Roy Wood Jr. thinks Ben may have been ‘tampering’
The unexpected resurgence of Bennifer 17 years later became comedy material for everyone on the internet. Since his job is to criticize current events, The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. delivered one of the most – and gossipy – remarks. Affleck, he said, didn’t wait “until free agency officially began” to pursue Lopez.
It was a jab at modern professional sports’ hypersensitivity and the whispered report that Ben allegedly wrote Jennifer flirty emails referring to her as gorgeous and admitting he wanted to see her while she was still with ex-fiance Alex Rodriguez, who was desperately trying to save their relationship.
