The Hollywood couple has been legally wed since 2013 and are parents to two children. Despite their long-standing status, their partnership frequently sparks internet controversy. A prime example occurred during their anniversary last year when Kristen shared a post on Instagram featuring a polarizing quote. She wrote, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘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.’❤️”

Following a wave of backlash, she updated the caption to clarify that the remark was a dark joke made after the couple binged an episode of Dateline together. However, the clarification didn’t stop the internet firestorm, as many social media users argued the humor was either in poor taste or a massive red flag for their relationship health.

On a recent episode of his podcast, Armchair Expert, Dax sat down with comedian Nikki Glaser to discuss the modern landscape of online outrage. During the conversation, Dax theorized that a vast majority—roughly “90%”—of the people “publicly defending” Kristen or expressing “outrage” over their marriage have likely never navigated the complexities of a long-term commitment. He stated, “All these people that are convinced I’m beating Kristen, none of them are married people.”

He further leaned into his personal history with domestic abuse to provide context for his perspective. Dax noted, “If you tell me how domestic violence works, I can tell you those guys who beat my mom’s ass never went online to find out if it was acceptable from someone. That’s not actually how it works.”

Continuing the discussion, he emphasized that the public’s desire to “save” his wife is actually a slight against her character. “Don’t insult my wife. She doesn’t need your protection. You don’t need to diminish her. That’s what pisses me off,” Dax explained. “My wife has total fucking autonomy and is a gangster. So when you say that you need to come in and protect her, it’s actually offensive to her… You’re insulting her by saying you’re going to go protect her. She’s fucking good.”

Dax also revealed that he was largely unaware of the specific anniversary post backlash while it was unfolding. He admitted, “Well, I was alerted by someone that this whole thing was happening. I didn’t know. Kristen knew through her publicist but didn’t tell me.” He concluded by mentioning he sent a “blanket text” to his family members, instructing them not to engage or defend him online, even if “people think [he] abused Kristen.”

Despite the denial, the wave of online negativity aimed at the Saltburn star was so intense that he eventually felt forced to delete his Instagram account and release a statement regarding the “hate” he was enduring during that period.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry addressed those persistent cheating rumors directly. He shared a candid look at how the public narrative has fundamentally altered his life—and his perspective was truly heartbreaking.

“I came off Instagram and social profiles,” he confessed during the interview. “I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just, socializing. It’s because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.”

Reflecting on the unique struggles of “having a relationship in the public eye,” Barry pointed toward the video where Breckie denied the rumors. “No one seemed to latch on to that video,” he noted, expressing frustration over how the public perception has shifted since the breakup.

“I’m not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that’s not normal either,” he continued. “But I’m asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me… just absolutely disgusting and vile. There’s videos on TikTok literally going, ‘I hate him.'”

“We’ll get in the biggest fucking fight you’ve ever heard of in your life…and five minutes later, we’re back, laughing and making music,” she explained. “It’s sibling shit. There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.” It is a sentiment many with siblings can certainly relate to.

If you’re a millennial of a certain age, you know Shannon Elizabeth from a few things. Between the American Pie franchise, Tomcats, Scary Movie, and even a Jay and Silent Bob movie or two, she was arguably one of the queens of the “movies you watched at a sleepover party” subcategory.

Shannon’s acting career has remained fairly steady since then, but she recently took on a new role entirely: OnlyFans creator. She joined the service just a few weeks ago, telling People at the time that starting her own OnlyFans was because “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”

Well, just a few weeks later, People has a new report on how the OnlyFans foray is going for Shannon — and as it turns out, she’s seemingly struck content-creator gold in the process.
