Kristen Bell faced criticism for a post on her 12th wedding anniversary with Dax Shepard that some deemed insensitive towards domestic violence. The actress shared a photo on Instagram showing her sitting on Shepard’s lap, with a controversial caption quoting Shepard’s previous words about not harming her despite the temptation. Fans expressed shock and disapproval, noting the timing during Domestic Violence Awareness month.
Critics pointed out the insensitivity of the post, highlighting the prevalence of femicide in different countries and the tragic outcomes of domestic violence. Despite the backlash, some fans congratulated the couple, praising their relationship. Kristen and Dax tied the knot in 2013 and have two daughters together.
Earlier this year, Dax celebrated Kristen’s Emmy nomination with a cheeky Instagram post showing her naked doing yoga in their backyard. The post humorously hinted at the unconventional methods behind Kristen’s acclaimed performance. The Mirror sought comments from Kristen’s representatives regarding the controversy.
