Violet Affleck Speaks at UN, Kim Kardashian takes swipe at Kanye West and more | Page Six Headlines
I am terrified for the children who do not or soon will not know a world without debilitating pain and exhaustion. That was Violet Affleck, the 19-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Gardner making headlines with her passionate speech at the United Nations. We’ve got more on Violet’s call for stronger postcoid protections in today’s Page Six headlines. The Yale University student urged world leaders to implement mask mandates and invest in clean air infrastructure, arguing that filtered air should be treated as a basic human right, just like clean water. Violet, who has previously spoken about battling a postviral condition, warned against the dangers of long COVID and criticized efforts to return to normal without addressing public health risks. Her remarks come one year after she pushed for mask mandates in Los Angeles, showing that this has become a personal and persistent cause. As the eldest of Affleck and Gardner’s three children, Violet continues to step into the spotlight, not for Hollywood fame, but for her advocacy, making it clear she’s determined to use her voice to push for change. Next, Matthew McConna is opening up about one of the most unusual and personal family stories we’ve ever heard. In a new interview with the Guardian, the Oscar winner recalled how his father, James Donald McConna, got his lifelong wish to die while making love to Matthew’s mother, Kay. The moment, however, didn’t end there. McConna revealed that when paramedics arrived and tried to cover his dad’s body, Kay insisted that they take the sheet off, declaring, “That’s Big Jim. Don’t be covering that man up.” The actor, now 55, said his parents’ relationship was fiery and unconventional, marked by multiple marriages and divorces, but also strict values around respect and responsibility. It’s a wild story, but in true McConna fashion, it’s told with humor, honesty, and a little Texas grit. And finally, Kim Kardashian is feeling more confident than ever, and she’s not afraid to hint at why. In a new cover story for French Vogue, the 44year-old reality star reflected on life after her divorce from Kanye West, crediting her 40s as the start of her most empowering chapter yet. Kim admitted that in the past she often relied on others, including her ex-husband, for approval, but says she now makes decisions entirely on her own, calling the feeling exhilarating. While she didn’t mention Wes by name, Kim has previously been open about how controlling he was when it came to her style, famously tossing out hundreds of pairs of her shoes and criticizing her looks. She also gave credit to designer Demna for helping her embrace confidence without worrying about outside opinions. It’s a fresh chapter for Kim, one marked by independence, style, and a whole lot of self asssurance. For more of today’s biggest stories, head to page six.com.
