Presley Gerber has words for his haters!
The 20-year-old, who recently cleared all but two images from his Instagram feed, took to his IG Story on Wednesday night to address the ongoing backlash he has received since getting a face tattoo.

On a black background with white text, he penned:
“Most and a lot of people can get a face lifts, change genders, lip injections, etc and it’s offensive to say anything in today’s day in age but I get a little face tattoo and now people love to hate me..Hmmmm?”
The real question here is why he thinks ink on his face is in any comparison to a person who wants to “change genders”! Seems he might have a possible answer to his own question…
As you may recall though, shortly after debuting his “misunderstood” ink, Presley went on Insta Live to explain his decision:
“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.”
Most recently, an Us Weekly insider shared that there is a LOT going on behind the scenes that we don’t necessarily see from the outside:
“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.”
Apparently, it has something to do with familial jealousy. As you’re likely aware, his mom Cindy Crawford is a legendary model, his sister Kaia Gerber is following in her footsteps, and his dad Rande Gerber co-founded Casamigos Tequila with George Clooney. The confidant continued:
“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.”
We just hope he’s able to get the help it’s been rumored that his parents are “pushing” for him to receive when the time comes.
