She pointed to an earlier incident when Gerber tattooed the word misunderstood on his face. Kelly said during the episode that when your 21-year-old son is getting a face tattoo and the word he chooses is misunderstood, you have got serious problems in your family.

He later had the tattoo removed, and the incident was widely covered in entertainment media.The remarks quickly triggered massive outrage online, with fans and industry peers slamming Kelly for being insensitive during a family's grieving period.
