Kristen Bell<\/strong> has seemingly reacted to backlash over her wedding anniversary tribute<\/a> celebrating 12 years of marriage with her husband, Dax Shephard<\/strong>, by limiting the comment section on the Instagram post.<\/p>\n On October 18, Bell, 45, captioned a photo<\/a> of herself and Shephard, 50, wrapped in each other\u2019s arms, \u201cHappy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: \u2018I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I\u2019m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n She was quickly dragged for her words which some users described as \u201ctone deaf\u201d due to October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month.<\/p>\n \u201cCrazy thing to joke about honestly,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cSincerely, someone who thankfully survived.\u201d<\/p>\n Another person added, \u201cDomestic violence isn\u2019t a joke,\u201d while a third chimed in and said, \u201cNot funny at all. What kind of man says that to his wife? Oh wait, I know exactly what kind. Get out now, Kristen.\u201d<\/p>\n However, not everyone was triggered by the Nobody Wants This<\/em><\/a> star\u2019s words and several appreciated her dark humor, including America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> host Terry Crews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is LOVE,\u201d Crews, 57, wrote.<\/p>\n Neither Bell or Shephard have publicly responded to the backlash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.starmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/kristen-bell-limits-comments-02-scaled.jpg\")
