After Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had decided to separate but long before they told the press about it on the first day after their 10th wedding anniversary, he slept with their children’s nanny, 28-year-old Christine Ouzounian.

When he took the nanny with him to Vegas and then on a family vacation to the Bahamas and Jen found out, she literally kicked him out. Within hours, her publicist was already releasing the divorce statement.

Garner’s discovery of the affair, which had taken place behind her back, also led to the firing of the nanny. Obviously, her main concern weren’t the kids, so there was no point in keeping her around anymore.

The nanny fights back

Hollywood Life has learned that Christine is getting ready to fight back, having seen an attorney in view of suing Garner for wrongful termination of contract. According to the report, Christine flew to Vegas with Ben because he had assured her it would be ok and because he was her boss, “technically.”

So if he was her boss, she had no way of refusing the trip. At the same time, this means that Garner had no right to fire her, no matter how badly it upset her that she’d been sleeping with “the boss” all along.

“[Jen] fired Christine right away and Ben did nothing about it. Christine’s upset and has met with attorneys to file a wrongful termination suit against Jen,” an insider is quoted as saying. “In truth, Christine would rather be Ben’s girlfriend than nanny. She has strong feelings for him and wishes he wanted a relationship.”

This is only one of the many reports to have emerged after the “cheating” story broke to claim that the nanny got into the affair with the Hollywood actor because she was in love and thought he was pursuing her with something long-term in mind.

What’s really happening, a theory

Based on the reports making the rounds online and in print right now, the most likely theory as to why this is blowing up now is that the nanny wants attention. She probably imagines that, this way, she will manage to “convince” (or scare) Affleck into coming back to her.

Considering the amount of detail on the story, there’s little doubt that the leaks are coming from the nanny herself, who was probably dumped or temporarily sidelined after the divorce announcement.

Ben and Jen made an honest effort to keep the split amicable, but particularly to keep the scandalous details of it out of the press. He might have warned the nanny that it would be best if they stopped seeing each other for a while, until this blew over.

In response, she went to the media with the story, while insisting that she was “in love” and that she never even imagined she would be just a casual hookup.

Since she won’t be able to work as a nanny anymore, expect to see interviews with her on TV about her affair with Affleck very soon.
