Kaia Gerber discusses family struggles and childhood legacy

Overview

Model and actress Kaia Gerber has shared personal insights regarding her struggles with body image, mental health, and disordered eating. In interviews, including a cover story for Vogue, she addressed the pressures of Hollywood aesthetic standards and the media tendency to compare her to her mother, Cindy Crawford. Gerber noted that “Negativity has never saved anyone’s life” when discussing public commentary on her appearance. She also addressed misogynistic labels regarding her past romances, describing her current relationship with actor Lewis Pullman as a “low-pressure and healing dynamic.”

Gerber discussed her family dynamics, specifically how her brother Presley Gerber’s long-term struggle with substance abuse and mental health affected their household. She described how she often assumed the role of “the easy one” or the “problem-free” child to avoid placing additional burdens on her parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford. She expressed pride in Presley’s decision to be open about his journey, noting that secrecy can make individuals feel as though their families are ashamed of them.

In appearances on the ‘Mitch Churi Chat Show’, Gerber recounted unusual childhood experiences involving her mother. She claimed that Crawford once believed she was possessed by entities from other dimensions, which led to an attempted exorcism involving a didgeridoo. Gerber clarified that these were real experiences, stating, “They played a didgeridoo all over me! That’s how they did the exorcism.” She also recalled Crawford providing her with holy water for the set of ‘American Horror Story: Double Feature’ in 2021 to prevent potential possession. Gerber, who is currently promoting the FX series ‘The Shards’, noted that she currently feels “all healed.”

Cindy Crawford has since addressed the physical resemblance between her and Kaia, noting the complexities of Kaia growing up in her shadow while expressing pride in their independent identities.
