When a Hollywood couple is having problems, the spotlight is shining on them very brightly. Nobody knows this better than Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who are in the middle of it with their own family problems.
There has been speculation about their relationship for quite some time but now that the divorce papers are filed, we see that things are moving forward in that way. In the past year, however, things took an ugly turn when they had a very open and public argument in front of the paparazzi.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were having a fight on the street and it was there for everyone to see. Of course, the paparazzi were all too happy to film the occasion and even people passing by could grab moments of it on their cell phones. It wasn’t long before social media was buzzing.
When a couple has an argument in public, it can be somewhat scandalous but when it is a celebrity couple, it makes the headlines. It also is a good reminder that, despite their celebrity status, they are really just people and sometimes these things get away from them.
Reports say that the argument they had quickly developed into a frenzy. According to witnesses, they were using profanity and it was quite a dramatic event. Although it probably isn’t uncommon for celebrity couples to have their arguments, when it happens in public, it causes people to wonder about what is really taking place.
Because these videos were being posted on social media instantly, many were commenting on the difficulties the couple was facing. They put themselves up for public scrutiny and social media was all too happy to step in and debate the topic.
After such a public display, the two celebrities had to deal with the fallout. The incident may have caused them to see the need to address their issues in a more private venue. They are likely considering how to handle it at this point.
For the public, it is just another scene in the drama that has been their lives and their marriage. It’s unlikely that we are going to hear a lot about this from either of them, but we certainly did get an earful while it was taking place.
