Violet Affleck, daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, has begun to feel "vindicated" during the devastating LA wildfires.
An insider shared with Daily Mail that the 19-year-old, who talked about "mask mandates" last summer, has been asking her parents and siblings, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, to wear masks because of the air quality.
The source revealed, “Violet Affleck has been pressuring her family to put a mask on since she has been back home because right now the air quality is unhealthy.”
It was also reported that “She is clearly not going to give up on advocating for mask mandates. It has become a part of who she is and what she stands for.”
The insider added, “She is so passionate about this and she feels vindicated for her work championing masks because she does, truly, believe that her opposition to the ban is warranted.”
“She is hoping the fires will serve to show people that masks can be used in times not only connected to the spread of a virus,” the source highlighted.
For the unversed, six months ago, Violet asked leaders to keep pandemic face mask rules strong and she was frequently seen wearing what looked like an N-95 mask.
Notably, this came after Ben had to leave his $20 million Pacific Palisades mansion because fires destroyed many homes in the area and he was spotted comforting Violet outside his rental home in Brentford on Saturday, January 11.
