What's Happening?
Michigan actress Kristen Bell is facing criticism for an Instagram post dedicated to her husband, Dax Shepard, in celebration of their 12th wedding anniversary. The post included a caption that some found
insensitive, particularly during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Bell's caption humorously referenced Shepard's statement about never harming her, which sparked backlash from followers who felt it trivialized domestic violence. Bell, known for her roles in 'Frozen' and 'Veronica Mars,' has since limited comments on the post.
