Kaia Gerber, the SoCal model and actress, recently dropped a jaw-dropping revelation about her youth while chatting with The Mitch Churi Chat Show. The 24-year-old claimed she was once thought to be possessed, setting the stage for a real-life spooky tale straight out of a Hollywood horror film.
In an atmosphere teeming with paranormal curiosity, Gerber admitted to feeling "haunted" from a young age. She's often found herself the unintentional magnet for what she describes as "beings from other dimensions." "I attract beings from other dimensions in a very casual and chill way," she quipped. The revelation is certainly an LA-worthy twist, blending her real life with her many roles in horror.
“I was told I was possessed as a child,” she said, adding a layer of intrigue to her already storied life.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Kaia's supermodel mom, Cindy Crawford, showed her concern during the filming of American Horror Story: Double Feature in 2021. Armed with holy water, Crawford's motherly instincts kicked in to shield her daughter from any malevolent spirits she might encounter on set.
"She was like, ‘I don’t want you to get possessed,’” recalled Gerber, pointing out her mother's protective nature. This concern wasn't out of the blue; it harked back to that childhood period when whispers of possession first emerged.
Gerber even confessed to undergoing a peculiar exorcism, which featured an unexpected musical element - a didgeridoo. "They played a didgeridoo all over me!" she laughed, ensuring everyone knew this wasn't just Hollywood drama but indeed a piece of her past.
Kaia's paranormal experiences seem almost fitting given her acting career. She's made waves in the horror genre, starring in American Horror Story's 10th season and its spinoff, American Horror Stories. Her forthcoming project, FX’s The Shards, follows a chilling thriller narrative right in the heart of Los Angeles.
Yet, it's not all ghost stories and screen time for Gerber. The model-actress has also been candid about her real-world struggles, especially around body image and mental health. In a recent Vogue interview, she opened up about the relentless comparisons to her mother and the harsh realities of the fashion industry.
“Negativity has never saved someone’s life,” she said, addressing the industry's current obsession with ultra-thin bodies. For Kaia, balancing this pressure while navigating her own personal challenges remains a poignant chapter of her Hollywood story.
