Kristen Bell stars on The Good Place.
It may very well be the best show on television.
But the actress is currently residing in a rather bad place on Twitter, where numerous users are aghast over negative comments she made in regard to Snow White.
Wait… Snow White?!? In what context? Why?
Scroll down to see what Bell said and to learn how people are reacting to it:
What is Going on Here?!?
The beloved voice of Anna in Frozen, Bell spoke to Parents Magazine for its latest issue and explained how she cherishes her ritual of reading bedtime stories with her girls, saying that she wants to “feed their brain.” Fair enough, right?
She Expounded as Follows:
“Every time we close Snow White I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s weird that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids are like, ‘No!’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m doing something right.'”
Sounds Great, Right?
Bell is using this fairy tale to teach her young kids, ages three and five, valuable life lessons. Is that not what they are for?
But This is Where Bell Gets Into Trouble… with Some
She said she asks them, “Don’t you think that it’s weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!”
Did Bell Just Take the #MeToo Movement Too Far?
Must we really analyze such aspects in a children’s story? Many folks on Twitter think Bell is basically being too “woke” for her own good here.
And James Woods is Leading the Charge
James Woods?!?
Isn’t he a close-minded bigot? YES HE IS. But he wasn’t alone in his criticism of Bell here.
Not All Men are Created Equal, Kristen
#HimToo? It Has to Go Both Ways, Right?
Can We Focus on the Attempted Murder Instead?!?
Can We Just… Chill?
Over Sensitivity Alert!
Bell Responds!
She’s Totally Right Here, Dude. Frozen is a Story About Love Between Sisters.
