Kolber was also once highly criticized after making 21-year-old Mark Ingram, one of the most-watched players of 2011's NFL draft, cry during an interview. Kolber read a highly personal email from Ingram's father, who was in jail at the time. The letter expressed Ingram's father's feelings toward him, and many people felt Kolber was manipulative. She was accused of making the superstar cry to increase ratings and viewership for her network.
