Ben and Jen’s united front

ACTORS BEN AFFLECK and JENNIFER GARNER (both 45) are trying to continue as normal in the face of his alleged groping scandal. The exes were seen taking their daughters, VIOLET (11) and SERAPHINA (8), for ice-cream in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Ben was spotted giving the mother of his kids a hug and a kiss on the head.

But an eyewitness said the Wakefield actress “looked to not enjoy the PDA” and is apparently furious with her ex, who’s facing his own sexual harassment scandal after denouncing embattled film producer Harvey Weinstein on Twitter. Actress Hilarie Burton (35) accused Ben of groping

her breast on a 2003 episode of MTV’s show Total Request Live. The Live by Night director then tweeted, “I acted inappropriately toward Ms Burton and I sincerely apologise.”

Two other alleged groping incidents have since come to light, one involving make-up artist Annamarie Tendler, who blasted Ben on Twitter. “I’d also love an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my a** at a Golden Globes party in 2014,” she wrote.

“He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack. I guess he tried to play it like he was politely moving me out of the way and oops, touched my butt instead of my lower back? Like most women in these situations I didn’t say anything but I’ve thought a lot about what I’d say if I ever saw him again.”
