Kaia Gerber surprises fans by recalling an alleged exorcism during her childhood and explains why Cindy Crawford gave her holy water years later.
Kaia Gerber has shared one of the most unusual and previously unknown stories from her childhood. The model and actress, daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, claims that when she was a child she underwent what those around her considered to be an exorcism, an experience she had never discussed publicly before and has now revisited while talking about her relationship with horror and supernatural phenomena.
The revelation emerged during a conversation on The Mitch Churi Chat Show, where Gerber recalled her involvement in American Horror Story. That professional experience prompted particular concern from her mother, who even gave her holy water before she went to the set.
According to the actress, Cindy Crawford was worried that working on a production connected to horror might somehow expose her daughter to something supernatural. The surprising part came when Gerber linked that concern to an incident that had taken place many years earlier.
‘I was told I was possessed when I was a child,’ the model said during the interview. When asked to explain what had happened, she added that the story had haunted her throughout her life.
The most unexpected detail was the method that, according to her recollection, was used during the alleged ritual. Kaia Gerber said a didgeridoo was played around her body as part of the procedure that those around her interpreted as an exorcism.
The didgeridoo is a traditional wind instrument associated with Aboriginal Australian peoples, particularly known for producing a deep, sustained sound. Its appearance in Gerber’s account made the confession one of the most surprising moments of the interview.
The actress insisted that the incident really did happen and said that she had never previously spoken about it publicly. Her comments reflect her own recollection and her family’s interpretation of the experience, with no additional information available to establish exactly what happened during her childhood.
The story also provides further context for Cindy Crawford’s reaction when her daughter began working on American Horror Story. What might otherwise have appeared to be a simple superstition apparently carried a different significance for the family because of that earlier experience.
Gerber appeared in the tenth season of the acclaimed series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, marking one of her first major acting roles as she gradually began expanding her career beyond modelling and into television and film.
The fashion world has, of course, always been closely connected to Kaia Gerber. She followed in Cindy Crawford’s professional footsteps from an early age and quickly became one of the most sought-after models of her generation, working with major designers and fronting numerous international campaigns.
In recent years, however, she has simultaneously developed a career as an actress. That new chapter is now taking her back into darker territory with The Shards, a series in which she plays Susan Reynolds.
The production adapts the 2023 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. Set in Los Angeles in 1981, the story follows a group of final-year students at an exclusive school whose lives are progressively disrupted by the presence of a serial killer.
