Kaia Gerber Says She Has Had 'Disordered Eating'

The Vogue interview ties industry thinness cycles to rising stress around body image, urging compassion rather than public criticism.

Overview

  • Gerber told Vogue Tuesday that she has experienced disordered eating and that negative comments about her appearance do not help recovery.
  • She said Hollywood is in a 'very, very, very thin' cycle that increased pressure on her body image and led to frequent comparisons with her mother, Cindy Crawford.
  • Gerber said she accepts that her 'nepo baby' status has helped her career while also creating extra scrutiny and pressure to prove herself.
  • Reporting on the Vogue cover notes her current acting role in Ryan Murphy’s series The Shards and shows multiple outlets in the U.S. and U.K. have amplified her interview.
  • News coverage reminded readers that eating disorders are recognized mental-health conditions and pointed to NHS-style guidance advising anyone concerned to seek medical help from a GP or specialist.
