Overview
- In a January 7 episode, cohost Natalie Joy pressed Kroll about his sister Kyle’s death, asking his age at the time, whether he witnessed the fall, and “what was this cliff.”
- Kroll said he was seven, confirmed he was present, declined to identify the town and noted it was later wiped out by a hurricane, while appearing visibly uncomfortable during the exchange.
- Fans condemned the questioning on social media as insensitive, saying the segment pushed beyond reasonable boundaries for discussing childhood trauma.
- Southern Charm’s Rodrigo Reyes called Joy “a POS,” The Valley’s Janet Caperna criticized the interview, and Kristen Doute and Paige DeSorbo showed support through social interactions.
- Nick Viall and Natalie Joy have not publicly responded to the backlash, and Kroll’s representative declined to comment to Page Six.
