Jen Affleck is addressing a pair of videos she released last week showing her ex, Zac Affleck, criticizing her housework and postpartum body.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 27, shared two pointed clips to her TikTok account on Thursday, Nov. 5 and Friday, Nov. 6 depicting unsavory moments from her seven-year marriage to Zac, 30, days after she filed for divorce.
In one, recorded weeks after Jen had given birth, Zac told her that her breasts were “sagging all over” and that she wouldn’t “want to post that.” In another, Zac appeared frustrated after Jen pointed out that she has always done all of their family’s laundry when he asked if there were any clean towels.
Jen acknowledged the clips for the first time while attending a taping of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday, Nov. 10, during a behind-the-scenes TikTok livestream hosted by Ezra Sosa and Hailey Bills.
In the livestream — clips of which were later reposted by fans — Sosa asked Jen, “Let’s talk about your social media engagement — are we going to get more posts like that this week?”

“Let’s not talk about my TikTok videos,” she responded with a laugh. “I was being a little petty, I’m not going to lie. I’m going through some things.”

Since Jen shared the clips, Zac — with whom she shares daughter Nora, 5, son Luca, 3, and daughter Penelope, 1 — has issued multiple public apologies.
He first addressed the videos in a TikTok comment on Nov. 5, writing that his language was “obviously horrible and should have never been said.”

“When I saw the video today I was absolutely shocked I had said that,” he continued, claiming that the video was from 2022. “I said a lot of horrible and hurtful things but I have tried my best to learn and grow.”

On Nov. 6, he issued a longer public apology to Jen, writing on TikTok that watching the clips back “hurts so much.”
“I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you. I’m sorry for dimming your light. I’m sorry I was so young and immature. I’m sorry I couldn’t make the changes I needed to. And I’m sorry I let things get to this point,” Zac wrote. “I can’t change the past, but I can promise to keep working on myself and do everything I can to be the best father, coparent, and friend moving forward.”
