As we saw earlier this week, the 28 year-old former nanny to the Garner-Affleck children, a woman named Christine Ouzounian, is extremely thirsty. She’s been doing pap walks and talking to the press, revealing details about her alleged relationship with Affleck and about herself. The Daily Mail has a video of her talking to the paparazzi and she seems super happy to say “I have no comment, sorry.” (They also claim she’s with an assistant or stylist, but it’s just as likely to be a friend or family member helping carry her stuff. Look at how she’s dressed, that’s not a stylist.)
While Affleck has officially denied a relationship with Ouzounian and is threatening to sue, legitimate celebrity news outlets, like US Magazine and People, are standing by their reporting and even claiming that sources close to Jennifer Garner can confirm that Affleck hooked up with the nanny. What’s more is that Ouzounian went to the Bahamas at the end of June with Garner and Affleck, in the role of their children’s nanny, and slept with Affleck there. People reported that Garner found out after Affleck and the nanny had already left and that she was “livid” and promptly fired Ouzounian.
E! Online is giving more background on this relationship, and they claim that Ouzounian arranged to have the paparazzi photograph her with Affleck when the children weren’t around and after she was fired by Garner. Once Affleck found out he was pissed, and you can read between the lines that this was why he dumped her. Affleck and the nanny used to hook up at the Hotel Bel Air, where Ben stayed during his separation. So, just as this story broke, Ouzounian went back to the Hotel Bel Air and stayed there by herself while Affleck is in Atlanta. She is truly shameless! Here’s more, from E!
Now a friend close to Ouzounian, as well as other sources, tell E! News more details about the caretaker’s relationship with both Affleck and Garner.
“She was not doing her job of being a nanny,” one source close to the couple explains.
The insider further insists that Ouzounian had nothing to do with the couple’s divorce, adding, “This was not the reason they announced the separation. It was one of many things.”
“Ben is absolutely not dating anyone. There is nothing physical of romantic between Ben and Christine,” the source adds. “Dating is not his focus and it hasn’t been his focus throughout the separation period. He was tired of Jen’s negative energy and constant berating—but that does not mean he cheated…
The couple, who met on the set of Daredevil, let Ouzounian go on July 1, one day after they announced their divorce. But photographs of Ouzounian and Affleck, taken July 17, seemed to show them hanging out together even though she was no longer working for them.
But another source tells E! News that Ouzounian actually tipped off the paparazzi to have them take photographs of her with her former employer. Affleck supposedly became “very upset” upon discovering the photographers…
“What started out as a flirtation quickly turned into more,” the pal says.
But Garner didn’t let her go for a while because she was a “sweet girl” and her children “adored” her.
When Affleck and Ouzounian began to hang out more, she told her friend that he would set “covert meet-ups” and their
professional relationship turned romantic.“…Eventually she couldn’t contain her excitement and spilled the beans that she was dating Ben Affleck…she told her friends she was completely in love with him,” Ouzounian’s friend explains. “Ben told Christine things that led her to believe they were going to be fully together. Over the course of the last few months, their relationship became very real and serious to Christine.”
Although Garner was “very, very suspicious” of her nanny, the friend adds that Ouzounian told her she wasn’t fired until Garner “found out that Ben and Christine had been intimate” while in the Bahamas. According to Ouzounian’s friend, that was Garner’s breaking point.
Meanwhile, do you know what Jennifer Garner did as the nanny sold her story and strutted her stuff? She visited pediatric cancer patients. This isn’t the first time she’s visited a children’s hospital. Just a few days before the news of her divorce broke, Garner visited Boston Children’s Hospital to do research for her role in Miracles From Heaven, filming now. I remember because the news came out late on a Friday, just when I expected to hear of their divorce, but the divorce announcement was delayed until after they’d reached the ten year anniversary mark.
Garner is SUPER controlling of her image. It took me a while to believe that about her because I’m one of those women who doesn’t leave the house without doing my hair and makeup. The fact that she dresses down and doesn’t wear makeup is a strategic move. See how happy she is here, reminding us that she cares about little kids and is a great mom? She’s going to come out of this looking like the sweet wronged party while Affleck is going to look like the dog he is. And the nanny? She’s playing a stupid media game that’s going to backfire. She’s going to have to find another career because she’s not going to parlay this into a reality show and no one will want to hire her after this.
