Ben Affleck’s ‘Crazy’ Cousin Branded ‘Narcissist’ in ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’

Drama is an Affleck family specialty.

Ben Affleck’s cousin, Zac Affleck, and his wife, MomTok influencer Jennifer Affleck, star in the new Hulu show “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which explores their marital struggles in depth.

In Episode 7, Zac, 28, gets all upset when Jen, 25, and the rest of MomTok go to see a Chippendales show during their girls’ trip to Las Vegas.

Jen leaves the show and is reprimanded by Zac over text, even going so far as to tell his wife she has “no values ​​or morals.”

After Jen leaves the house at 2am to see Zac, the other girls start bitching about him.

Demi Engemann, who saw the texts between the couple, calls Zac a “narcissist” and “crazy.” She claims Zac told Jen he didn’t love her anymore because she went to the Chippendales show.

Later that night, the girls go out to dinner without Jen and reveal that Zac has a gambling addiction, which is prohibited by the Mormon church.

Jen eventually reunites with the group and discusses the drama with Zac, admitting that he is “wrong” and has “narcissistic traits” that “come up every few months.”

However, Jen tells her friends that despite their concerns, she continues to stand by her husband.

She did the same in her exclusive interview with The Post.

“That was really hard because I think they were really concerned and I can’t blame them because what happened to me was very upsetting,” Jen said.

“It definitely forced me to step back and look at my relationship and see it as imperfect, because I think a lot of times as an LDS member you pretend that your relationship is perfect and everything is okay, but sometimes it’s not and that’s okay.”

“So yeah, it really helped me that they supported me during that time and I’m actually grateful for that,” the mother of two continued. “I don’t know if everyone’s intentions were good at the time, and it’ll be interesting to look back on the show and see what everyone said when I wasn’t there versus when I was there.”

Jen added: “But right now I feel like everyone has been on my side and supportive for the most part. But I hope they still support me in my personal decisions and what I think is right for me.”

The influencer also told The Post that Ben, 52, is Zac’s father’s cousin, but they’ve only met once.

Jen dropped another bombshell: she was named after Jennifer Lopez, who now wants to change her name from Jennifer Affleck to Jennifer, now that she’s divorced from Ben.

“I was named after J.Lo because my mom was obsessed with J.Lo,” she said. “Jennifer Lynn Lopez, my name is Jennifer Lynn Affleck. I was like, OK, Jenny from the neighborhood is here.”

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” can be streamed on Hulu.
