Dax Shepard was no expert on this Kristen Bell controversy.
Nearly six months after his wife sparked outrage with an anniversary post containing a glib reference to murder, the Parenthood alum revealed he was in the dark on the backlash at the time.
“I was alerted by someone that this whole thing was happening,” Dax said on the April 6 episode of his Armchair Expert podcast. “I didn’t know, and Kristen knew through her publicist but didn’t tell me. So, I actually didn’t know, and this was brought to my attention.”
In fact, the 51-year-old admitted he first heard about the public pushback about “a week and a half” after the Frozen actress shared the anniversary post.
“I had no clue,” he continued. “Someone comforted me, and I was like, ‘What are you [talking about]?’ And then I had to go to Kristen, like, ‘What are they talking about?’ She’s like, ‘Oh, that post I had.’”
