Jennifer Garner has won in her split with Ben Affleck and become a world class example of how to rise above your ex and serve classy payback.
It's almost four years since Ben allegedly eyeballed the nanny and their marriage ended. And as he sinks to dark depths of despair, she has continued to rise. No, soar! In full flight this week, she was crowned People magazine's Most Beautiful Person of the Year.
It's the ultimate "screw you" to an ex. Indeed, that's a bitter way of looking at the honour, but this column is your premium source of bitterness. We'd usually scoff at the Most Beautiful People list because it's so old fashioned and lame, but this year we refuse to roll our eyes because Jen Garner is lovely and amazing and we will always support inventive yet classy ways of getting back at an ex.
Of course, Jennifer Garner is too classy to have vindictively orchestrated this payback. She's so classy she has probably never even said the term "screw you". At best, she'd spell it out, whispering the letters S-C-R-E-W.
It's the kind of "in your face!" moment all us regular people wish we could taunt an ex with. Instead, the best we can do is post throwback selfies to Instagram showing us looking fabulous and carefree on boats and at bars when really we're looking disastrous and hateful in bed and at food courts.
