Kristen Bell's Anniversary Joke: Dax Shepard's Reaction

0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered pop culture updates. I'm Cory with the story.

She shared a photo of them hugging and captioned it with a dark joke about him once saying he'd never kill her, even though plenty of guys have oft. They're wives. Her 16-million followers blasted it as insensitive to domestic violence, forcing her to shut down comments. Fast forward nearly six months, and Sheppard finally spilled the behind-the-scenes T on his armchair expert podcast this week.

1:03up when she read them out. The chatter didn't stop there on the Golden Globes red carpet, share even T's Sheppard about it, calling Bell the better half and joking he must have. Some hit in charm. Sheppard stands by the post, calling it hilarious and owning their habit of oversharing everything online. It's classic them, raw, real, and rubbing some folks wrong, but that's the vibe they roll with.
