After Jack Schlossberg\u2019s sister, Tatiana, has spoken publicly about her devastating terminal cancer diagnosis, some of his past detractors are offering apologies. <\/p>\n
A source tells Page Six that Jack \u2014 the TikTok influencer and congressional hopeful son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg \u2014\u00a0faced Internet trolls earlier this year when he suddenly shaved his head, with online commenters chalking it up as a stunt for attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wrestled with telling social media why he shaved his head \u2014 because he was so castigated for it,\u201d says a pal. \u201cSome of the haters were using it to say \u2018Look. Look. He is crazy.\u2019 Despite all that, he refused to exactly say why he did it. It wasn\u2019t his news to share. It was his sister\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Jack, who\u2019s known for his sometimes zany social media posts, shaved his head to support his sister during her cancer battle.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow people know and they know a lot more about who he is as a person,\u201d says the source. \u201cSome people have reached out to basically say \u2018I\u2019m sorry I said s\u2013t. I didn\u2019t know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
