck's recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year has left both parties single once again.
And what about Violet's mom? Sources close to the family reveal that Jennifer Garner has been dating CEO John Miller for several years now and they're reportedly living together. This latest development has fans wondering if Violet is finally adjusting to her parents' separate lives.
But what really caught our attention was Violet's recent designer fashion splurge! The teenager was spotted wearing a pair of Chloe Nama shoes worth a staggering $800, according to the brand's official website. She was also seen with a vintage Chloe Marcie Bucket Bag, which can be purchased at a resale price for around $1,000.
Critics were quick to pounce on Violet's expensive fashion choices, wondering how she could justify wearing such luxury items while advocating for climate change awareness. But insiders claim that both items may have been recycled from her mom's closet - talk about a clever solution!
Last year, Jennifer Garner opened up to People magazine about raising her three kids and the challenges of letting them make their own decisions as they grow older. "I'm just watching them in this new phase of life where they're figuring out who they're going to be and what they're going to study," she revealed.
Garner confessed that it's hard for her not to intervene, saying, "I have a really hard time not saying, 'This is what I see you as,' and 'I think you should.' I really have to sit on my hand." It seems like Violet is learning to navigate this newfound independence - but with designer duds and lavish lifestyles, we wonder if she's truly committed to the climate change cause.
