Cindy Crawford continues to criticize Kaia Gerber's ex-boyfriend Austin Butler

Almost a year has passed since Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler ended their relationship, yet Cindy Crawford is reportedly still upset about the breakup. According to sources speaking to the National Enquirer, the 59-year-old supermodel was never fond of the 34-year-old actor and continues to speak negatively about him within Hollywood circles.

Kaia wanted a serious future with Austin, which is why he was welcomed into the family, the source explains. But at heart, he was more of a party-goer. Theres a strong argument that he used the relationship to advance his own career in Hollywood.

Although Gerber, 24, has moved forward and is now dating Top Gun: Maverick actor Lewis Pullman, her mother seems unable to let go. Cindy has been openly challenging the narrative that Austin is some innocent figure who got distracted by fame and an Oscar nod, the source says. She refuses to let that perception persist.

Instead, Cindy reportedly reminds others that Austin was aware of the situation and enjoyed the attention that came with being part of such a high-profile family. For a period, he clearly thrived on the spotlight that came from being associated with them, adds the source.

What frustrates Crawford the most, according to the insider, is that Butlers strategy appears to have been successful. Austin has managed to significantly elevate his profile, the source notes. Meanwhile, Gerber, who has transitioned from modeling to acting, remains largely in supporting roles despite her efforts, which is particularly irritating for Cindy.
