In a recent interview, the model revisited that chapter of her life, one she says she had long tried to leave behind. However, the constant media attention continues to pull her back in, something she describes as emotionally draining.
“It’s hard because I don’t look back on that as a fond time, on reflection,” Cross shared, noting that she was never pressured or warned to stay silent. Addressing Brooklyn’s explosive statement, Cross admitted they caught her off guard, but they also reflected what she encountered with the clan.
“It was a bit shocking to me that he did that. It was a surprise,” she said. “I guess it shocked his family, too… but it summed up a lot of my own experiences as well and the way that their family as a brand does act.”

“There were a lot of warning signs and things that happened during the relationship that, in hindsight, should have made me think and maybe end the relationship or walk away from it a lot sooner than I did,” the 28-year-old added.
Cross noted that at the time she was still young and did not have anyone she could confide in about her struggles. Despite the difficulties, she ultimately hoped the famous clan would reconcile, stressing the importance of unity and togetherness.
