Presley Gerber's Tragic Passing: The Questions Everyone's Asking New

Presley Gerber's Tragic Passing: The Questions Everyone's Asking

“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”According to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Presley died Sunday at a rehabilitation facility.At this stage, however, officials have not publicly determined what caused his death.An autopsy remained pending in the initial reports, meaning it would be premature to connect Presley’s death to any of the mental-health or substance-use struggles he had previously discussed publicly.Presley Walker Gerber was born on July 2, 1999, to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.Growing up as the son of one of the most recognizable supermodels in the world meant Presley was familiar with the spotlight from an early age.He was the older brother of Kaia Gerber, who would also go on to establish a successful career in modeling and acting.Like his mother and sister, Presley eventually entered the fashion world himself.He began modeling as a teenager and worked with major names in the industry, appearing in fashion campaigns and walking runways.But in more recent years, Presley also became increasingly candid about a far more personal side of his life.He publicly discussed his mental health and experiences with substance use and recovery, choosing at times to address subjects that his famous family had historically kept private.In December 2025, Presley spoke openly on Instagram about the difficulties he was experiencing.“I feel like honesty is the best policy,” he told his followers.He discussed his use of benzodiazepines and said the amount had fluctuated depending on what was happening in his life.Presley also explained that he’d experienced significant personal losses, while making clear that he wasn’t offering those circumstances as an excuse.His willingness to talk publicly about his struggles appeared to be part of a broader effort to make others dealing with similar problems feel less isolated.Presley also launched social-media discussions around mental health, using his platform to encourage more openness about subjects that can often carry stigma.His sister, Kaia, spoke candidly about her brother only weeks before his death.In a September 2026 Vogue cover story published in August, Kaia described Presley’s experience as a decade-long struggle with drug addiction.She also explained how his difficulties had affected their entire family.“When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” she said.Kaia reflected on how those circumstances influenced her own behavior while growing up, explaining that she began thinking of herself as the “easy one” in the family and became reluctant to ask for help because she felt having two children struggling would be too much.Despite discussing the painful realities of Presley’s addiction, Kaia also expressed pride in her brother’s willingness to speak publicly about what he had experienced.For a family that spent decades living under intense public attention, Presley’s decision to discuss his struggles openly offered people a glimpse behind the polished photographs and glamorous careers.Presley and Kaia had also shared parts of their professional lives.Both entered modeling young, following a path made famous by their mother.But Presley’s public identity increasingly extended beyond simply being “Cindy Crawford’s son.”He appeared determined to talk honestly about the difficult parts of his life as well as the privileged ones.That openness now carries additional poignancy following the news of his death.Presley had continued to be seen publicly with his family in recent months, reinforcing the close connection he maintained with his parents and sister.Now Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and Kaia Gerber are mourning a loss few families could ever be prepared for.Presley was Cindy and Rande’s only son and Kaia’s only brother.For now, many questions surrounding his final hours remain unanswered.Authorities have confirmed that he died at a rehabilitation facility, but an official cause of death had not been released in the initial reports.Until the medical examiner completes the investigation, any suggestion about precisely what led to his death would be speculation.What is known is that Presley had spent recent years speaking more openly about some of the most difficult battles of his life.He talked about mental health.He talked about substance use.And he talked about wanting honesty around those struggles rather than silence.His family is now asking for that same deeply personal part of their lives to be treated with privacy as they grieve.Presley Gerber was 27 years old.

Rep. Nancy Mace couldn’t make it more obvious.The outgoing congresswoman posted a picture of herself at the University of South Carolina game with the caption “Go COCKS!” Saturday.The double entendre — a reference to the nickname of the SC Gamecocks mascots — came after she said men are flooding her DMs with intimate pics of themselves — and she wants it to stop.Just to make sure everyone understood where her head was, Mace (R-SC) added, “IYKYK,” if you know, you know. Last week, Mace, 48, told TMZ that she wants men to “stop sending d–k pics. Subscribe to the podcast.”TMZ asked her if men sent her explicit photos and she responded with “sometimes, and that’s just nasty.” Nancy Mace posted a jokey picture at a University of South Carolina Gamecocks game Saturday. X/@NancyMaceMace also told TMZ that she rejects every man who slides into her DMs.On Sunday, Mace posted a video of her talking to the camera about a disappointing date, stating that she has gone off men and has no current interest in dating again.“I know it is lonely, but I don’t have any friends up here,” Mace said, referring to Washington. She added that she puts her whole life into work — and dating is difficult as a twice-divorced mom of two with grown kids. Rep.

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Tribute to Her Son Before Tragic Loss New

Cindy Crawford's Heartfelt Tribute to Her Son Before Tragic Loss

Cindy Crawford expressed her love for son Presley Gerber in a sweet birthday tribute shared just two months before his death. "Happy birthday @presleygerber �� I’m so proud of the man you’ve become, but I'll always see you as my little boy! Love you ❤️," Crawford, 60, wrote via Instagram on July 2. Alongside her message, Crawford shared a throwback photo from her son's childhood and a more recent selfie. News broke on Sunday, September 20, that Presley died at the age of 27. "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time," read a statement to Us from the Crawford-Gerber family. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Presley was at a rehab facility when he died. A cause of death has not yet been revealed. In an interview published days before Presley's death, Crawford opened up about her new life as an empty nester. (The supermodel also shares daughter Kaia Gerber with husband Rande Gerber.) "When they become adults, all of a sudden you're like, 'OK, I've got to back off here.' It might not be the way I would do it, but you know," she told PORTER magazine this month. Crawford continued, "When you get married, you talk about what kind of family you want or where we're going to live. But no one ever talks about what this phase looks like, empty nesting, because it's so far away you can't even imagine it. But it's an opportunity for us to redefine our relationship." Crawford noted that it's been "fun" to figure out what her next chapter with Rande looks like. She also revealed that she's "looking forward" to becoming a grandmother someday. "I'm at the age where a lot of my friends are starting to have grandkids, and even though I don't think either one of my kids is close, I do hope I get to experience that, because it looks really fun," she said. Ahead of his death, Presley spoke candidly about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. In what would become his final public appearance, Presley was joined by his parents at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch event at Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu on June 11, where he opened up about his journey. "The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself," he said at the time.

Presley Gerber's Tragic Passing: The Heartbreaking Details Emerging New

Presley Gerber's Tragic Passing: The Heartbreaking Details Emerging

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son, Presley Gerber, has died. Us confirmed in the late hours of Sunday, September 20, that Presley died in a rehab facility, per records obtained online through the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. He was 27 years old. TMZ was first to report the news, with the outlet noting that an autopsy is yet to be completed. Us has reached out to representatives for Cindy, 60, and Rande, 64. A statement from the family was shared with TMZ on Sunday. “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” it read. Last month, Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, publicly commented on her brother’s battle with addiction. “When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” the actress and model, 25, said during an interview with Vogue published on August 11. “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.” Kaia also discussed her Malibu upbringing alongside Presley as her mom remained an international supermodel. “Unfortunately all the things that people assume are true. I was in the ocean every day. My brother would go surfing and then walk up to school in his wetsuit with his surfboard, barefoot. You’re with the same kids from preschool to when you graduate,” Kaia said of the siblings’ upbringing. “There were no Ubers there, so your parents were driving you to parties and then picking you up. There was only so much trouble you could get into.” Presley had shared his mental health battles via candid Instagram posts in recent months. In an act of full transparency in December 2025, he detailed his medication routine at the time. “Here’s some clarity for ya — the truth will set you free (hopefully) haha,” he captioned the clip. “I feel like honesty is the best policy.” Presley then went through his list of current medications, which included one milligram of Buprenorphine two times a day. (Buprenorphine is intended to treat opioid use disorder and pain.) He continued, “Benzos have been fluctuating up and down depending on what’s been going on in my life,” adding that he “had a lot of loss in many different forms recently.” (Benzos or Benzodiazepines assist in slowing down “activity in your brain and nervous system” and are used to treat “anxiety and related mental health conditions,” according to Cleveland Clinic.) The video, filmed inside a sauna, also revealed that Presley was taking a small dose of Xanax to treat panic attacks. “I try to take as little of that as possible,” he explained, adding that he also took Valium but the dosage varied at the time. The video also stated that he had experienced a lack of “direction” from doctors in the past. “I’d like doctors to be like, ‘Take this three times a day,’” he said. “But every psychiatrist I’ve had — and I’ve had 15 — are like, ‘Here’s 20 medications and take this if you feel like this, take this as needed.’” Presley concluded, “I’m hoping this reaches people in many ways … so you feel like you’re not alone, because that is how I feel most of the time. I have a feeling if I say all of this, a lot of people will at least know that there’s someone else going through it.” If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Taylor Swift's Bold Gesture at Chiefs Game Sparks Frenzy New

Taylor Swift's Bold Gesture at Chiefs Game Sparks Frenzy

For the second time in six days, Taylor Swift took to her throne inside Arrowhead Stadium to support husband Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.  Swift, 36, was seen sitting in between her parents, Scott and Andrea, in her usual suite perch, watching as Kelce, 36, and the Chiefs battled the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football.  After Kelce scored a touchdown in the game's 1st quarter, his first of the season, Swift could be seen pointing to her wedding ring and saying, "That's my husband!" Swift attended the Chiefs’ season-opening win against 31-10 win against the Denver Broncos on Monday, September 14, taking in the game alongside Tom Cruise. “She was schooling me on football. She was bringing the football [knowledge],” Cruise said of the experience during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday, September 17. Cruise explained, “Oh, she knows her stuff. She’s like, ‘This is like…’ I was like, ‘OK!’ She knew nothing about football when she met Travis. It was like her [saying], ‘What was it like playing against your brother, tackling each other?’ She said, ‘You know, he’s so patient.’ I said, ‘I’m sure he was!’ … She knows [football]. She’s just bringing it. She knows.” https://twitter.com/NFL/status/2101840429553529311 Cruise called Swift “a genius” and further gushed about watching the game together.  “I’ve been following her since she was a kid,” the Top Gun actor said. “Everybody there, all their friends… they’re a beautiful couple and magical in their own right. I haven’t been to a football game since pre-COVID … so to get to hang out there and have that moment, it was a lot.” Swift also took in the Broncos game alongside her parents, Scott and Andrea, her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, and her brother-in-law, Jason Kelce. The pop star and Travis got married on July 3 at a ceremony packed to the brim with A-listers at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.  Prior to the season-opener against the Broncos, Travis reflected on the big night during an interview with ESPN’s Chris Berman.  “It was the best night of my life,” Travis said. “Marrying Taylor, it was more than I could have ever dreamed it to be because of all the people that showed up and the amount of love that was in the air.” The Chiefs hit the road for their next game, traveling to Miami to play the Dolphins on Sunday, September 27.

Why AOC's Next Move Could Shake Up Washington New

Why AOC's Next Move Could Shake Up Washington

0uWt2BzlWASHINGTON — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has admitted to The Post that she’s playing the waiting game, seeing how lefties fare in the midterms before deciding on a possible US Senate or White House run.“I will be making any of those considerations after the midterms,” she said last week.The far-left pol — who is backed by such extremists as controversial streamer Hasan Piker — added she’d be out helping House and Senate candidates in the midterm elections. “I think we’ll learn a lot in November,” she said.Lefty New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is playing the waiting game when it comes to her plans for 2028. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectNovember will see a plethora of progressives on the ballot, including Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate race, Angie Nixon in Florida’s Senate match-up, and House candidates such as Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY) and Melat Kiros (Colo.), who defeated incumbent Democrats in their primaries. But regardless of the outcome of those races, more and more Democrats are starting to see the radical four-term congresswoman from New York as a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.They cite a combination of factors, including her strong name recognition, her fundraising prowess and a growing sentiment in the country for a candidate who will be a fighter to take on the system on behalf of the people. A top Dem even compared her to former President Barack Obama.“She’s one of the best communicators that I’ve come across in politics,” the party official told The Post. “Obama has the same ability to take esoteric philosophical ideas, to break them down and connect to regular people. She has that skill.”Anti-establishment anger is raging through the country, which many strategists see as a similar situation to the 2016 election, when voters elected the ultimate political outsider, Donald Trump.But their anger has a different target this year. Instead of being directed at the “system” as in 2016, it’s more focused on billionaires, Big Tech and corporate America in general.AOC and fellow far-lefty and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (right) rally with polarizing Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit. REUTERSA candidate who feeds into that rage could win, experts say.Ocasio-Cortez, along with left-wing US Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, began courting the country’s malcontents with their Fighting Oligarchy platform in March 2025. They drew massive numbers to their rallies, including in red and swing districts such Las Vegas; Tempe, Ariz.; Nampa, Idaho; Folsom, Calif., and Los Angeles County. Changes in the Democratic Party’s primary-race calendar for the next presidential election could boost Ocasio-Cortez’s chances. Instead of the heavily white state of New Hampshire kicking off primaries for the party, South Carolina will be first, followed by New Hampshire and then Nevada. South Carolina and Nevada have strong potentially telling pockets of black and latino voters, as well as labor union members.Voters seem to be paying a lot of attention to AOC. A Bowling Green State University/YouGov poll out last week showed her gaining momentum in the 2028 race, tied with California Gov. Gavin Newsom in third place behind former VP Kamala Harris and ex-Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.In a sign of AOC’s growing influence, Republicans are starting to use her as a boogeyman.

Anna Moneymaker/POOL Getty Images North America via APOcasio-Cortez will be on the campaign trail over the next few months, giving her a chance to hone her message and increase her name recognition even more. But as she plays her card close to her chest about her future plans, activists and donors are prepared to support her in whatever she chooses — whether that’s with a White House or primary bid against Sen. Chuck Schumer for New York’s Senate seat, experts said.AOC and her camp will give time and money to Democrats across New York ahead of the November election, building up her support in the Empire State as a way to keep the Senate an option.Piker — who has taken heat for saying such things as the US is worse than al-Qaeda when it comes to terrorism — said he’s spoken with Ocasio-Cortez and would campaign for her.“Oh, absolutely, yes,” he told Axios when asked if he’d be on the trail if she asks.LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a big Democratic donor, is considering supporting her in 2028, he told a Politico conference. “It depends a little bit,” he said. “I think she is much more pragmatic than people give her credit for.”

Debbie Gibson's Emotional Reach Out to Carrot Top Before Hospitalization

Debbie Gibson is sending her support to friend Carrot Top after the comedian was hospitalized following an alleged suicide attempt. “Sometimes it’s the ones who make us laugh the hardest who are hurting the most. Sending love to you, Scott ��@carrottoplive,” Gibson, 56, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, September 20, citing the comedian’s real name. “Scott Thompson a.k.a. Carrot Top is one of those people who will send you a video message at some random time just to let you know he’s thinking of you and to put a smile on your face.” She continued, “I hadn’t heard from him in a little longer than usual, so [I] reached out literally two days ago. I figured he’d reply this week as he often does post-show weekend, so I didn’t think anything of it when I didn’t hear back right away.” Carrot Top, 61, was hospitalized in Las Vegas on Friday, September 18. As a result, his Friday and Saturday comedy shows were subsequently canceled. (Carrot Top has headlined a residency at Las Vegas’ Luxor Casino since 2005.) “Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs,” his rep, Jami Schlicher, said in a statement shared with multiple outlets, confirming the comedy star’s hospital stay. “His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy.” While further details have not been publicly shared, Carrot Top’s celebrity friends like Gibson have vocalized their support. “Check on your friends, especially the ones who give and give and give as Scott does to his loved ones and his audiences,” the singer added on Saturday. “We are all here for you friend, and to anyone going through mental health issues … please know that I myself have a therapist on speed dial.” In her upload, Gibson also advocated for mental health treatment. “I’ve used all kinds of modalities including medications when necessary. I continue to explore whatever is going to best help me stay safe and happy and healthy on all levels,” she noted. “Life is full of layers that nobody sees. There is no stigma in prioritizing your mental and emotional well being at all times!!!” Gibson concluded, “This is a safe space and a loving community for all of you going through whatever you’re going through.” If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
