Kristen Bell’s husband, Dax Shepard, is preparing to break his silence about some of his most harrowing memories in his upcoming memoir.

On the March 2 episode of Armchair Expert, the 51-year-old actor spoke with Marcus Mumford about his 2022 song Cannibal, which addresses sexual abuse.

During the conversation, Shepard revealed that he plans to share more details about his own story in his upcoming memoir.

“I want to bond with you on this experience, which is, I have for years on here been acknowledging that I had been molested, and that was its own hurdle to just say that,” he said. “And I got quite comfortable being able to say that. That was fine.”

The CHiPs star shared that he is now documenting the incident in his yet-to-be-released memoir.

“Now I’m writing a memoir, and last year really the whole year was about, do I have the balls to write down the details of this?” he added. “Because the details were always gonna be mine. I didn’t want anyone to be envisioning me. It’s weird that that was still some wall between my shame.”

However, Shepard admitted that revisiting the painful memories during the writing process was extremely difficult.

“I bet it took me four months to tell that story,” he continued. “And when I’m writing it, I cannot help but think of people knowing this about me and how exposed that still feels.”

The Hit and Run actor also acknowledged experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions while working on the book.

“I was having really weird, kind of, spikes of emotions and moodiness, and I would forget that's why I was having that. But I finished it, and something about it existing there feels like a lot of weight is off my shoulders,” he noted.

When did Dax Shepard first open up?

Shepard first spoke publicly about being molested as a child in 2020, describing the abuse as “minimal” but acknowledging that it had serious consequences on his life.
