Jennifer Garner is speaking out on how the paparazzi have impacted her life and the lives of her three children: Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8.
“For 10 years, there were at the very least six cars and often 20 outside of our house, and outside of school, and at the pediatrician’s,” she said on PBS’ Tell Me More With Kelly Corrigan. “And you’re begging them, ‘Please step aside from the pediatrician’s door. I have a sick kid. Please.’”
“It’s a cost of doing business but it just got to be ridiculous,” Jennifer added, saying they were “causing car accidents all the time.”
“I’d go through a yellow light and there would be 15 cars that would go through the red light without compunction,” Jennifer said. “Anywhere that we went it was a total circus. My one daughter tried to play soccer and it was such a zoo for the families that they just said, ‘Can you please not.’”
“I just loathe them so much and what they do, but there are a couple of them that have been with me for so long,” Jennifer said. “They’ve been assigned to me for 15 years. One of them said to me one day, ‘You don’t know how much we love watching you with your children. You don’t know how much we respect you.’”
“They do know me better than anyone knows me,” Jennifer concluded. “They go everywhere where I go. They’ve seen me strap kids into cars, they’ve seen me pregnant, they’ve seen me at the store.”
If you missed it, Jennifer recently explained why she keeps her kids, who she shares with Ben Affleck, out of the public eye.
