Deleted Video Sparked Backlash

The uproar began after a December 2025 clip—now deleted—where Emhoff discussed a podcast about perceived SSRI over-prescription and noted that stopping the drugs can leave some people struggling. Conservative outlets amplified her remarks, with some suggesting she was echoing critics of antidepressants.

Context and Controversy

Emhoff has been open about her mental health, saying she’s taken SSRIs for roughly a decade and has no plans to quit. The renewed attention also tied into recent critiques from RFK Jr. about antidepressants, remarks many medical experts have rejected. RadarOnline published the report May 20, 2026.
