Kaia Gerber: Body Image Struggles Linked to Mom Cindy Crawford

Kaia Gerber has opened up about her past battles with disordered eating, stemming from relentless comparisons to her famous mother, Cindy Crawford. The model shared with Vogue that growing up, she often felt she did not measure up to her supermodel mother, leading to her experiencing negative comments about her body from a young age.

Gerber discussed the cyclical nature of body image trends and how her naturally thin physique often drew criticism. She expressed a desire for a different body type and highlighted how constant commentary on her appearance negatively impacted her mental health. She stated that negativity has never been a catalyst for recovery.

Additionally, Gerber reflected on the family dynamic shaped by her brother Presley's public struggles with addiction. She explained that his needs led her to self-identify as the "easy one," hesitant to ask for help herself. Gerber found inspiration in her brother's bravery for openly sharing his journey, noting that trying to conceal such issues only leads to shame.
