It seems that boiling point could soon arrive between Jennifer Lopez and the ex-partner of her husband, Ben Affleck.

According to RadarOnline, the feud between Lopez and Jennifer Garner began when the latter suggested that Lopez had turned Affleck into a laughingstock.

A source close to the situation has suggested that Lopez would love to really reveal what she thinks of Garner after the ex explained that she does not like to see stories about Affleck and Lopez in the press, even if they are good ones.

“I really work hard not to see either of us in the press,” Garner shared about her and Ben, 50. “It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something nice about one of us.

“I don’t need to see anyone in my family made into a meme. Although, I’m sure he’s quite meme-worthy, yes!”

The source has suggested that the latter part of that quote, whilst being dressed up as a complement, is really ‘a real F-you as far as JLo sees it’.

“It’s Jennifer’s way of saying Ben looks miserable and all his appearances in public are lame. How could JLo not take it personally?” the source said.

“Part of her wants to fire back and tell Jennifer off, but she’s smart enough not to make too much of a scene publicly. So it’ll be up to Ben to play referee.”

Affleck in a tough position

Given she is the mother of his children, Affleck does not want to be in this sort of position.

“It’s Ben‘s worst nightmare,” said the insider. “It’s just a matter of time before those two women butt heads.”
