Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, has shared a deeply personal childhood experience: an exorcism. The 24-year-old model and actress disclosed the unusual event during an appearance on the Mitch Churi Chat Show, stating she had never spoken about it publicly before.
Gerber recounted that as a child, she was told she was "possessed." The ritual to address this, she revealed, involved a didgeridoo, a wind instrument traditionally associated with Indigenous Australians. "They did the exorcism on me. They put the didgeridoo all over me," Gerber stated, emphasizing the novelty of this revelation.
Her mother, Cindy Crawford, reportedly remained concerned about potential spiritual influences years later. When Gerber starred in the 2021 horror series 'American Horror Story: Double Feature,' Crawford allegedly provided her with holy water as a precaution against possession during filming.
The conversation also delved into Gerber's personal struggles, including body image issues and eating disorders, exacerbated by constant comparisons to her famous mother. She spoke candidly about navigating family difficulties, which led her to adopt a role of being the "problem-free" child who avoided asking for help.
Me hicieron el exorcismo. Me tocaron el didgeridoo por todas partes
