Kristen Bell Now Claims Bathing Ritual Was a Joke

The star wants people to stop talking about her stink.

After Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard started a wildfire about how often people should be bathing … they have had enough.

“I think people maybe need a little bit of a lesson of what is a joke and what is not. Because now people are acting like this is an actual Supreme Court case,”  Bell told Entertainment Tonight.

The drama started after Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis appeared on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast and talked about the bathing habits of their children.

If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point, Kutcher had said. Bell seconded that her kids don't bathe too often.

Kristen continued her statement to ET,  “I thought, ‘America is not gonna dig deep into this and want all the intel on how often people bathe, right?’"

Wrong!

Although Kristen Bell may now claim the whole thing was a joke – something smells like major damage control!
