Violet Affleck is detailing a month of arguments she had with her famous mother, Jennifer Garner, while they were cooped up in a hotel room, displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires in January — a time when many families also faced questions about homeowners insurance, emergency evacuation coverage, and natural disaster health impacts.
The eldest child of the “13 Going on 30” star and Ben Affleck recalled the disagreement in an academic research paper published in Yale University’s Global Health Review earlier this week, titled “A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles.”
She candidly notes:
“I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room.”
She describes her mom as “shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised” her kids — but to Violet, there was no need to be surprised at all.
