Kaia Gerber is opening up about the otherworldly exorcism she says she underwent as a child. The 24-year-old actor and daughter of Cindy Crawford spoke about being “haunted” during an appearance on Australia’s “The Mitch Churi Chat Show,” released last week. “My mom gave me holy water to go to [the “American Horror Story”] set with because she was like, ‘I don’t want you to get possessed,’” Gerber said. “I was told I was possessed as a child.” Host Mitch Churi refused to skip Gerber’s confession and made her circle back. “Don’t gloss over that. Why, Kaia, why? Like, were you just a shit of a kid?” he quipped. “I just was possessed. I was haunted, my whole life,” Gerber replied. “Wait, did they exorcise you? Did you have an exorcism?” the host asked. “I actually did,” Gerber shared before getting excited. “And do you know ― this is actually perfect for you,” she said, alluding to the fact that Churi is Australian. “Do you know how they did the exorcism? They played a didgeridoo all over me. That’s how they did the exorcism,” she explained as the host expressed disbelief. A didgeridoo is an Australian wind instrument best known for making a low, droning or buzzing sound. “Oh my god, Kaia Gerber. OK, that’s a wrap,” the host joked. “Look at me. Did that actually happen?” “That actually did happen,” Gerber said. “I’ve never talked about it, but that actually did happen.” Gerber is the daughter of Crawford and entrepreneur Randy Gerber, who cofounded Casamigos with George Clooney and businessman Mike Meldman. While she has found success starring in “American Horror Story,” “Bottoms” and “Saturday Night,” Gerber has acknowledged her nepo baby label. “I won’t deny the privilege that I have,” Gerber said in an interview with Elle magazine in 2023. “Even if it’s just the fact that I have a really great source of information and someone to give me great advice, that alone I feel very fortunate for. My mom always joked, ‘If I could call and book a Chanel campaign, it would be for me and not you.’ But I also have met amazing people through my mom whom I now get to work with.” By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
