URGENT UPDATE: Kristen Bell is facing backlash over a controversial anniversary post dedicated to her husband, Dax Shepard, as they celebrate 12 years of marriage. The post, shared on Instagram, features a cozy photo of the couple but contains a caption that has ignited significant debate among her followers.
In her post, Kristen writes, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.’ ❤️” This statement has gone viral, with many expressing disbelief and concern over its implications.
The response on social media has been swift and divided. One user remarked, “I ain’t even got a gif for this one man what the hell,” while another added, “May this type of relationship never find me.” Critics argue that the tone of the post is particularly inappropriate given that it coincides with Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, a time when discussions about violence against women are crucial.
One commenter pointedly noted, “Making it publicly when the amount of women and girls falling victim to femicide is increasing along with the normalization of misogyny is dangerous and gross.” They highlighted the alarming statistic that a girl or woman is killed by a man known to them every 10 minutes.
As the post continues to garner attention, it raises vital questions about the responsibility of public figures to consider the societal implications of their words. With over 16 million followers, Kristen’s reach amplifies the potential impact of her message, leading many to call for more sensitivity.
As the conversation unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the complexities of humor in relationships, especially in the public eye. The controversy surrounding Kristen Bell’s anniversary message reflects broader societal issues and the urgent need for awareness around domestic violence.
