Actress Jennifer Garner has been accused of racism after an old clip of her on a late-night talk show resurfaced.
Garner, 51, appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in February 2003 to promote her film, Daredevil.
During her appearance, she shared an anecdote about how her co-star, Colin Farrell, got a bit too aggressive in a scene where they were supposed to be kissing and she ended up with a swollen lip the next day.
"There was this moment that the director added where he thought it would be cool if Colin just nibbled on my lip and, I mean there's a lot there to nibble on granted, but every single take, he would go from like a little nibble to...," Garner told O'Brien and started making gnawing sounds to mimic Farrell's actions.
A Mursi tribe woman with a lip plate on January 3, 2014, in Ethiopia. Actress Jennifer Garner arrives at an event on June 3, 2023, in Hollywood, California. Garner has been accused of racism after an old clip of her on a late-night talk show resurfaced.
She then joked that by the end of shooting the scene, Farrell was treating her lip like a meal "and pulling it out and putting ketchup on it."
It was in her next comments and that some people took offense.
"The next morning I woke up...and I walk out into the living room when my [now ex] husband Scott [Foley] sitting there [in shock]," Garner explained before adding, "and Colin said my lip looked like one of those African women with a plate in their mouths."
Garner followed the comment by acting as though she still had a swollen lip, rolled her eyes back and made "monkey noises," according to one Twitter user as a way of imitating the women.

Oh noes!! This is terrible. I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I’ll have nightmares over this. Why Jennifer, why?
Was she wrong? Didn’t African women do this. Those that object should be banned for mis-information,.
Oh please...those that looking for racism everywhere will find it in everything they perceive.

Sounds like a bigger issue. Where is the Left and their cries of "stolen lands??"
Not racist.
Crying apologies coming in 3...2...1...
The plate is a great source of pride and "powerful visual marker of Mursi identity," which also marks a commitment to a woman's husband because it is worn with great pride when serving him food, the ICDO added on its website.
People will go to any length to find a reason to look down on and feel superior to other people. Now all these woke people can say, “I am so much better than Jennifer Garner because I would not have done that.”
That’s a classic.
“What have you done for me lately?”
This was the killer, I bet - not the swollen lip comment.
I, too, will be unable to sleep
The horror; the horror.
Much like the Urban Sombrero.
Are people who believe in reincarnation ever racist in a previous life and have to pay for it in this life?
What if a person is in the racist demographic in one life and in the victim demographic in the other life?
So?
Liberals just love to pick at people’s flaws. They do everything they can so people cannot see the failures in their life.
LIB
She will apologize like a good Hollywood lib. Rare they become red pilled.
