\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 one commenter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone who thinks this is funny: talk to a DV survivor or the loved one of a DV who was murdered. Please think about the impact you are having,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n
Neither Bell nor Shepard have addressed the backlash. <\/p>\n
The actress, who stars opposite Adam Brody in Netflix\u2019s hit Nobody Wants This, was recently reminded about the special day by entertainment reporters.<\/p>\n
At the premiere of the show\u2019s second season last week, Bell told Entertainment Tonight she had forgotten about her upcoming wedding anniversary. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt helps that he doesn\u2019t remember either. No one\u2019s at fault here, right? We\u2019re just not great with dates.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell and Shepard have been open about their marital problems in the past, publicly detailing the various ups and downs of their relationship since they got together in 2007. <\/p>\n
In September 2024, Bell said Shepard was her \u201cpolar opposite\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the antithesis of each other. We argue about absolutely everything, but there is a foundational trust that we\u2019ve built that keeps us together and is quite stimulated by one another\u2019s opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a 2020 episode of his podcast Life is Short, she told fellow actor Justin Long one of the couple\u2019s arguments caused them both to \u201cblackout\u201d in anger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cNot funny at all.
