Kristin Bell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Over the past few days, Kristen Bell has been at the center of controversy following her 12th wedding anniversary post on Instagram. The post featured a joke about her husband Dax Shepard never killing her, despite being "heavily incentivized" to do so. Many fans and critics felt the joke was in poor taste, especially since it was made during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The post garnered attention from various celebrities, with some defending her humor and others criticizing it. Notably, NBC's Dateline account commented with "Screenshotted," which many interpreted as a sly reference to its true crime coverage.
Bell has chosen not to apologize for the post and has instead limited comments on her Instagram. According to a source close to the actress, she doesn't want to be "bullied" into backing down and believes there are bigger issues in the world than her joke. This stance is supported by her husband Dax Shepard, who allegedly thought the post was funny. Some of Bell's friends are even reportedly happy that she is facing backlash, suggesting she often doesn't realize how her words can hurt people.
Recently, Bell appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show, where she avoided discussing the controversy, instead focusing on promoting her Netflix series "Nobody Wants This." However, she missed a scheduled appearance on the Today show, which was meant to be alongside her co-star Justine Lupe. No official explanation was given for her absence, although it coincided with the peak of the backlash on social media. Despite the controversy, Bell's reputation remains polarizing, with some defending her humor and others criticizing her insensitivity.
