Jen Affleck is addressing two videos she posted last week showing her ex, Zac Affleck, criticizing her housework and postpartum body.
THE The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives The star, 27, shared two pointed clips on her TikTok account on Thursday November 5 and Friday November 6 depicting unsavory moments from her seven-year marriage to Zac, 30 days after filing for divorce.
In one, recorded a few weeks after Jen gave birth, Zac told her that her breasts were “sagging everywhere” and that she “wouldn’t want to post that.” In another, Zac seemed frustrated after Jen pointed out that she had always done all of their family’s laundry when he asked if there were any clean towels.
Jen first recognized the clips while attending a taping of Dancing with the stars on Tuesday, November 10, during a behind-the-scenes TikTok live stream hosted by Ezra Sosa and Hailey Bills.
In the livestream – excerpts of which were later reposted by fans – Sosa asked Jen: “Let’s talk about your social media engagement – are we going to get more messages like that this week?

“Let’s not talk about my TikTok videos,” she responded with a laugh. “I was a little petty, I’m not going to lie. I’m going through some things.”
Since Jen shared the clips, Zac — with whom she shares daughter Nora, 5, son Luca, 3, and daughter Penelope, 1 — has issued several public apologies.
He first addressed the videos in a comment on TikTok on November 5, writing that its language was “obviously horrible and should never have been said.”

On November 6, he issued a longer public apology to Jen, writing on TikTok that watching the clips “hurts so much.”
“I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you. I’m sorry for dimming your light. I’m sorry for being so young and immature. I’m sorry for not being able to make the changes I needed to make. And I’m sorry for letting things get to this point,” Zac wrote. “I can’t change the past, but I can promise to continue working on myself and do everything I can to be the best father, co-parent and friend in the future.”
