Whitney Leavitt Confronts Jen Affleck Over Zac’s Comment About Conner

In episode 6, Jen told former co-stars Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews that Zac had replied to a TikTok comment praising his hair with a remark about Conner’s page. “I’m not gay, but want to try Conner’s page?” he wrote, according to Jen’s account. She described the comment as unnecessary.

Whitney sent Jen an “aggressive” text after Zac’s remark spread online. She called it disrespectful and said jokes or comments connected to Conner’s sexual abuse crossed a serious boundary. Whitney also stressed that she and Conner support gay people, but said she believed that was not Zac’s intent. She warned Jen she would take the exchange public if Jen shared it with others.

Jen said the message made her realize she needed to address problems in her friendships before she could move forward with her divorce. When the two women met, Jen apologized and said Whitney had every right to be upset. “I’m not defending you anymore,” she said, adding that she was tired of defending Zac’s gambling, dishonesty and treatment of others.

Jen announced that she filed for divorce in November 2026, after more than five years of marriage, while pregnant with the couple’s fourth child. She said she wanted to decide before giving birth because she feared that waiting until the postpartum period would keep her in the same cycle. The article also cites a source who alleged Zac tried to dictate Jen’s dance moves and costumes during “DWTS”; the source said production and Jen’s partner, Jan, had to “tip-toe” to keep the peace.
