Kaia Gerber Admits to Judging Fellow Nepotism Kids - but Offers Encouragement Too

Stepping into the spotlight with a famous surname, Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber, has come clean about her personal evaluation process when it comes to fellow 'nepo babies' - those who have inherited their fame. In an exclusive interview with Vogue, Kaia candidly discussed her experiences navigating the industry and her unique perspective on nepotism in Hollywood. "As a nepo baby myself, I've had plenty of opportunities come my way," Kaia admitted. "But that doesn't mean I don't scrutinize others who find themselves in similar situations. I believe every up-and-coming star should earn their place - and I make it a point to judge fellow nepo babies by the same standards." Kaia recently encountered this phenomenon on the set of "The Shards," Ryan Murphy's highly anticipated new series based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel, where she worked alongside Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere. While Homer is a fresh face in the industry, having landed his first major role in the final season of "Euphoria," Kaia shared that he is still grappling with the weight of nepotism. "I let Homer know that people will inevitably judge him based on who his father is," Kaia said. "But I also encouraged him to use that as fuel, to pour all of himself into each performance and prove to the world why he belongs here." As for her own struggles, Kaia opened up about a lifetime of disordered eating, sharing that she has learned the importance of positive reinforcement during challenging times. "Negativity has never saved someone's life," she emphasized. In true Kaia Gerber fashion, the model-actress offers both tough love and encouragement to those navigating their way in Hollywood - a reminder that while nepotism may grant an initial foothold, it takes hard work, determination, and resilience to make a lasting impact.
