-Here comes the Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner spin machine! His camp seems to be doing most of the heavy lifting for now, insisting that the split has less to do with his drinking & gambling and more to do with her career insecurities and his busy schedule. (Uh huh. Sure. Let’s go with that.) They’re also trying to play it like they’ve been consciously uncoupled for 10 months. (Yeah, no.) People (who are so deep in Affleck’s camp, they’ve set up tents and are hosting nightly campfire singalongs) are running stories about how he “really tried to save the marriage” and slut-shame-y galleries about Garner’s past romances. Whatever, People. Any attempts to make us not like her can be automatically nullified with this photo.
