Kaia Gerberis opening up about family struggles involving her brother Presley, as he made headlines over the years related to his longtime drug addiction.
The 24-year-old model and actor recently graced the cover of Vogue magazine alongside her The Shards co-star Homer Gere. During the interview, Gerber made a rare comment about her "very human" older brother Presley, who's made headlines since 2019 about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.
“When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” said Gerber. “I think that’s also why I started to self-identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help. Because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing."
She adds that her parents,Cindy Crawfordand Rande Gerber, have kept their family life "very, very private" and "didn't share anything" about their son's struggles. Instead, Presley chose to speak publicly about his experiences, earning his sister's praise for facing them openly.
“We have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’ There’s only so much you can hide from the world,” she explained. "And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them."
In 2019, Presley was arrested on a DUI charge at the age of 19 and pleaded no contest with a probation sentence, community service, and an alcohol-education program. It was later reported by media outlets that he had been previously sent to a rehabilitation facility in the hope of getting him help.
In December 2025, Presley began to openly talk about his struggles with alcohol, drugs, and his mental health. He posted on Instagram that he was taking Buprenorphine, a drug used to treat opioid use disorder and pain, as well as a small dose of Xanax for panic attacks

Between doctors and research, he openly said they were figuring out the right dosage of medication and “hopefully between my research and their research and the world and God, we can finally figure this out.” He also disclosed having had a fentanyl overdose in 2024 that left him in a coma for several days.
In his recovery journey, he revealed having stopped drinking alcohol after his birthday in July 205. He explained that the alcohol was "no longer serving" him and has found ways to cope through exercise and saunas.
"So you feel like you’re not alone, because that is how I feel most of the time and I have a feeling that if I say all of this, a lot of people will at least know that there's someone else going through it,” he said about having posted about his journey. “And the second thing is, hopefully I find some people out here and are willing to help or know someone that can help.”
