Kristen Bell made her first red carpet appearance amid her recent controversy<\/a> on Wednesday, October 22.<\/p>\n

The actress, 45, and her Nobody Wants This costars Adam Brody, Justin Lupe, Jackie Tohn and Timothy Simons attended a screening of the show at New York City\u2019s 92nd Street Y, followed by a Q&A hosted by Happy Sad Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz.<\/p>\n

In TikTok videos<\/a> posted by fans, the mom of two was all smiles when she arrived outside the venue, signing autographs and chatting and posing with fans. \u201cWhat a sweetheart! Let it be!\u201d wrote one person who posted a video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The event came hours after the former Veronica Mars star skipped a scheduled appearance on the Today<\/a> show alongside Lupe.<\/p>\n

As Star previously reported, Bell sparked backlash<\/a> for an off-color joke she posted on Instagram on Saturday, October 18 to wish her husband, Dax Shepard a happy 12th anniversary.<\/p>\n

\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 \u2764\ufe0f,\u201d she captioned the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Commenters quickly pointed out that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and called the post \u201ctone-deaf\u201d and \u201cdisturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n
