About Presley Gerber

Born in Beverly Hills, California, in 1999, Presley was also a model. He was charged with a DUI in December 2019, and in 2020, he got a tattoo on his face that read, “MISUNDERSTOOD.” A year later, he was spotted without it and had seemingly removed it.

“Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do,” he said on the Studio 22 podcast.

“Mental health is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it. That’s really what I want to do: help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean it could be anything, and there’s no judgment.”

He added, “I’ve seen a lot of stuff and I’ve learned a lot of things. What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes that I made.”

In an Instagram video posted in December 2025, Presley had opened up about the several depressant medications he was on, including Buprenorphine, Xanax and Valium, to treat his “panic attacks.”

“Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of loss in many different forms recently, so that is not an excuse, but it’s the reason why I am where I’m at now,” he said. He had added that he wanted to reach out to as many people as he could via his video.

Presley is survived by his sister and parents.
