Presley Gerber's Struggles With Addiction

Presley, who followed his mother into modeling and signed with IMG Models at just 15, had been open about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.

At 19, he was arrested for DUI after being pulled over for speeding in Beverly Hills, California. He pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge in July 2019 and was sentenced to three years of probation, community service and a DUI program.

The following year, Presley was photographed completing court-ordered requirements at a drug-testing facility connected to his DUI case.

In 2024, Presley revealed that he had battled a severe, multi-year opiate addiction and suffered a near-fatal fentanyl overdose that left him in a coma for several days.
