Jennifer Garner inquired about Regina King's heritage.
The 52-year-old 'Alias' actress, who recently revealed to MSNBC that she had lost a friend in the LA fires tragedy, has been helping to provide meals to fire victims around Southern California.
Nonetheless, the TikToker posted a brief clip from a different NBC interview where Garner toured the affected regions and called the celebrity "a dreadful actress."

In a recent episode of 'Chelsea Handler's Dinner Party', the comedian hosted a relaxed dinner with a group of celebrities. Among the attendees at the round table were Garner and King, who enjoyed the evening together.
King was discussing how she was born in Los Angeles at one point when Garner cut her off to inquire about her ancestry.
"I was raised right here in Los Angeles, born and raised. I'm one of the rare ones who can say they were born and raised in LA," King remarked.

"I believe it's something really special, and I take great pride in it. Many people have opinions about LA, saying things like 'LA is this' or 'LA is that,' but I always respond, 'Well, you're not from LA, so you don't truly understand it,'” she remarked.
"But do you know where your ancestors are from?" Garner interrupted the actress. King laughed briefly before responding, "Well, yeah…They were part of the triangle slave trade. From Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Senegal."
"My parents both hail from the South and ended up meeting here. I’m incredibly thankful that my mom made the decision to leave. She was the one who said, 'I'm done with this place and I want to explore what else is available,' so she moved to LA," King revealed.

The uncomfortable exchange between Jennifer Garner and Regina King has come back into the spotlight after the recent wildfire in Los Angeles.
The 2017 uncomfortable conversation clip reemerged in light of the LA fires. It began with a portion of Garner's NBC interview, where she recounted her experience of witnessing the destruction and mentioned that a friend of hers had passed away.
The actress stated, "It's simply too horrific to discuss...I can't even begin to comprehend it," when the interviewer pressed for more details about the heartbreaking news.
In order to share her perspective, the TikToker silenced the video and encouraged her audience, saying, "I want you all to view this segment and consider whether this individual is performing or being genuine."
"The TikToker further emphasized, 'I want you to think about why this individual is always, always making headlines. Always appearing in paparazzi photos, frequently seen with her kids in those shots, despite not promoting anything at all.'"
The TikTok user remarked, "I find those individuals quite suspicious. It makes me wonder, why are they always around me? What’s with this ongoing narrative that keeps getting pushed?"
She commented, "I’m expected to think that this individual is truly remarkable," adding that she "is not concerned" about the opinions expressed in the comments.
"The woman can't act to save her life, to begin with. Furthermore, if you're a celebrity, there's absolutely no need to make a scene. You could simply write a check in private without rushing to grab the nearest camera to turn the focus onto yourself," the TikToker remarked.
The TikTok user later commented, "It’s clear to me that this woman is entirely insincere, and the more they try to promote a narrative like this."
"Check out the segment featuring her and Regina King," read the introductory text of the video.
