(NewsNation) — Violet Affleck went straight from testifying in front of the LA County Board of Supervisors in opposition to mask bans and advocating for “mask availability, air filtration, and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities”… to hanging out with her soon-to-be-ex stepmother Jennifer Lopez in the Hamptons.

A friend of Lopez told me: “Violet and Jennifer are really close, very tight. They get along so well. If (the marriage between Lopez and Ben Affleck) were to be saved it would be because of this.”

Violet and a friend spent over a week with Lopez, shopping, dining out and catching up.

Sadly, my sources say the Lopez/Affleck marriage is unsaveable, but hopefully Violet and Lopez will stay in touch.
