Jennifer Garner faces icy moment with Violet after hotel meltdown

Jennifer Garner was recently seen having a tense moment with her daughter Violet, just days after the two had a big blow-up at a hotel.

Violet, 19, who is the daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, made waves after her Yale essay blew up online. She described a big fight with her mom during a stay at a luxury hotel in January, and the story quickly caught attention.

The family had packed up and left their Los Angeles home to avoid the heavy wildfire smoke. But Violet didn’t hold back later, calling the move an example of how the wealthy turn their backs on real climate problems.

DailyMail revealed that Jennifer and Ben were completely caught off guard by Violet’s essay. They had no clue she had written about the fight for a college assignment.

But by Friday night, it looked like the actress and her daughter were trying to smooth things over. The two were seen grabbing dinner together at A.O.C. in Brentwood, a spot known for attracting stars.

Jennifer, wearing a striped sweater and jeans, looked focused as she chatted with Violet, who showed up in a red pullover and a long flowy skirt.
