**BREAKING: Violet Affleck SPOTTED *GASP* READING A BOOK — Public Demands Investigation Into Whether She’s Too Woke for Hollywood**
*Los Angeles, CA* — In a shocking display of intellectual elitism, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s eldest spawn, Violet Affleck, 18, was photographed yesterday engaging in the highly controversial act of *reading a physical book* while waiting for a smoothie. Sources confirm the book was not a phone screen.
Social media has predictably erupted. AITA for thinking this is performative? “She’s clearly trying to distance herself from the nepo-baby brand by pretending to have a personality,” tweeted @HollywoodHater420. “TL;DR: She’s literally just existing, but I’m mad about my own student loans.”
The book’s title remains undisclosed, but speculation ranges from *The Communist Manifesto* (based on her resting face) to *The Hunger Games* (because, relatable, girl).
Violet has yet to comment, but sources say she’s been “too busy minding her own business” to care. More at 11, when we’ll analyze the political implications of her choice in denim.
