Emma drew widespread criticism and was fired by makeup company MCoBeauty in April last year when she admitted to two historic incidents of animal cruelty.
Just a few months later, in June, Emma announced she was quitting social media after a series of vicious attacks from haters, which left her feeling insecure and suicidal.
She revealed she had been sent “death threats” amid the controversy and claimed she was attacked by online trolls in a “witch hunt”.
“As most of you know, I gave birth on 4/12/23 to the most wonderful, precious boy and he completely changed my life,” she began her lengthy post.
However, Emma, who now only has a private Instagram account, dashed fans’ hopes by revealing that she will “never” be in the spotlight again.
‘I was so excited to share my life with all of you, share where things were from, and be honest about my postpartum journey and my experiences with my baby.
‘But unfortunately all that was not possible when I shared a story from when I was a child on my podcast. They quickly canceled me and the death threats started coming.
‘The story was blown out of proportion and became something it never was. People started a witch hunt against me and were doing everything they could to make sure my life was ruined.
‘I lost my job, my mental health was hugely affected and people were just laughing about it.
“I realized it was taking me away from my son and making me not be present with him, so I took a little break.”
Emma told how she now enjoys living her life privately with her husband Aaron Mugica and son Jett-Jones.
Emma accused haters of spreading hate and rumors about her life and said she reached a “breaking point” amid the trolling and began to feel “insecure.”
She continued: I suddenly started feeling unsafe in my own bubble, I started feeling unsafe in my own home, my anxiety was through the roof when I went out in public, I felt constantly violated, the death threats became stronger and the lies and the rumors also grew stronger.’
“People were doing everything they could to ruin my life. Sending nasty messages to my friends, messaging brands and companies that followed me with threats and much more. People dehumanized me daily and laughed at my struggles,” he added.
‘My mental health finally fell apart. I entered a very dark space that was extremely scary and unknown.
“I kept telling myself that the only thing that would make all of this go away is if I took my own life.”

Quitting social media with a lengthy statement in June 2023, Emma revealed that she had been sent “death threats” and claimed she was targeted by online trolls in a “witch hunt.”
The influencer concluded by telling her followers that “the online space can be horrible, fake and harmful, whether you have followers or not, so it’s okay, strong and powerful to walk away when necessary.”
Emma was fired from makeup company MCoBeauty in April 2023 after admitting to two historic incidents of animal cruelty on an episode of her podcast Simply Chaotic.
Three more brands then cut ties with Emma, including vegan makeup company Lust Minerals, which promotes that it does not test its products on animals.
The controversy began when Emma shared a story about how she accidentally killed two cats as a child when her co-host Kristy Jean asked her to tell her a personal secret.
“I killed my cat,” Emma admitted on her podcast at the time. ‘I didn’t mean to…he was young, he was a child.

“I was swinging my cat. I was thinking it was just a stuffed toy. And I accidentally dropped it.
Emma clarified that the animal died “from fright,” rather than from the injuries caused by being thrown across the room.
After sharing a laugh with her co-host, she added, “I just want to say that I laugh about it now, but this happened years and years and years ago.” And I was like I was a fucking little kid.
Emma went on to detail how she “also killed her best friend’s cat” by accident.
