Blind Items Revealed

January 12, 2007

Hit television shows and hit movies, a new dream husband. This B list actress thought she had it all. She thought she knew the guy she was marrying, but it turns out he kept something very secret from her and might as well have been a stranger. When they were dating she always thought it was cute that he wanted to wait until marriage before living together. The reason he did not want to though was his drug problem. Going home everyday allowed to him to medicate until they got married. When they got married he would wait until she left for work, and then get his fix. One day she came home early and his secret was out. She made him go to rehab and he readily agreed. When he came out, everything was fine for a few months but he relapsed. Not wanting to give up and believing that marriage is for life, she made him go to rehab again. Since his release in the last year, she has taken him everywhere including work. Instead of take your daughter to work day, she has made it take your husband everywhere you go. People not close to her assume it is because they are in love. The reality is she does not trust him or want him out of her sight. So far so good, but how long can she be a babysitter to her husband instead of a wife?

Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner

Wow. That's sad.

NaughtyNurse said...

And I was first!!!!!

Beetlejuice said...

Who isn't flawed?

Still directs some pretty good movies.

melissa said...

I had thought his issue was booze for some reason

What kind of drugs do you suppose?

Kudos for JG for getting him help

Unknown said...

Wait, who thought it was because they were in love? No one thought that. They thought it was because he doesn't have a detachable peen for her to remove so he can't use it while she's gone...

TaterOnTheCouch said...

Marriage is for life? Wasn't she married to Scott Foley previously?

NaughtyNurse said...

Sounds like a heroin issue to me.

AJ said...

It makes his acceptance speach a lot more poignant.

angie said...

Apparently they do love each other because both their relationship and his career have flourished since this was written. I love blind items, but could do without the judgement and sermonizing.

FrenchGirl said...

when someone write "get his fix",i think "heroin".
i don't think Affleck had a heroin problem.Maybe he did coke when he was drunk but not heroin (it's just my opnion)
i think it's known that Affleck has been in rehab for booze at the begining of his marriage

Violet said...

Ahhhh, no, I think that's 'lovely'. It's what you would do for your life partner. Good on her, she got him help and she stuck with it - good times and bad, isn't that what a proper marriage is about? It's what I'd do for Mr V (and vice versa)

figgy said...

Whaaaaaat??!!

How is he functioning so highly if he is/was an addict? What was his addiction?

The Real Dragon said...

Sue me I ike them together. we a got problem. nice that she hep him out. he seems better now We I hope he hasn't using.

MISCH said...

It's sad but he's lucky he married someone who cares enough to help him through it.

surfer said...

Wasn't he known to have a gambling problem?

The Real Dragon said...

I meant *we all got problems*

KLM said...

Yeah, I agree with MISCH. I actually feel like this is a kindness blind on JG.

keetz4 said...

Excuse me but how can acting like a parent and towing your husband behind while you work or shop be a good thing. If a person wants to kick an addiction, they have to want to do it.........and not depend on their significant other acting like their mom.

HannahBanana said...

Wow, I never would've guessed this. I just figured they got together cuz Bens rep was shit from that Jho business & her marriage to Scott foley ended over Micheal Vartan....sounds like she really does care about him. I hope he fully appreciates what her influence has done for him.

Tru Leigh said...

Apparently long enough to get knocked up again.

AJ said...

They have multiple children. I doubt they'd bring that many kids into the world if they didn't care about each other. It's also obvious how much they dote on their kids by all the pap photos of them out & about.

VintagePrincess said...

The reason I like Ben & Jen is that their kids have huge smiles on their faces every time they're papped. A lotof celebrity kids look miserable. The Garner-Affleck kids look happy and well-adjusted.

Topper Madison said...

What kind of crap is this?

I remember Ben going through rehab BEFORE they even dated. I remember statements from his family stressing about how his father was an alcoholic and they've been around this disease a long time, etc. So, if I knew about it, it couldn't have been a surprise to Jennifer when they started dating.

And they got married because Jennifer was pregnant, so I assume there must have been some sleep-overs before the wedding.

Sophie Helene said...

I think they work great as a family. She seems like a great mom. I don't buy their marriage though. he doesn't seem half as committed to her as she is to the marriage.
There are always blinds about him cheating and spending time away from the home. It seems she got herself a teenage boy to marry and that she is mothering him. She probably helped him, but that does not a healthy marriage make.

angie said...

omg Madison. You are 100% correct on all counts. And another blind bites the dust, lol

Anonymous said...

And there was me thinking his vices were boozing and womanizing

Bunni said...

I call b.s. on this. I highly doubt that he was using heroin. I'm not keen on thread 2007 reveals. It seems like this site is taking a downward turn. I haven't complained about the terrible grammar until now. Repeat reveals, and now reveals so ancient no one cares anymore. This scenario is a stretch at best. Ben probably didn't want to move in because he had a side piece. Is bet rehab was for booze & maybe coke, definitely not heroin.

angie said...

@Bunni, I think it was probably coke too, although the language used seemingly alludes to heroin. Read Topper Madison's comment. The blind is mostly fiction.

evie2345 said...

Agreed, his past issues would be no surprise to her.
Considering this blind is almost 7 years old, it is interesting to see them still together and I would guess happy, and how well his career is doing now.

PookieTwo said...

Agree with others here, Ben has dealt with gambling, booze, coke and likely sex addictions, but I don't believe he was ever on the horse as they say. Could it be pills? Prescrip meds. This blind was a year before Heath Ledger od'ed on the same.

Cleodacat said...

While the site has been changing lately, it's nice to see old blinds get wrapped up as opposed to never revealed. Some have mentioned that there's no way someone could function with that kind of addiction but there are some high functioning addicts out the (i.e. PSH and a rumored Angie B.) I am glad Ben seemes to have gotten his act together and very likely has Jen to thank for it. Lastly, would folks that keep bitching about the site just go ahead and go elsewhere...it should be obvious by now that Enty could care less of your opinion (or he/she would've changed things). Adapt or Move on! Rant over :-)

RowdyRodimus said...

All I can say is that if he fucks up Batman, rehab and drug use will be the least of his problems lol

auntliddy said...

Def an addictive personality, but he wrks at it and she loves him. Kids do always look happy, I like that too. Not like Sur, who looks at you with deathray eyes, lol

auntliddy said...

Oh rowdy, affleck doing batman has bomb written all over it. Like clooney. Bad choice he made.

Tru said...

@Bunny I agree, 2007 is as lame as 1987. I've been hoping somebody would mention this.

it took forever said...

Never would have guessed them

Kelly said...

Why does everyone like Jennifer so much? She's a cheater too. She also is not supposed to be nice. I bet it's the dimples. Everyone loves dimples. LOL

AIP said...

Whoa! Sad if true. That being said it could explain his quite dramatic changes in size and appearance sometimes - he looked unwell in "He's Not That Into You" for example.

Unknown said...

drugs, strippers, gambling... ben sounds like real catch.

Reese said...

I remember an older BI about these two where he was bored to death with her and was hanging out with strippers and regretting he ever married her. Agree that if Batman is a bomb, Ben is going to need more than a full-time babysitter.

Alita said...

I read it as revealed because it's behind them now, whatever the poison was. And good luck to them.

__-__=__ said...

I read heroin other places. Reason why he and Damon stopped working together.

Bunni said...

I understand why people bitch about the site, but its annoying. People bitching about those that state their opinions are missing the point of the comment section. That's their comment/opinion, they have a right to it. If you don't like it, then why don't you go to another site. FFS. Back on topic, I thought the reason Ben stopped working with others was because he started taking himself too seriously. That's what Kevin Smith said.

Kathleen said...

She believes marriage is forever ... except for that time she left her first husband to shack up with her co-star.

Aoife said...

Sounds like heroin to me.

Never heard this in relation to him before.

Bubbles said...

Looks like JLo dodged a bullet with that one for sure.

And does one self medicate with something that has no medicinal purposes as I don't think heroin or coke are used in the modern age of medicine

angie said...

@Bubbles, excellent point re Enty's medicating comment, which now has me thinking Ben may have been dependent the prescription drug Oxycontin, a poppy plant derivative. It fits the blind wording perfectly.

Brenda L said...

If he had to wait until she left for "his fix"....he's not popping pills...anyone can do that on the sly. Why would people have a problem believing a star was dabbling in heroin? It's been happening to stars better than Ben Affleck for years and years....

librariantobe said...

@RenoBlonde, I don't like her. She is the fakest fake Southern Belle in Hollywood (aside from Reese Witherspoon) but I loathe Affleck too so whatever, they deserve each other IMO.

PS said...

The thing I don't understand is that 1. She believes marriage is forever, when she was already married and divorced, and 2. That she believed it aa sold fashion manners as to why he didn't want to live together before massage, when he had no problem knocking her up before marriage or even engagement, nor even having dated very long. Doesn't really add up...

Henriette said...

I always thought their marriage was one of matching ambitions. He needed to clean-up his image after the JBlow debacle, and Garner wanted more movie roles. I definitely don't get a lot of love between them, especially when Affleck only brings out his kids around award seasons.
