Ben Affleck has nothing but respect for ex-fiance Jennifer Lopez and thinks she was totally snubbed during the recent awards season.

The actor was featured in an interview published earlier this month in The New York Times and talked candidly about his struggles with alcohol as well as his divorce from Jennifer Garner. But reporter Brooks Barnes has shared some snippets from his talk with Affleck that didnt make it into the final piece.

One of those tidbits was about Lopez, whom Affleck met on the set of Gigli in 2002. The pair were briefly engaged, but broke it off in early 2004.
