Kristen Bell Turns Off the Comments

"Happy 12th 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 in a post on Saturday."

""Oh I love this picture," Sarah Silverman wrote with three heart emojis, and Zoey Deutch commented, "you guys are the best.""

""That's a wildly sad and insensitive thing to say considering it's domestic violence awareness month and thousands of women have died at [sic] the hands of the man they trusted...," one person commented."

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