MI Actress Has Fans Upset Over Social Media Post

Michigan native and actress Kristen Bell has many fans upset over an Instagram photo to commemorate her 12th anniversary with her husband, Dax Shepard.

"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,'" Bell wrote.

The backlash was swift, with some fans calling it "tone deaf" and questioning whether it was supposed to be funny.

"I’ve been a fan for a while. I just wanted to say that please don’t joke about domestic violence. 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," one commenter said.

"Crazy thing to joke about honestly. Sincerely, someone who thankfully survived," another wrote.

The official Instagram account of true-crime newsmagazine show Dateline responded to the post, saying, "screenshotted."

Bell has since limited the comments on her post.

Earlier this year, Bell, who is from Huntington Woods, was nominated for her first Emmy Award for her role in "Nobody Wants This," according to Entertainment Weekly.
