Megyn Kelly Slammed Over Cindy Crawford Parenting Criticism After Son’s Death

Megyn Kelly received negative criticism for her remarks about Cindy Crawford’s parenting in light of her son, Presley Gerber’s death. She alleged that there must have been serious issues within the family. She made the comments in reference to an earlier instance when Gerber got a “misunderstood” tattoo on his face.

Why Megyn Kelly’s Presley Gerber comments sparked a celebrity debate

During an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the host reacted to the news of Gerber’s demise at the age of 27. She alluded to the past incident when Gerber tattooed the word “misunderstood” on his face. At the time, he revealed that the tattoo reflected how he felt all his life.

Kelly allegedly pointed out that such a move by Gerber suggests problems at home. She said, “When your 21-year-old son is getting a face tattoo and the word he chooses is ‘misunderstood,’ you’ve got serious problems in your family.” It is worth noting that the late model had the tattoo removed later.

Kelly’s remarks over Gerber’s death sparked massive outrage on the internet, with fans and industry mates slamming her for being insensitive during someone’s grieving period. “Unless the mother strangled them to death with an exercise band, it’s typically considered poor form, in the wake of their child’s death … to criticize their grieving parents. Goblinesque, really,” TV star Spencer Pratt wrote.

New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov added, referencing how Kelly made similar remarks during Hayden Panettiere’s death. She said, “She did the same thing to Hayden’s family. She has no soul.” Other reactions from users were: “I assume she thinks it’s her job to position the moral high-ground. But it comes off as messy, unkind and unnecessary,” “A young man is dead, and your first instinct is to critique his parents. This isn’t insight. It’s cruelty dressed up as commentary,” and “what a disgrace. I used to like you, till you went off the deep end. Leave the family alone” (via TheWrap)
