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.

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.

Her ex-husband’s ancestors owned slaves, and when Afflack found out about it while filming “Finding Your Roots,” he begged Obama’s friend Henry Louis Gates, to keep that info off the show.
Is that where you’re supposed to leave the tip?
No worse than those liberal (of course) millennials and the ear hold strectcher thing you can pass a golf ball through.
Some people just live to call racism. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with them really, because this is the best country ever to BE a minority in but we’re never given a bit of credit for that.

Here’s what she really looks like with her 3 kids
Dumb as a fence post
Well if it limits the amount of talking that they can do, it may be well worth a consideration....
Oh who gives a hoot?
Good God.
Talk about mutilation for the sake of culture.
That’s like tattoos and piercings that are popular in this country today, along with wearing a baseball cap backwards so you can keep the sun out the eyes in the back of your head.
“That’s not who I am!”
Maybe those African natives shouldn’t be made fun of, but it certainly isn’t normal to do that to their lips, either. On the other hand, with few exceptions, acting and actors, movie people in general, are amoral or immoral people. Pimps and prostitutes, really. Yes, God gives talent, but not for the purposes it’s usually used for.
Since somebody decided she was America’s Sweetheart and Favorite Mom, the rest of us just have to hate her.
IIRC, they used be called Ubangi.
I don’t know if I can sleep knowing she said that ten years ago.
They tried it with Bo Schembechler a year, or two ago.
Didn’t work.
Loved all those Penn Teams before they joined the Big 10.
Absolutely 👍
