Emilie Kiser publicly acknowledged the outpouring of support from fans who have sought updates on her husband, Brady Kiser, amidst a devastating family crisis.
In a TikTok video posted on September 23, the influencer expressed her appreciation for fans’ concern regarding Brady’s mental state. One supportive user commented, “I hope Brady is doing okay,” to which Emilie responded with a heart emoji, a small yet telling sign of her emotional presence.
Another heartwarming message from a fan read, “Hope Brady is okay sending love his way too!!” eliciting yet another heart from Emilie. These interactions underscore the very human need for compassion, especially during turbulent times.
The backdrop to this concern is harrowing: on May 12, while at home in Arizona, Brady was watching the couple’s sons—three-year-old Trigg and his younger brother, Teddy—when Trigg tragically fell into the family’s pool. He was later discovered unconscious and, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries several days after. Following the incident, investigators recommended that Brady face a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse, a descriptor that now clings to their family’s narrative like an unwanted shadow.
The Chandler, Arizona Police Department’s recommendation to charge Brady was dismissed by the Attorney’s Office, with officials issuing a statement confirming their decision on July 25.
Emilie’s return to social media provided a glimpse into her life just a few days after the announcement regarding her son’s tragic fate. In this TikTok upload, she was captured exiting the nursery of her six-month-old son, Teddy, before diving headlong into household tasks, including tackling the laundry.
“I would rather fold than put everything away,” Emilie remarked, appearing in a simple white shirt and a chic plaid skirt, illustrating that even in the chaos of grief, mundane tasks await no one. “But now I have to put everything away.” She then tackled the daunting task of organizing a closet filled with linen and towels before shifting her focus to closing curtains and blinds in her living area, ending the segment with her nightly beauty routine. “Hope you all had a great weekend,” she captioned the video, which also featured a moment of her cross-stitching and a tip about the health benefits of cherry juice for her audience.
In her Sunday, September 20 TikTok, which marked Emilie’s first return to social media since May, she reflected on her emotional state during this difficult period.
“I have been offline for the last little bit. I’m just doing my best every day to figure this out, figure my life out. I’m just taking it day by day,” she disclosed in the video. “I’m not going to pretend everything is fine and dandy, and I don’t want it to appear that way as I resume content creation. This is really therapeutic for me.”
Emilie continued, “I miss connecting with you all, but I don’t know what that will entail moving forward. I’m unsure how much I’m comfortable sharing, especially considering my grief journey.”
