Ella Emhoff’s Shocking Rumors That Demand Attention

During Kamala Harris’ concession address, Ella Emhoff was seen in tears alongside Doug Emhoff and her brother, Cole. This emotional display led to unflattering images circulating online, sparking false claims that she had been taken to the hospital for a mental health emergency. Ella quickly refuted these rumors, stating, “This is false. And for those spreading this, shame on you. It’s perfectly normal to cry; anyone who thinks otherwise might need to let it out themselves,” she expressed on her Instagram Stories (via New York Post).

Doug’s former spouse, Kerstin Emhoff, also came to her daughter’s support, despite usually staying out of the public eye. “More nonsense from the MAGA crowd targeting my family. Leave my kids alone!” she posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) in response to the allegations. She added proof that Ella had not been anywhere near a psychiatric facility that day, stating, “Ella is doing wonderfully and enjoying a lovely day with her mom! Expressing emotions is a healthy thing that we should all strive for.”

Like her daughter, Kerstin pointed out that the election’s outcome likely stirred strong sentiments in many individuals. “It’s perfectly alright to not feel your best during this time,” she mentioned. Although Ella firmly rejected the rumors, she isn’t afraid to discuss mental health. “I have faced challenges with my mental health throughout my life, and I am not embarrassed by it,” she shared in her Instagram Story.
