Fans of Dax Shepard have criticised Cher for making 'rude' comments about the actor during an appearance on his podcast, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. The 79-year-old singer was a guest on the show, which is co-hosted by Shepard, his wife Kristen Bell, and Monica Padman.
During the episode, which aired on 5 January, Cher made a series of digs at Shepard, leaving listeners feeling 'wildly uncomfortable'. After Shepard expressed gratitude for his life with Bell and their two children, Cher remarked: 'You're lucky, she's definitely the better half.'
When Shepard later acknowledged the comment, Cher added: 'No, but the truth is I trust her [Bell]. So, you must have something that I don't see.' The exchange left Bell visibly shocked, with her hand over her mouth, as the others laughed it off.
Listeners took to social media to defend Shepard, with one commenting: 'I guess by reading his responses, Dax wasn't offended. But when I was listening to this, I was uncomfortable. It's rude and also just way off the mark.' Another wrote: 'As a fan of everyone in this clip, this makes me wildly uncomfortable.'
A third fan said: 'He isn't baiting her. She brought it up. He should've told her to go F herself after how rude she was. Who goes on somebody's podcast and tells his wife that she could do better than him?'
UNILAD has contacted Cher's representatives for comment.
