Model Presley Gerber dies Sunday at a rehabilitation facility in California, prompting renewed attention to comments made by broadcaster Megyn Kelly about Cindy Crawford and the family’s parenting.
According to outlets covering the reaction, Kelly criticized Crawford’s handling of her son after Presley’s death, suggesting that there “must have been” serious issues within the family. The comments are described as tying back to an earlier public moment involving a tattoo on Presley’s face that Kelly characterized as a “misunderstood” choice. Multiple reports say Kelly’s remarks drew sharp criticism online and from viewers who argued the comments were inappropriate given the circumstances.
Other coverage focuses less on the specific tattoo reference and more on the broader issue of tone and timing, noting that the backlash centers on whether Kelly’s speculation about family problems is fair or respectful after a death. The reporting collectively frames the controversy as a dispute over public commentary following a personal tragedy, with critics calling it insensitive while the underlying claims remain contested.
