Kristen Bell faced criticism for a post deemed insensitive towards domestic violence during her 12th wedding anniversary tribute to Dax Shepard. The actress shared a photo on Instagram showing her sitting on Shepard’s lap in bed, with a controversial caption quoting him on not harming her despite the temptation. Fans reacted negatively, pointing out the timing during Domestic Violence Awareness month.
Comments poured in, expressing shock and disapproval of Bell’s post, highlighting the gravity of domestic violence issues. Some users mentioned the prevalence of femicide in the Netherlands and condemned the post’s insensitivity, especially in the context of awareness efforts. However, amidst the backlash, some followers congratulated the couple, commending their relationship.
Kristen and Dax tied the knot in 2013 and are parents to two daughters. Earlier this year, Dax celebrated Kristen’s Emmy nomination with a playful nude yoga photo of her on social media, adding humor to the occasion. The Mirror has reached out to Bell’s representatives for a response.
