Ben Affleck Reacts to Lisa Barlow’s Claim

If I had a nickel every time a reality star living in Utah claimed to know⁤ Ben Affleck, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it‍ happened twice, right? After Lisa Barlow bragged about hanging out with Affleck and Blake Lively at an event instead of going on a girls’ trip, someone ‍finally asked Affleck if he knows Barlow, and unluckily, he doesn’t remember the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star. “I don’t want to get anybody in trouble. I don’t know what this⁣ is,” Affleck stuttered when Access Hollywood ‍ asked him about Barlow. “like, prove somebody right or wrong?” It’s fair for him not to ⁢remember⁣ meeting her, considering Affleck has probably met a ton⁢ of people in his lifetime and isn’t a Housewives fan. The journalist then showed a⁣ photo of Barlow to Affleck, and it still wasn’t ringing any bells. “It doesn’t look familiar to me, and I don’t remember anything,” he⁣ added. “I don’t want to embarrass her because⁢ I say hi to a lot of people,I don’t want to be the jerk who is like,I did meet you. You don’t remember everyone you meet.”

Affleck was at the SXSW premiere of The Accountant 2 in Austin, ⁤Texas, where⁣ Barlow was also⁢ in attendance; she also went to the premiere⁢ of Another Simple Favor, ⁢where Blake Lively was also in attendance. Barlow showed her clips from the events in a TikTok captioned, “Ben and Blake 🤔⁤ and turned ⁣the comments off. But despite this evidence, it doesn’t ⁣prove that Barlow knew Lively or Affleck. They might’ve said hi in passing but again, the ultimate rule of⁣ the internet is: pics or it didn’t happen. Maybe they just need a Dunkin’ ad to unite them.
