Presley Gerber was 27 years old when he was found dead at a rehabilitation center in California on September 20, 2026.
The police are investigating a possible overdose. His mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford, and his father, Rande Gerber, had barely begun to process the loss when Megyn Kelly lit the fuse.
One day later, on her podcast, the host brought up a detail from six years ago: in 2020, at just 21, Presley had tattooed the word ‘misunderstood’ under his right eye—the ink he later had removed.
“When your 21-year-old son tattoos his face with that word, you have serious problems in your family”, Kelly fired off, also bringing up a DUI that Presley faced while underage.
The reaction was swift. Spencer Pratt himself called her ‘goblin-like’ on social media, and thousands of users accused Kelly of turning a family’s grief into scandal material.
Presley had spoken publicly about therapy and sobriety, and about what it meant to grow up under cameras that never switched off.
