Will Arnett snaps at Jason Bateman over Amy Poehler question
Will Arnett is staying mum about his marriage to Amy Poehler.
The “Arrested Development” star snapped at his “Smartless” podcast co-host Jason Bateman after he asked whether Arnett ever pooped in front of the “Parks and Recreation” actress.
“Will, did you ever poo in front of Amy?” Bateman, 57, asked on Monday’s episode.
“Are you looking for clicks?” Arnett hit back. “Are you trying to get something that we can click around?”
The “Ozark” alum then continued to try to ask Arnett the question — despite his initial response.
“I always forget people listening to this. Wait, but hang on. You were married to her, had two kids. You guys never went to the bathroom in front of each other?” Bateman asked again.
Arnett, 56, replied, “I’m sorry. The question is, did I poo in front of Amy? And you’re saying that I don’t have manners? What are you talking about?”
When Bateman said he believed it “was a good question,” Arnett disagreed.
“It’s not a good question. I refuse to answer it. I refuse to answer that. It’s none of your f–king business,” the “Is This Thing On?” voice actor said.
Arnett then shared that his ex-wife is “going to be outraged” by Bateman’s comments.
Arnett and Poehler were married from 2003 to 2016 and share two sons: Archie, 17, and Abel, 15. (The actor is also a dad to Alexander, whom he welcomed in 2020 with his ex Alessandra Brawn.)
In Poehler’s 2014 memoir, “Yes Please,” she got candid about why she rarely speaks about her divorce.
“I don’t want to talk about my divorce because it is too sad and too personal,” she wrote, noting that she avoids speaking about it because she “also don’t like people knowing [her] s–t.”
However, the “SNL” alum said she wanted to clear up “a few things.”
“I am proud of how my ex-husband, Will, and I have been taking care of our children; I am beyond grateful he is their father; and I don’t think a [nearly] ten-year marriage constitutes failure,” she penned.
“That being said, getting a divorce really sucks.”
