Khuri drew a lot of criticism for giving his teenage son the $200,000 Lamborghini as a birthday gift in 2020. As reported by us earlier, Khuri raised many eyebrows after Celeb magazine reported: "Sources tell us that there was an incident in Beverly Hills a few days after the accident, and Khuri was surrounded by armed guards. The incident occurred when an unnamed person screamed, "killer!" at Khuri. Khuri allegedly was laughing and joking like nothing was wrong, his behavior nonchalant and disturbing in the wake of the tragedy his family had just days before been embroiled in."
The website also quoted a source who stated that Khuri could be giving a lot of money into internet marketing to build positive searches around his name, as it was pretty clear by the flood of articles on the web dated from late 2020 to early 2021. He has also reportedly spent money cleaning up on the internet so that nothing about this accident pops up in relation to his name.
In response to Munoz's death, Khuri issued an official apology on his Instagram account: “I am aware that the time it is taking me to communicate this has caused further pain for everyone affected. Knowing that this will never do justice for the family of Monique Munoz, I want to apologize to the Munoz family for the tragic loss of their daughter.” He added, “There are no words I can say to alleviate the pain that you are experiencing. And I realize none of my words or actions will be able to bring back your daughter. Still, I want to offer my support in any way you will allow me to. My family and I pray for the Munoz family.”
