Nick Viall and Natalie Joy Made a Private Apology to Austen Kroll, Salley Carson Says

Salley Carson says the private outreach has not eased demands for a public apology from the podcast hosts.

Overview

  • Carson told Page Six Radio that both Viall and Joy phoned Kroll to apologize following criticism of their Jan. 7 The Viall Files episode.
  • No public apology has been issued, and representatives for Viall, Joy, and Kroll did not provide immediate comment in the coverage.
  • During the interview, Natalie Joy abruptly asked about Kroll’s sister who died at age 9, prompting Kroll to say, “Okay we are switching gears,” as he appeared uncomfortable.
  • Backlash from viewers and Bravo personalities continued, with Rodrigo Reyes and Janet Caperna condemning the line of questioning on social media.
  • Coverage recalls Kroll’s sister Kyle died in a North Carolina hiking accident when he was a child, and notes the hosts previously faced December criticism over comments about Whitney Leavitt.
