Jennifer Garner admits she was horrified after accidentally hitting ‘send all’ on private message

Jennifer Garner admits she was horrified after accidentally hitting 'send all' on private message 2

‘I replied to everyone on the team!’ Jennifer Garner admits she was horrified after accidentally hitting ‘send all’ on private message in catastrophic email gaffe

Jennifer Garner has revealed the embarrassing moment she inadvertently sent a group email while replying to an otherwise private message from a school tutor. 

The Hollywood actress, 49, was left red faced as a consequence of the gaffe, which she described as a ‘mom fail’ while appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Late Show With James Corden.   

Her embarrassment was compounded after actor Greg Kinnear, 58, joined her on the show – because he was one of dozens of people to receive the unintentionally public email.    

Jennifer explained that the two friends have children in the same age group who attend the same school in Los Angeles, and she had sent a light-hearted email in the hope of getting one of her kids out of a sporting activity.

She said: ‘I had a mom fail. This is true, about to tell you a true story. This is a true confession. 

‘So we have kids who do the same activity, and I emailed the coach one weekend, kind of being funny about my kid and saying, ”Well, this one seems to be getting a little womped [struck] this weekend. 

‘So what does that mean for tomorrow morning because we have something planned? What does that mean typically?” And I was being funny, I thought I was being funny.’

The actress shares children Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex-husband Ben Affleck.

But she was horrified after discovering the jovial message had accidentally been sent to everyone in the group – including Greg and his wife, Helen Labdon. 

She explained: ‘Turns out it’s the one time in my life I replied all. I replied to everyone on the team, to every parent, including you and Helen. 

‘Do you remember this? Did you guys feel like, ”Oh, gosh, man, I thought she was nice. What a jerk.”‘ 

‘I do remember this,’ admitted Greg. ‘And I remember thinking Jennifer Garner is a raging lunatic. Sweet enough, but I had no idea.’

Greg added that he’s also hit reply all before and said there was no judgment of her.

‘Did it come off cute and funny and like I’m super chill?,’ Jennifer asked.

‘No, no, no,’ Greg replied, prompting a ripple of laughter from the studio audience. 

The actress was on the talk show promoting her new sci-fi family movie The Adam Project.

The forthcoming film also stars Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Catherine Keener, Zoe Saldana and Walker Scobell as a younger version of Ryan’s character.
