Kelly Clarkson Cracks Up Over Kristen Bell’s Hilarious “Threesome” Sex Scene Story
On the October 23, 2025, episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, host Kelly Clarkson could barely contain her laughter after guest Kristen Bell dropped a cheeky revelation about filming an intimate scene with Adam Brody on the Showtime series House of Lies. Bell, promoting Season 2 of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This (where she reunites on-screen with Brody as rabbi-coach love interests), shared the anecdote during a candid chat about their past collaborations. The story—equal parts awkward and absurd—left Clarkson doubled over, fanning herself, and declaring it “the best” behind-the-scenes tale she’d heard in ages.
The Juicy Details
Bell explained that back in 2012, during Season 1 of House of Lies, her character Jeannie van der Hooven hooked up with Brody’s guest-star role, but real life added an unexpected twist: Bell was eight and a half months pregnant with her first daughter, Lincoln (now 12), at the time. The scene required her to “mount” Brody while heavily showing, with the production team strategically blurring out her baby bump to keep things steamy.
- Brody’s Hilarious Nickname: “Adam affectionately refers to it as ‘our threesome,'” Bell revealed with a grin, alluding to the “third participant” being her unborn baby. She quickly added, “Which I do not want my daughter to hear!”—prompting Clarkson to erupt into uncontrollable giggles, clutching her chest and gasping for air.
- Bell’s Take on the Awkwardness: Despite the hilarity, Bell praised Brody’s professionalism: “I love and trust him as an individual so much… When I was this much pregnant and I had to, like, mount him, I was just like, ‘Well… morning!'” She emphasized their sibling-like off-screen dynamic—”We get along really well, but we also argue like crazy”—which made the scene both “weird and awkward and funny.”
Clarkson, known for her infectious laugh, “absolutely lost it,” as clips circulating online show her tearing up from laughter while Bell smirked mischievously. The moment has since gone viral, with fans dubbing it “peak Kelly chaos” and praising Bell’s unfiltered vibe.
Broader Interview Highlights
The segment wasn’t all NSFW laughs—Bell also touched on:
- Parenting with “Sassy Kindness”: She and husband Dax Shepard (married since 2013) teach their daughters (Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10) to handle “backstabbing” with witty, non-hurtful comebacks. “Stand for what you believe in while also not necessarily hurting anyone else,” Bell shared, calling it her “vibe in real life.”
- Chemistry with Brody: Their Nobody Wants This reunion builds on The O.C. nostalgia, with Bell noting Brody’s “appealing” awkwardness adds “something weird and wonderful” to scenes.
- No Direct Tie to Recent Backlash: Bell skipped addressing a minor flap over a Dax anniversary post but kept the energy light throughout.
Fan and Media Buzz
Social media exploded with reactions:
- Clips amassed millions of views, with comments like “Kelly’s laugh is contagious—I’m deceased!” and “Kristen spilling tea like a boss.”
- Outlets like BuzzFeed and Yahoo hailed it as “the wildest reveal,” tying it to Bell’s history of boundary-pushing stories (e.g., her daughters’ cheeky Mother’s Day card).
This isn’t Bell’s first Kelly Clarkson Show surprise—past visits included emotional reunions with her high school drama teacher—but this one leaned fully into the fun, unapologetic side of Hollywood confessions.
