Ella Emhoff Addresses Mental Health Rumors Following Trump’s Election Victory

Ella Emhoff is taking a stand against the swirling rumors regarding her emotional state after Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election. In an age where online speculation often runs rampant, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris found herself at the center of unfounded chatter about her having a mental breakdown that allegedly required hospitalization.

In an effort to quell the gossip, Ella took to her Instagram Stories to clarify the situation. She candidly stated, “There’s a rumor about me having a mental breakdown and getting checked into a hospital,” adding emphatically that it is “Not true.” Her message wasn’t just a simple denial—she also expressed frustration toward those perpetuating the rumor, affirming, “Also, fuck you if you’re out there spreading that.”

Recognizing the importance of emotional expression, she remarked, “There’s nothing wrong with showing emotion and crying… Anyone who says there is probably needs a good cry.” Ella has long been open about her struggles with mental health, stating, “I’ve struggled with my mental health my whole life and I’m not ashamed of it.” She reassured her followers by mentioning her current activities, which include enjoying quality time with her dog, Jerry.

Adding to the discussion, Ella’s mother, Kerstin Emhoff, also chimed in on social media, pushing back against those spreading the misinformation. She referred to the rumors as “More MAGA bs” and urged people to “Leave my kids alone.” Kerstin emphasized that Ella is doing well, enjoying a day with her and highlighted the value of being able to express one’s emotions.

In these challenging times, she affirmed that “It’s ok to not feel great right now,” reinforcing the importance of family resilience amidst external pressures.
