Kristen Bell has been keeping fans entertained lately with a string of candid (and sometimes jaw-dropping) personal revelations.
But her latest confession has truly taken the internet by surprise, with some viewers calling her comments “unhinged.”
The Frozen and The Good Place star recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote the new season of her Netflix series Nobody Wants This, which dropped on October 23.
The show, now in its second season, stars Bell as Joanne, a sex-and-dating podcaster who falls for a rabbi played by Adam Brody, leading to plenty of romantic chaos and heartfelt comedy.
Kristen Bell reveals she filmed pregnant sex scenes
During her interview with Kelly Clarkson – which came several days after Bell was blasted online for her 'tone-deaf' anniversary post to her husband Dax Shepard – Bell opened up about filming intimate scenes with Brody, not in Nobody Wants This, but years earlier when they starred together in the Showtime series House of Lies.
When Clarkson asked whether Bell’s past on-screen chemistry with Brody helped with their new roles, the actress replied, “Yeah,” before dropping an unexpected detail: she had actually been eight-and-a-half months pregnant while filming those sex scenes.
“The production had to blur it out for the sake of the plot,” she explained, laughing.
Bell added that Brody jokingly refers to the experience as “our threesome,” prompting Clarkson to burst out laughing. “Which I do not want my daughter to hear,” Bell clarified with a grin.
Fans react – “she’s so unhinged”
Bell’s blunt honesty quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions on social media.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “LOL she’s so unhinged.”
Another added: “She’s on a generational run.”
A third chimed in: “I love her sense of humor.”
Many viewers praised the actress for her openness and comedic timing, calling her one of the most relatable stars in Hollywood.
Adam Brody made everything safe and comfortable
Bell went on to describe Brody as “a delightful scene partner” who made the unusual circumstances surprisingly easy.
“I love and trust him as an individual so much,” she said. “So to be honest, when I was this pregnant and had to, like, mount him, I was just like, well, morning.”
She added that the two share a sibling-like bond off-screen: “We get along really well but we also argue like crazy.”
