Emilie Kiser Returns to TikTok Four Months After Son Trigg’s Drowning

She calls content creation therapeutic, signaling tighter limits on what she shares about her grief.

Overview

  • Kiser posted a house "reset" video on Sept. 20, telling followers she is taking life and content "day by day" and feels "really nervous" returning.
  • She said she will not pretend things are fine and does not plan to detail every part of her grieving process online.
  • Fellow creators and followers quickly offered supportive messages in comments on her comeback video.
  • Trigg, 3, died in May after being found in the family’s backyard pool; a police report later said he was unsupervised for more than nine minutes and in the water for about seven.
  • Chandler police recommended a child-abuse charge for father Brady Kiser, but Maricopa County prosecutors declined to file in July; Emilie issued an Aug. 28 statement taking accountability and setting stricter privacy boundaries.
