A Literally Messy Divorce

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] Since filing for divorce from his actress wife, this prominent film actor is having trouble doing basic things. 

Like eating and bathing.

He’s not eating regular meals and it’s usually junk food, so he’s having trouble with his weight and his clothes don’t fit properly. He sometimes doesn’t bathe for a few days at a time. He smells bad a lot. You have to remind him to take a shower and shave and put on clean clothes.

That’s not all.

His place is a mess, too. He doesn’t even want the housekeeper in there, so the garbage doesn’t get taken out and it stinks. There are clothes and scripts and food containers piled on the floors and the counters. Not like a hoarder with rats or anything, but like someone who just doesn’t care.

[Optional] Do you think that this is just him being single? Or is there something else going on?

SOLVED!

Actor: Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck is messy.

Messy marriage, messy divorce, messy affairs, messy gambling, messy alcoholic.

While he and Jennifer Garner were in the throes of their divorce, he could not hold it together.

When he ate, he ate junk food (e.g. Jack In The Box twice a day). He drank heavily, he wore the same clothes day after day, and he often forgot to shower or bathe.

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you about this back in 2017. Up top is a photo of Affleck from January 2018. Note the ill-fitting clothing.

Affleck’s personal hygiene is now getting some more mainstream media attention, so we are now ready to SOLVE this blind item!

From People:

Ben Affleck Had Been ‘Drinking Alone for Days’ Before Heading Back to Rehab, Says Source

Ben Affleck was on a downward spiral in the days leading to his return to rehab.

“Ben had been drinking alone for days,” a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “He was in bad shape. He had barely been eating and had not showered. It didn’t take much convincing. He wanted to go, and he cooperated.”

Affleck entered rehab on Aug. 22 with a second source telling PEOPLE, “He knew he needed help and was vocal about it.”

By his side was ex Jennifer Garner, also 46, who arrived at his home with an addiction therapist at her side. Garner drove the actor to a Malibu treatment center the same day.

The actor previously spent time in rehab in 2001 and 2017.

We wish Ben well in his recovery.

Congratulations to CyndiTx123 for being first with the correct answer!

    Brad Pitt

    sounds like hes been hit by the major depression stick. damn. hope he picks himself up from this, but its an uphill battle every day with high winds blowing against you. wish him luck in recovery…

  3. radmom says

    Although Ben and Brad are messy and smelly, I’m going with Depp. I just read that he and his financial team are in a legal battle against each other. They’ve accused him of being too lazy to learn his lines, and that he wears an earpiece to be fed his dialogue!

  4. Xanadu says

    Depp

    I know he’s famous for liking a drop, but I think it’s also meth or heroin. His weight fluctuations, the state of his teeth, anger, losing millions of dollars and just generally being unkempt. You don’t see many actors who let their teeth go… and his devoted fans will say it’s all due to his devotion to his “craft”.

  5. dagnabbit11 says

    I’d guess Brad as well – going from being surrounded by your kids to being alone must be incredibly depressing and a terrible jolt.

  6. Marvella says

    It’s Brad Pitt. He’s always supposedly been hygienically challenged. A guy can get by with it when he’s young and hot, but not after a certain age.

  7. LC1216 says

    Has to be Brad. There was a pic of him the day this blind came out. He also looks so skinny.

    I don’t think Ben and Jen are having a bad divorce. I think they’re friends. Besides, they’ve both been seeing other people, since they announced their split the first time.

  8. Insiderher says

    I say Brad Pitt based on his drastic weight loss & his crazy photo shoot! Shot upside down/very bizarre/clearly trying to reflect Brad’s ‘changes.” He’s lost his wife & kids! His basic decency & fathering was challenged. It must be awful for him. I say he’s drinking hard and not eating. I think Affleck is just Affleck. He’s been separated for over 2 years now.

  9. rhiannon14 says

    Johnny Depp. He’s the one that looks like he’s eating junk food, and I can totally see him not bathing or cleaning.

    Brad Pitt, if anything, is too thin.

  15. luvprue1 says

    Actor: Brad Pitt

    Optional: I believe it’s a combination of being single, and a possibility that there is something else going on. Single Brad is not known to bath regularly. So that’s him being him. However I think he’s probably smoking a lot more weed,and drinking more.

  18. pflower says

    I would say johnny depp but it’s been a while since he divorced and this blind’s actor just filed for divorce…

  32. melrose71 says

    Probably Ben Affleck. This might just be him being single and wanting to be a slob for a month or so not unlike kids off to college and on their own for the first time. It’s not been that long since he and Jennifer filed for divorce so hopefully he comes out of this soon for his kids’ sake. If it lasts much longer, he really needs a housekeeper. Anyone as busy as he is and can afford it should st least have one, especially with his kids coming over.

  33. amagod121 says

    Brad Pitt.

    Optional: I think he may have depression pretty badly. He looks terribly haunted. I hope this blind isn’t about him but it certainly sounds like him. Good luck, Brad. Try to stick with the counseling and get better. There IS life after divorce, even if you still are in love with the person who wants the divorce. Even if you have limited access to your children. There IS meaningful life after divorce.

    BEN AFFLECK

    sounds like he may need to go see a doctor…often addiction can be a symptom of self-medicating when there’s an underlying mental illness. whatever it is, I wish him well for his sake and jennifer garner/their children. this sounds like heavy depression

  41. LaLaLee says

    Brad & Angelina
    I think it’s probably a combo of things, by his own admission, habitual user of drugs/alcohol plus depression from the split?

  42. javelina says

    Actor: Brad Pitt

    [Optional] Do you think that this is just him being single? Or is there something else going on?

    He may be depressed. I hope he pulls out of it and gets help for his addictions and cleans up his life–literally and figuratively. Sometimes it takes losing it all to give a person a wake up call!

  44. PollyMetropolitan says

    Johnny Depp

    He might just be a slob, but he is looking kind of pudgy lately.

  46. huhwhoami says

    would this be the behaviour a heroin user in depp, oh i mean deep over their head. wink

  49. january13 says

    I was going to say Afflec but I think this may be Brad Pitt & his recent weight loss.

    Optional: I think something else may be going on he’s so thin. He looks ill or like he’s battling addiction.

  50. RebellionTruth says

    Brad Pitt maybe? He’s so skinny right now, it worries me a bit tbh

  54. Aubergine Skye says

    I’m guessing Brad Pitt… Come on, Brad! You’re better than this!

  57. georgiegirl says

    I think this is him being upset after the break-up of his relationship just like any other normal human being.

  59. hello says

    Ben Affleck

    Probably depressed – though can’t see how Jen would let the kids go over to his place if it looks like that

  70. chairmanofthebored says

    This is Brad Pitt. From what I understand, he has a history of hygiene issues, even before there was a Brangelina.

  71. heynow says

    Brad Pitt. Long before he was even married to even Jennifer Aniston I had heard he was dirty. He rarely bathed and had a mostly empty fridge.

    • stanton says

      Please whoever it is they need help. They have the money so “Get Help” If they don’t get help then they don’t want it.

    • SugarCookie says

      And recent paparazzi photos show him looking extremely thin. He is swimming in his clothes.

    • kspeedian says

      It does if you’re not eating proper meals and just snacking once or twice throughout the day. In college I was always in a rush and practically LIVED off of the vending machine outside my dorm (small bags of chips, cookies, etc) and even though I was mainly eating fun sized bags sour cream and onion chips, cheetos and bottled water and I lost literally like fifteen pounds (if not 20) in one semester.

    • kspeedian says

      Please excuse the typos! Just saying if you go from three big meals a day with a snack or two to three or four small snacks only- you DO lose weight. You’ll probably get flabby and won’t be attractively thin but it is definitely possible to eat junk food and lose weight and I think that’s what they’re saying in this blind so I said Brad Pitt who’s been looking VERY thin lately.

  73. DenverJayhawk says

    Ben Affleck

    Sounds like depression, not to mention the drug and alcohol abuse makes the mental issues worse.

  74. gossipreader says

    Ben Affleck

    Sounds more like depression or a bender than single life

  77. gypsyjones says

    Brad Pitt
    He’s been known as a stinky guy in the past, so maybe he’s reverting to form, but this extreme is most likely a sign of depression. He needs help.

  79. Visha85 says

    Actor: Brad Pitt

    [Optional] Do you think that this is just him being single? Or is there something else going on? Probably depression. As someone who medicated with booze I feel like he is a mess psychologically so he might be having a bad bout of depression

  80. draconius25 says

    Brad Pitt
    He has been known as an infrequent bather, according to previous girlfriend (s) *cough Paltrow cough*.
    I think he suffers from bouts of depression, but I’m not a Psych. Dr., so who knows?

  81. draconius25 says

    Brad Pitt
    He has been known as an infrequent bather, according to previous girlfriend (s) *cough Paltrow cough*.

    I think he suffers from bouts of depression, but I’m not a Psych. Dr., so who knows?

  84. WillowPotter says

    Poor Brad Pitt

    He might be having a mental breakdown, women aren’t the only ones that suffer emotional distress during life or in this case a divorce process.

  86. CyndiTx123 says

    Ben Affleck and his soon to be ex wife Jennifer Garner ?

    Something else is going on…. He has a lot of addictions and he needs therapy

  88. shelaur22 says

    I could see this being either Ben Affleck OR Brad Pitt (Pitt’s clothes don’t fit him either). Both are divorcing wives who doubled as their mothers, apparently. I don’t feel sorry for them. Put your big boy pants on and grow up!

    • shelaur22 says

      I take it back — I think this is actually Pitt. Ben has a beard when he isn’t working so the whole reminder to shave thing would not apply to him.

    • ghostrider44 says

      I agree it is Depp, guitar under the bed in the photo points to him. Affleck just moved out so I am sure he hasn’t had time to mess up his place yet. Not Pitt because he would not risk losing visitation with his kids.
