Kristen Bell is on edge after her latest PR nightmare! The Good Place actress was the center of mass backlash earlier this fall when she shared a rather tone-deaf anniversary post, recalling how her husband Dax Shepard once told her: "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." What in the world?!

As fans called her out for the insensitive post (especially because it was posted during Domestic Violence Awareness Month), the scandal spun out into an all-out media crisis as reports surfaced about her problematic marriage. And all this was happening while she was promoting the latest season of her show, Nobody Wants This. Not ideal at all! Now, a source for Radar Online is pulling back the curtain on what it's been like for the Frozen star behind the scenes. An insider shared on Friday: "What made her lovable - the therapy talk, the confessions, the no-filter approach - now makes people cringe." Ouch! As a result, the mother of two is spiraling, a Hollywood PR exec dished: "Everything's rehearsed now. Every post, every word. She's terrified of saying the wrong thing again." Uh oh... The couple made a joint appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live the night before Thanksgiving, and by all means, it was a totally squeaky-clean, polished chat about the holidays, what they're grateful for, and their love story. They claimed the appearance was to promote a movie, Hit and Run, that originally came out... 13 years ago, but was now on Netflix. But, clearly, it had to be an attempt to reestablish themselves as a lovable and relatable couple - with no marriage issues at all, whatsoever. But did it work?
