Chris Pratt called a 'misogynist' for jokingly mocking his wife's cooking

Was he just joking? You decide!

Chris Pratt has come under fire after jokingly trolling his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger over her cooking.

The Jurassic Park star had taken to his Instagram account on October 19 to show a burnt bagel bite made by Schwarzenegger. While some people saw it as a joke and took the picture in good humour, many began calling out the Hollywood star for mocking the children's book author's cooking skills, reported Outlook India.

Over the past few days though, criticism against Pratt has grown, with some people accusing the actor of being sexist. A user wrote on social media, "Ladies, this is the kind of post that happens when you marry a misogynist. Chris Pratt may hide it pretty well but the misogyny rings loud and clear through the sarcasm. Many think you're trying to be funny at her expense. Real comedy is not made at the expense of others."

Agreeing with the first commenter, another said, "I completely agree with you. He's condescending. Of course, she goes along with it because deep down, she knows she is replaceable. This guy plays on her insecurities."

Another user wrote, "Does it normally go well for you when you publicly shame your wife?" while another added, "Comedy shows are usually funny. Sorry but his post is not."



Many, however, have come in Pratt's defence as well. "Pretty sure this is just funny married humour but feel free to way over think and put your agenda all over it. Really, you are thinking way too deeply in to this," one fan reacted. Another said, "People are so sensitive these days. It''s ridiculous! He is simply teasing his wife in a loving way. He is allowed to do that."

Schwarzenegger herself did not seem offended by the joke. In fact, she replied to her husband's post in the comments section too. "Looks like my plan to just have you do the cooking is working out very well," she said.
