Jennifer Lopez reportedly fears Ben Affleck will open up too much on the podcast, especially if he's casually chatting with Damon.

“She would freak out if Ben went wild on the podcast,” said an insider. “They lived together twice, broke up twice – they've seen the best and worst of each other – and if Ben is just sitting there shooting the breeze and getting loose with Matt, then JLo knows anything could spill out.”

“He's had such a hard time in the press and there's a side of him people don't get – and that includes JLo. Even now, there are people who believe she was too good for him, or he wasn't good enough,” noted the insider.

The insider added, "She doesn't want to be painted as a control freak who kept tabs on him or the one who pushed him back with her, and it would be the ultimate betrayal from her perspective if he shared too much."
