Presley Gerber Is ‘Trying To Get Out Of The Shadow Of His Family’ During ‘Rebellious Phase’ – Perez Hilton

March 1, 2020 Off By WhoThatCelebsRS

All eyes have been on Presley Gerber as of late.

As you’re likely aware, Cindy Crawford‘s son recently debuted a confusing face tattoo: the word ‘misunderstood’ on his upper cheekbone. Since then, he’s shared an “innocent” video

According to an US insider, there’s a lot going on under the surface we don’t see:

“Presley is obviously going through a super rebellious phase right now. He is trying to get out of the shadow of his family and find his own way and create his own identity. He also likes the attention he’s been getting, even if negative, from his tattoo and recent posts.”

There seems to be a bit of familial jealousy to blame because of how “successful” his sister Kaia Gerber has been in the modeling industry thus far in her career, along with his model momma and entrepreneur father Rande Gerber. The source added:

“Presley feels like there’s a lot of pressure on him because his parents and Kaia are so successful, and Kaia is thought of as a ‘sweetheart’ and Cindy and Rande have such respected reputations in everything they do. He wants to do his own thing and find his own place in the world.”

While on Instagram Live earlier this month, the 20-year-old explained for himself his reasoning behind the shocking face ink:

“If I thought this was going to ruin my face or I didn’t want this, I wouldn’t have done it. I think that’s a pretty obvious thing. If anyone has s**t to say to me about this or anything else and my family or how I grew up or anything, I will give you my address, I promise, and you can come say it to my face.”

As negative comments continued to pour in on the video, he stated:

“Look at these f**ing haters out here. “F**k you if you don’t like it.”

Though it has since been deleted, the model took to his IG account to share an “innocent” clip of him at a shooting range, insinuating in his (below) caption it had been taken prior to his ink:
