Affleck’s appearance at the Grammys comes after a video showing him protesting to Lopez for not drinking while they attended a party went viral on TikTok. The star has been open about his alcohol addiction in the past.

Lopez is then seen raising the glass and making eye contact with Affleck as she carefully samples the drink before putting it down as her husband yells, “Jen!”
A number of TikTok users slammed Lopez, suggesting she wasn’t supporting Affleck by drinking alcohol. Others insisted Lopez actually tasted the drink to check if it contained alcohol. Affleck, who has spoken out about his alcoholism, has been to rehab several times.
news week had previously reached out to Affleck and Lopez representatives for comment.
Affleck last entered rehab for alcohol addiction in August 2018 after his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, performed an intervention. Photos showed the two on their way to a treatment facility in Malibu, California.
The screen star first entered a rehabilitation facility in 2001. In March 2017, he announced on Facebook that he had completed treatment.
“I completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I have dealt with in the past and will continue to confront,” he wrote. “I want to live life to the fullest and be the best dad I can be.”
The father of three added: “I want my children to know that there is no shame in getting help when you need it and that they are a resource for everyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.”
Affleck tied the knot with him last summer Gigli co-star Lopez, with whom he was first romantically linked two decades ago. The couple married in July.
