A People magazine cover story has raised the ire of Jennifer Garner, spurring the Wakefield actress to "set the record straight" via her Facebook page.
"It has been brought to my attention that there is a People magazine cover and article out today that appear to be coming from me," Garner wrote Wednesday, referring to a story in the magazine's June 12 issue about her transition to life as a single mother.
"I did not pose for this cover. I did not participate in or authorise this article," Garner wrote.
The portion of the People story published online Wednesday cited "an insider" and "a source close to both" Garner and soon-to-be ex-husband Ben Affleck when speculating as to when Garner might begin dating again.

Garner and Affleck separated in June 2015 and filed officially for divorce last month, seeking joint physical and legal custody of their three children: Violet, 11, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 5.
In her Facebook post, Garner took a breezy tone, citing previous experiences with celebrity journalism that resulted in loved ones thinking she had neglected to tell them she was pregnant. ("Geez Louise," the actress exclaimed.)
Garner went on to explain that her action this time was to ensure that her mother's garden club didn't start calling her to demand details for a story the actress states she had no part in.
Geez Louise indeed, Jen.
