Ben just blew that up too."

"I was like 'I can't leave 'cause of my kids, but I'm not happy, what do I do?'" The 49-year-old told the famed radio host. "What I did was drink a bottle of scotch and fall asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution."

Lopez isn't the only one that felt the need to set the record straight regarding the bombshell interview. The Argo star opened up during an appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on how the media misconstruing his words truly "hurt his feelings."

"They had, literally, taken the conversation I had for two hours and made it seem as if I was saying the exact opposite of what I said," he told Kimmel. "I had gone on and said, like, how much we respect each other and cared about each other and cared about our kids and put them first and went through our stuff."

"And they said I had blamed my ex wife for my alcoholism and that I was 'trapped' and just made me out to be the worst, most insensitive, stupid awful guy." He continued. "It's not true. I don't believe that. It's the exact opposite of who I am and what I believe."

Affleck — who shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12 and Samuel, 9, with Garner — added: "I would never want my kids to think I would ever say a bad word about their mom."
