Kristen Bell's twelfth wedding anniversary celebration with Dax Shepard took an unexpected turn after a social media post the actress shared was labelled tone deaf. The Nobody Wants This lead shared a message intended to be humorous but was instead met with criticism across online platforms. According to reports, Bell 'didn't realise' the post would attract backlash, highlighting how her sense of humour may have been misunderstood by fans.
The post, shared on 17 October 2025, read: '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 incentivised to kill you, I never would."' Many users found the message unsettling, especially given its reference to spousal violence, even if meant in jest. What began as an attempt at dark humour soon drew widespread criticism, with followers questioning the appropriateness of such remarks in an anniversary tribute.
