Ben Affleck appears to yell at a man after he is grabbed by the neck in NYC amid sad Jennifer Lopez divorce

Ben Affleck looked uncomfortable as he was grabbed by a man in New York City on Wednesday.

The Oscar-winning actor was seen pulling away from a bystander who had a hand near his neck while in Manhattan.

The father-of-three had been attending a conference in a high-rise building in midtown when the incident happened.

Affleck appeared tired and overwhelmed as was dressed sharp in a blue suit as he was surrounded by fans and fellow conference attendees.

Meanwhile, his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez – who filed for divorce from him in August – has been in Los Angeles with her twins Max and Emme.

Lopez looked especially dazzling in a gold dress at the Wicked premiere on Saturday with Emme.

Emme, who goes by they/them pronouns, did not walk the red carpet with their mother — who modeled a glamorous gown for the event — but rather joined her later in the theater.

In the sweet snapsH๏τ, the teenager sported a beige, patterned ʙuттon-down and black pants to watch Wicked — which will receive a theatrical release later this month on November 22.

Lopez layered the pH๏τo over cherry blossoms from a Wicked movie promo image.

She paired the post with an instrumental track of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s Defying Gravity duet from the musical.

Alongside the snap, the Atlas actress wrote: ‘Wicked!! We loooved it.’

She also shared green and pink heart emojis as well as one of a witch and one of a fairy to symbolize the two leading stars’ respective characters. 

Lopez is also mother to Emme’s 16-year-old twin Max.

She shares both kids with her ex, Marc Anthony. 

The Bronx native was previously married to the singer-songwriter from 2004 to 2014.

At the premiere, she showed her exes what they’re missing — including her estranged husband Affleck, who has been looking ‘miserable’ while out in public since their separation.

The brunette bombshell turned heads in a colorful halter dress adorned with intricate, gemstone embellishments and Sєxy, side cut-outs from the Zuhair Murad Couture Spring 2024 collection.

After attending the premiere, she also shared a short clip of herself walking the red carpet and posing in the glamorous gown.

Her latest sighting comes after she said canceling her summer tour earlier this year was the ‘best thing she’d ever done’ amid her split from Affleck. 

The songstress pulled the plug on her This Is Me… Live concerts in May, telling fans at the time she was ‘heartsick and devastated’ to ‘let them down’ before later confirming in divorce documents that the couple had split the prior month. 

A statement at the time read that JLo was retreating from the spotlight ‘to be with her children’ and speaking on Friday’s Graham Norton show she said: ‘I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done’. 

Sticking to what she said, she brought along Emme to the premiere to enjoy the highly anticipated Broadway adaptation of Wicked.

Based on a novel by Gregory Maguire, the 2003 Broadway musical Wicked told the backstory of the Wicked Witch Of The West from The Wizard Of Oz. 

In the movies, Cynthia Erivo will play the тιтle character Elphaba with Ariana Grande as her best friend Galinda, who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch of the North. 

Lopez herself is currently working on a Broadway adaptation of her own — a movie of the 1990s musical Kiss Of The Spider Woman, with a score by the songwriting team Fred Ebb and John Kander of Cabaret and Chicago fame. 

Wicked is set to be released in two parts; Wicked: Part One will premiere in theaters on November 22 while Part Two is slated for November 2025.
