Controversy Surrounding Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell: A Look at Recent Events
A recent video has resurfaced showing Dax Shepard making a joke about hitting his wife Kristen Bell during an interview for their movie "Hit and Run." The clip captures Bell recounting a car ride with Shepard, where he joked about hitting her. The couple's banter raised eyebrows, especially after Bell faced backlash for a controversial anniversary post on Instagram. In the post, Bell shared a message from Shepard about not killing her, which many found insensitive during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Critics called out Bell for her tone-deaf caption, prompting a domestic violence advocacy group to condemn the joke. Despite some supporters defending Bell, she limited her Instagram comments and skipped a scheduled appearance on the "Today" show. The couple, married since 2013, has two daughters together.
