Sophie Monk has blasted Australian model Miranda Kerr's family for speaking out about their absent daughter in a television program.
During her 2DayFM breakfast show on Wednesday, Monk said she was disgusted by the family's decision to speak candidly to the ABC's Family Confidential about not seeing the model or her son Flynn in over a year.
"I find it disgusting," Monk said.
"It's not solving anything by offloading and putting her down."
In the half-hour program which aired on Tuesday night, Kerr's mother Therese, father John and younger brother Matthew said they hoped Miranda would come back to Australia.
Her grandmother, Ann, said she missed Flynn and didn't want the three-year-old to miss out on the Australian upbringing his mother had in Gunnedah.
"It's very nice where they are but it's nothing like Australia, nothing," she told the ABC.
Monk, who previously moved to the United States to further her career, said Kerr's family should be supporting the New York-based model.
"They've abandoned her," she said.
"Why are they putting her down, their own family member?"
In the show John Kerr revealed that it was actually British actor Orlando Bloom who told him over the phone that the couple were getting a divorce after three years of marriage, and not his daughter.
