Ben Affleck Argues With Cops Two Days After FBI Visit

Ben Affleck is in the news again over his interaction with law enforcement officials after he was pictured having a heated exchange with police officers outside his home in Brentwood, California.

The actor’s interaction with the cops comes two days after reports revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited him over an issue.

Affleck was forced to evacuate his rented apartment amid the devastating wildfires and had to take shelter at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s residence for a while.

On Tuesday, Page Six obtained pictures that showed Affleck discussing with officers of the law outside of his Brentwood home.

The photos showed Affleck leaning out of his vehicle’s window to exchange words with two cops in a police cruiser.

The “Justice League” star seemed very animated as he spoke to the police officers. He stuck his arm out from the driver’s side of his BMW and gestured toward the exit at a point.

Although what the actor said to the cops remains unclear, an insider told the outlet that the officers were in the area because neighbors had private security scouting the vicinity, preventing residents from entering their homes.

The source revealed that Affleck was “talking to the police about the situation” but was eventually allowed to enter his residence.

Initial reports from the Daily Mail stated that it was unclear whether Affleck was at home when the law enforcement agents arrived at his “Bachelor’s Pad” home. However, they stayed at his gate for some time but seemingly didn’t get any response.

The officers reportedly used the call box next to Affleck’s gate but failed to open it. They then walked up to the gate to call over it but were also unsuccessful.

Despite concerns over the FBI’s visit to Affleck’s home, TMZ reported that he wasn’t in any sort of trouble as the agents were only there to investigate a collision between a drone and a firefighting aircraft.

According to the publication, the “Super Scooper” aircraft was helping to put out the devastating wildfires ravaging Los Angeles.

As the Los Angeles wildfires terrorized Pacific Palisades, Ben Affleck was forced to evacuate from his residence and took temporary shelter at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home. Affleck and Garner share three children, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

A source told Page Six that Affleck’s home remains under evacuation order, but “he feels so grateful his property is safe for the time being.”

The insider added, “Ben knows many people who unfortunately lost their homes. He has seen a lot of devastation, and it’s beyond tragic. … Ben is reaching out to anybody he can to help.”

As Ben Affleck fled his home amid the wildfires, his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez was reportedly worried about him after learning of his troubles.

A source told Page Six that the “All I Have” singer became stressed after news of Affleck reached her. She checked on him throughout his ordeal and “let him know she’s there for him and the kids.”

Lopez reportedly “offered support for whatever they need” and was willing to assist in any way she could.

Jennifer Lopez’s willingness to assist her ex-husband comes despite them finalizing their divorce on January 7.

Five months after announcing the end of their marriage, the former lovebirds reached a settlement mediated by renowned divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

Although Lopez and Affleck did not have a prenuptial agreement, they settled their divorce amicably, agreeing to keep all they earned individually during their marriage.

However, Lopez retained ownership of the $5.6 million diamond ring that Affleck used to propose to her.

The ex-couple were eager to remain friends after their divorce and took steps to leave their marriage amicably without a court battle.

An insider told In Touch that Lopez and Affleck never wanted to “get petty” and “actually parted as friends.”
