AceShowbiz - Ella Emhoff, the 25-year-old model and stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been the target of disturbing false rumors. Following Harris' loss in the election, Ella was seen showing a moment of vulnerability at the Vice President's concession speech, leading to rampant speculation that she had a "mental breakdown" and had been hospitalized.

To clear the air, Ella took to her Instagram Story on Saturday, November 9. "Ok I'm just gonna go out and say it. There's a rumor about me having a mental breakdown and getting checked into a hospital," she shared.

In a clear and firm rebuttal, she continued, "Not true. Also f**k you if you're out there spreading that. There's nothing wrong with showing emotion and crying. Anyone who says there is probably needs a good cry."

The support from Ella's mother, Kerstin Emhoff, blamed Donald Trump's supporters for the rumors. On social media platform X, Kerstin tweeted, "More MAGA bs against my family. Leave my kids alone!!!"

"Ella is doing great and spending a lovely day with her mom! Having the ability to show your emotions is something we should all hope for. It's ok to not feel great right now. We aren't letting anyone break our family down."

By addressing the rumors head-on, Ella not only denied the baseless claims but also made a powerful statement on the negative stigma surrounding emotions and mental health. "I've struggled with my mental health my whole life, and I'm not ashamed of it. I've literally just been here playing fetch with Jerry," she said, referring to her beloved dog.

This strong stance by Ella Emhoff serves as an essential reminder to all, particularly young people, that showing emotion and being open about mental health struggles is not a sign of weakness. Instead, it is a natural part of being human. Emotions are not something to be feared or shamed but embraced as part of life's experience.
