Why Presley Gerber’s Closest Friends Secretly Feared for Him

Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died at 27 in a Santa Monica sober-living home. Before the headlines, his closest friends and family had quietly feared for him for years. This documentary traces that fear through his own words and theirs: his sister Kaia Gerber calling him her best friend for life, a 2018 DUI arrest, the 2020 under-eye tattoo reading "misunderstood," his 2023 podcast admission that mental health was "a 24/7 job," a December 2025 video naming 15 psychiatrists and the medications he was taking, and a March 2026 ibogaine treatment in Cancun that his parents publicly called walking through fire. It follows his final weekend at Resolutions Living, the ongoing state inquiry into the home, and the tributes from Kaia Gerber, Paris Hilton, Brooklyn Beckham, Kid Rock and others who called him, above all, kind.
