"Kris getting Tristan a deal with ESPN??? After he not once, twice but betrayed your daughter 3x plus in her most vulnerable state. It’s beyond weird & the ultimate breaking of trust between a daughter and mother," one social media user expressed.

Another critic questioned: "How have they continued to fold this betrayer into their family and business and to promote him? They don't need to hate him but why continue to embrace this man who has damaged their flesh and blood so deeply?"
