Stassi Schroeder believes Ben Affleck is the problem in his failed romance with Jennifer Lopez.

“I love J.Lo. I am inspired by J.Lo,” she shared enthusiastically before saying Affleck was the potential source of tension in their marriage.

“Oh, 100 percent. Because I also think that Ben Affleck, he’s a major part of the problem,” Schroeder explained, taking issue with his demeanor in public.

“He could never just smile in a photo with her. He always had to make it look like she was making him [miserable],” she added.

Schroeder also mentioned Affleck should understand what it's like to be in the limelight after all these years.

Schroeder urged the Batman star to “do her a solid” and show his support to his ex.
