Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell Leave Adam Scott “Borderline Abusive” Voicemails Over “Severance” Cliffhangers
Imagine being so invested in a TV show that you resort to leaving voicemails that could be classified as emotional warfare. That’s precisely where Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell find themselves, as Adam Scott revealed during his appearance on *The Kelly Clarkson Show*. The *Severance* star, who plays the enigmatic Mark Scout, has become the unwilling target of his friends’ relentless demands for spoilers. Shepard and Bell, it seems, have taken their fandom to a level that can only be described as “borderline abusive,” leaving Scott a series of hilariously unhinged voicemails that Kelly Clarkson was all too eager to share with the world.
In one particularly dramatic message, Shepard huffed, “Oh, buddy, are we f—ing pissed that this episode just ended,” while Bell chimed in with a frustrated, “You losers!” The couple’s frustration over the show’s cliffhangers reached such heights that Shepard even attempted to turn the tables on Scott, leaving him with a fake cliffhanger of his own: “My wife just ran through a plate glass window off the second story of our home and was rushed to the hospital. You probably want to know if she’s still alive. I will tell you next week!” The audacity.
Scott, ever the professional, responded with a dose of his own sass, recording a message where he casually mentioned he was relaxing in a jacuzzi, far from the set of *Severance*, and concluded with a cheeky, “So I guess what I’m trying to say is, again, eat s—.” It’s a masterclass in how to handle overzealous fans—or in this case, overzealous friends—with grace and a touch of humor.
The dynamic between Scott, Shepard, and Bell is a reminder that even celebrities aren’t immune to the addictive pull of a well-crafted mystery. *Severance*, with its labyrinthine plot and psychological twists, has clearly ensnared its audience, including those who might otherwise be too cool to admit they’re hooked. But let’s be real: if your friends are leaving you voicemails that sound like they belong in a hostage negotiation, it’s probably time to reevaluate your life choices—or at least your choice of friends.
And so, the saga of *Severance* continues, both on-screen and off, proving that cliffhangers aren’t just a plot device—they’re a lifestyle.
