Kate Upton Supermodel Freaks Fans Out With Cryptic Message Addresses Troubling Scenario to Cops, Judges and Parents
Kate Upton is out to her millions of Instagram followers about a very troubling scenario ... and it's safe to say she has people worried.
The supermodel recently posted on her Instagram stories a cryptic and disturbing question ... addressing her query to "lawyers/judges/advocates/law enforcement/parents" before going into detail.
Her message continued ... "A Dad, recently out of rehab, is traveling alone with his 10-year-old daughter. He gets drunk and high on pills, says he has a gun on him and threatens to SHOOT the taxi driver if he does NOT drop them of on the highway at midnight to walk home."
She added that the taxi driver in the scenario refused ... and "would rather be shot than drop the little girl off on the highway" ... with the conclusion, "Is this an emergency? A Crime? Would you be scared for your child?"
Fans were baffled by the question ... and had no idea how to take what appeared to be a serious ask from "Sweet Dreams" star.
Kate and her MLB star husband Justin Verlander share a 6-year-old daughter named Genevive ... the couple married in November 2017, but there's obviously no way of knowing if the message is at all related to someone in her inner circle.
We're out to Kate's rep for clarity ... so far, no word back.

Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic is just one day away ... and future Hall of Famer, Dominick Cruz, is breaking down the fight, dubbed by many the greatest heavyweight bout in UFC history!
Dom talked to TMZ Sports on Friday -- just hours before Jones and Miocic will battle in the UFC 309 main event at Madison Square Garden in NYC -- and he believes either man could potentially win the fight.
Miocic is 42 years old and has a 20-4 record, including victories over Francis Ngannou, Daniel Cormier, Junior dos Santos, Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, and more.
Jones is 37 years old and is 27-1. The lone loss -- a BS disqualification in 2009. Jon has beaten the likes of D.C., Glover Teixeira, Alexander Gustafsson, Chael Sonnen (the American Gangster's still undefeated), Vitor Belfort, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida, and more.
Cruz points out Jon is only fighting for the second time as a heavyweight (Jones' legendary run came as a light heavyweight) ... and he's coming off a torn bicep, a serious injury.
In his lone heavyweight fight, Bones dominated Ciryl Gane ... handing him just the second defeat of his career.
Stipe, too, has faced adversity. Miocic has dealt with injuries, and hasn't fought since March 2021 (he lost to Ngannou).
Cruz, who personally dealt with long layoffs due to injury, talks about potential "ring rust" for the former heavyweight champ.
Check out the full convo with Dom ... who also gets into the evolution of the MMA fighter, a potential mega matchup between Jones and Tom Aspinall, and much more!
