Aside from a White House visit in 2022 and occasional photos taken by paparazzi, Violet Affleck has largely maintained a private life. Considering years of relentless pursuit by photographers aimed at her and her family – including her siblings Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 – it’s easy to understand why.
Her mother, Jennifer Garner, recalls Violet even spoke out against the paparazzi when she was just a kindergartener. Garner described to *The Hollywood Reporter* how Violet, standing on a chair in a velvet dress, clearly articulated her feelings. Despite not yet pronouncing her ‘R’s correctly, Violet said, “We didn’t ask for this. We don’t want these cameras, they’re scary. The men are scary, they knock each other over and it’s hard to feel like a kid when you’re being chased.” Garner, who testified in court to support a policy protecting children from paparazzi, noted Violet’s remarkably clear communication skills – a trait she attributes to being Ben Affleck’s daughter.
