Kaia Gerber Says She Underwent Childhood Exorcism That Involved a Didgeridoo

She made the claim while promoting FX’s The Shards which raises questions about use of an Indigenous Australian instrument outside its cultural context.

Overview

  • Kaia Gerber told The Mitch Churi Chat Show on Tuesday that her parents believed she was possessed as a child and that she had an exorcism.
  • Gerber described the ritual as people “playing a didgeridoo all over me” and said she has long felt haunted and that she “attracts beings from the other dimension.”
  • She said her mother, Cindy Crawford, once gave her holy water to take to the American Horror Story set because she feared possession.
  • News outlets note the account is self-reported and unverified and that no family statement or independent confirmation has emerged since Gerber’s interview.
  • The didgeridoo is a traditional wind instrument of Aboriginal Australians and reporters have highlighted cultural‑sensitivity concerns plus a lack of evidence that the instrument is commonly used in exorcisms.
