Star couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had a lavish wedding ceremony at the actor’s 87-acre property in Georgia. However, people were not happy with the venue that the pop star and the ‘Gone Girl’ actor chose to exchange vows at their nuptials.

It was reported that the place, which was built in 2000, was designed to resemble a plantation in the Antebellum south. A 2015 segment of ‘Finding Your Roots’ series discussed Benjamin Cole, an ancestor of Affleck who reportedly owned multiple enslaved African-Americans, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The actor reportedly tried to sell the property, which features a 6,000-square-foot home deep water port, 10,000 square foot guest house and equestrian facilities, for 8.9 million in 2018 after trying to keep the information under wraps. He eventually removed the listing after it did not sell despite him lowering the price to 7.6 million in 2019.

Upon knowing the information, Internet users were quick to slam the couple.
