Overview
- Gerber told the Mitch Churi Chat Show on Friday, Aug. 14, that she was told she was possessed as a child and that an exorcism was performed in which a didgeridoo was played over her body.
- She said her mother, Cindy Crawford, once gave her holy water to take to the set of American Horror Story in 2021 because she feared possession, and Gerber described herself as now being "all healed."
- The comments were made during press for The Shards and have been widely repeated across entertainment outlets; the account is attributed to Gerber and has not been independently verified.
- Several outlets and commentators have flagged cultural‑sensitivity concerns over the reported use of a didgeridoo, a traditional Indigenous Australian instrument, in an exorcism context.
- Reporters note the disclosure sits alongside Gerber’s recent candid interviews about body image and family life, and it illustrates how personal revelations can be amplified during an active publicity cycle.
