@dailymail: Ben Affleck told his daughter she needs to be 'realistic' about her campaigning and can't rely on his (or his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's) celebrity status. Violet Affleck, 18, made a plea to the governing body for Los Angeles County requiring mask mandates after contracting 'a post-viral condition' in 2019. A source told Daily Mail, Ben 'knows how strongly she feels about this, but now that Violet is an adult, he felt that it was his duty to let her know that she is David fighting Goliath and that most people unfortunately do not feel the same way she does about this.' #news #celebritynews #violetaffleck #benaffleck #jennifergarner #masks #losangeles #celebrity #parenting #family
