"We're all rooting for Ben"
Yeah sure you are pal. That's why you're following the guy and filming him at his most vulnerable moments. Ben Affleck needs to get away from Hollywood and get himself healthy and happy because parties and casinos dont a healthy human being make. He should get rid of the party girls aswell, they dont care shit about him.

[MrEleeo]

I would love to see a TMZ piece on some of the TMZ crew.

[Sandra-lbpu]

They're rooting for him yet they choose to rat him out for applause. Who's the addict now TMZ?!!

[c.j.]

Yeah your rooting for him to make a complete fool out of himself so your pockets can get a little bit deeper.

[byronbarnes]

Let him live his life. It's not news

[actionjacksondan]

Can you imagine being hounded by these vultures while hung over, fully aware of you mistakes. Gotta respect his composure

[jayj]

Could you imagine if these nerds were watching you constantly in case you got wobbly for 10 seconds or so after leaving a bar or restaurant? And then tried to make a crisis of it?

[sandrag]

I was more disappointed that His chick just left him and jumped in the ride. I mean she could have gave him a hand and helped him to the car so he didn’t look like a drunk 🤦🏽‍♀️ He’s good enough to pay for your drinks, get u VIP treatment, taxi your ass around, but you can’t help a guy out?!? She’s the wrong one to spend any time with.

Praying for Ben and anyone struggling with alcoholism. It’s hell, people.

[Fariselail]

Leave him the hell alone. This tells you that he is genuine at heart.
I love his honesty.

[baronobo]

I'm genuinely more worried about the well-being of the people involved in reporting these types of stories than of the subjects of the stories themselves.

[DDee-oikn]

Alcoholism is a disease - when you've grown up with an alcoholic parent - see this is really sad, especially for his kids.

[rickiemarty]

Addiction is and most of all catastrophic. Prayers to all trying to beat theirs.

[multiestonian]

Imagine having a hangover and having to deal with people who won't stop asking questions.

[lillianalvarez]

I feel so sad that he has this illness - prayers for Ben for his healing and sobriety

[nicolairomanoff]

Taking a picture or video of someone who are at their vulnerable state is the worst, what is even worse is when they show it for the world to see.

[southernreptiles]

Addiction to heroin will take your soul. Alcoholism is even worse. Your dealer is in every shopping plaza, gas station, and party/event you go to. The guy is one of the greatest actors but alcoholism doesn’t discriminate. You can be from a park bench or Park Avenue. Hope you find peace Ben.

[paulevans]

I'm an alcoholic and been sober on and off for the past 20 years. Best of luck to Ben great actor been in a lot of classic movies but I can only imagine dealing with the disease of addiction and being a celebrity smh

[Ghost-Mama]

I'm PROUD of him now! He has made great strides to face his addiction and recover since this video. He's faced it head on and got to the root of the addiction. Childhood trauma from parental addictions. He's not normalizing this behavior as His parents did because he wants to be a great dad! That's a BIG step in recovery.
