CelebNMusic247.com reports that Ben Affleck checked into a facility after an intervention by estranged wife Jennifer Garner at his Pacific Palisades home Wednesday.
Without Jennifer in his life, Ben Affleck is basically a mess. He has been self-destructing and is in a bad place since he broke up with “Saturday Night Live” producer Lindsay Shookus.
PageSix reports that a Hollywood insider revealed:
Ben’s issues with substance abuse seem to reach a destructive phase when he’s not working. His addiction doesn’t seem as powerful when he is working.
He has continued to work. He just wrapped “Triple Frontier” in May and Dee Rees’ “The Last Thing He Wanted” with Anne Hathaway in July. But working is the only time he keeps things together. When he is on his downtime between films he needs his sober coach.
The site revealed:
Ben has a substance abuse problem with alcohol, which has been on and off for a very long time; he’s been battling these demons for years.
He’s currently in rehab, and it’s likely he’ll be in and out of treatment more times in the future. But the good news is that this doesn’t affect his work. He’s an Oscar-winning director, he’s well liked in Hollywood, and there’s a lot of sympathy for him — he’s still working, people want to work with him.
We hope he gets it together.
