That’s how they did the exorcism,” she said.Gerber told the interviewer that she had never publicly shared the story before, “but that actually did happen.”As well as TV work on “The Shards” and “American Horror Story,” Gerber has had film roles in the 2023 comedy “Bottoms” and the 2024 “SNL” dramatization, “Saturday Night.” ShareAdd to GoogleSophie ZiedalskiSophie Ziedalski is a general assignment intern for NBC News.
