Kristen Bell Thanks Husband Dax Shepard For Promising Not to Kill Her

Kristen Bell is in scorching water for what some followers are calling a tone-deaf Instagram put up … she appeared to joke about her husband Dax Shepard refraining from domestic violence.

She wrote, “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.'”

The message captioned a photograph of the couple in a deep, dramatic embrace in mattress.

As many have famous, their marriage ceremony anniversary occurs to fall in the course of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which some took to be significantly insensitive to victims.

One commenter wrote, “Please keep in mind that this is something real that lots of people suffer on a daily basis. And the text could be triggering for victims.”

“How can any self respecting woman stay with a man who ‘jokes’ like that? I’m not even a very serious person, but that would have me leaving so fast your head would spin,” wrote one other.

One simply known as the sentiment, “weird.”
