Emilie Kiser's brother posts then deletes bizarre video after her son's drowning death
Over the weekend, Kiser's sibling Nick Espinosa posted a video on Instagram of him appearing to allude to the horrific tragedy, stating that 'life will always throw you a curveball.'
Espinosa, who has since made his account private, is the first family member to speak out after little Trigg Kiser tragically died on May 18 - six days after he was found unresponsive in a backyard pool.
The influencer's brother, who often posts reflective clips of himself online, was seen getting into a car just before explaining how quickly life can change.
'One day everything feels aligned. You're making progress, chasing purpose, moving forward, then... just like that everything changes,' he narrated as the screen went black.
The mommy blogger's brother then showed himself sitting with his head in his hands and staring into the distance.
'A call you never saw coming. A goodbye you didn't get to say. Don't wait for the world to remind you how fragile this life is.
'Put the phone down. Go touch grass. Spend time with the people you love. Focus on what truly matters because life doesn't wait,' he said as he got back in the car.
Following the tragic ordeal at the family's pool, a neighbor told DailyMail.com that the influencer's house was swarmed with five police cars.
Emergency responders arrived and performed life-saving efforts until Trigg was airlifted to Phoenix Children's Hospital for specialized care.
Kiser hasn't posted since the tragedy, but her followers have continued to flood her accounts with messages of support and condolences before she turned off her comment sections.
Meanwhile, her husband Brady Kiser, Trigg's father, made his accounts private following his death.
Just weeks after the horrific news spread, Emilie, who has more than four million followers on TikTok and frequently shares her life as a mother, filed a lawsuit against several agencies.
The influencer filed a lawsuit using her maiden name, Henrichsen, last Tuesday against the City of Chandler, Chandler Police Department, Maricopa County, the county's medical examiner's office, and other agencies to permanently block public access to records related to her son's death.
The lawsuit said that Kiser was 'going through a parent's worst nightmare right now' and the family 'desperately wanted to grieve in private.'
'Trigg's death has become a media frenzy. Appallingly, 100+ public record requests have been filed with both the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office,' the lawsuit continued.
'Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle,' the suit said.
Kiser's attorneys argued that the records presumably contain 'graphic, distressing, and intimate details' of the toddler's death.
They continued that public access to the records 'has no bearing on government accountability.'
'To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona's Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency,' the lawsuit added.
The suit said that Kiser or her representation haven't reviewed the police report, security camera footage, scene photos, 911 recording, or autopsy photos.
Kiser's lawyers added that the records weren't available to them, and the influencer doesn't intend to ever view the documents.
In response to the lawsuit, Jason Berry, the director of communications for Maricopa County, which was named as a defendant, told NBC News: 'When Maricopa County learned the family was pursuing a court order to prevent the release of these records, the Office of the Medical Examiner worked with the family to place a seal on the record.'
Just weeks after the horrific news spread, Emilie, who has more than four million followers on TikTok and frequently shares her life as a mother, filed a lawsuit against several agencies in a bid to get public records of Trigg's death permanently blocked
Emilie and Brady first became parents in July 2021 when they welcomed their son Trigg.
Just over two years later, in September 2024, the couple revealed they were expecting their second child.
'WE GOTTA BABY GROWING,' Kiser captioned a sonogram post. 'We can not wait to add another angel to our family. Whatever you are, we love you so much already.'
In March, the Kiser family officially grew by one with the arrival of their second son, Teddy.
Emilie announced the joyful news on Instagram, writing: 'We love you so much and our hearts feel like they are going to burst.'
She also expressed gratitude for the experience, sharing: 'I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband. Could not have done it without my rock @bradykiser. The love I have for my boys is infinite.'

California professor accused of assault after he was ‘kidnapped' during ICE protests at cannabis farm raid
Federal prosecutors have accused a university professor of assaulting law enforcement by throwing a tear gas canister back at officers during protests against immigration raids at a California cannabis farm. Jonathan Anthony Caravello, a math and philosophy lecturer at California State University Channel Islands, was arrested July 10 as heavily armed federal agents fired tear gas into crowds demonstrating against the raids. Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, accused Caravello of 'throwing a tear gas canister at law enforcement' and said his office is preparing to charge him with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers. Carvello's first court appearance is Monday. According to witnesses, a tear gas canister had rolled under the wheelchair of a legal observer who struggled to breathe or move. Caravello had reportedly rushed over to help when he was tackled by agents. Following his arrest, more than 24 hours passed before Caravello's whereabouts were discovered. His educators' union, California Faculty Association, posted a statement saying that he had been 'kidnapped' by four masked agents who did not identify themselves or state where they were taking him as they placed him in an unmarked car. The university said in a statement that it believed Caravello 'was peacefully participating in a protest — an act protected under the First Amendment and a right guaranteed to all Americans.' 'If confirmed, we stand with elected officials and community leaders calling for his immediate release,' the university said. Members of the California Faculty Association held a vigil Sunday in front of a detention center demanding his release. The raids and intense standoff between protesters and federal agents have emerged as the latest flashpoint in Donald Trump's aggressive anti-immigration agenda, which has deployed masked federal law enforcement agents into communities to make mass arrests and swiftly remove thousands of people from the country. Last week, officers arrested more than 300 people during a pair of raids inside cannabis farms in Camarillo, California, roughly 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Agents allegedly discovered 10 undocumented immigrant children working there. The United Farm Workers union said several workers were critically injured during the raids, while other targeted workers, including a U.S. citizen, 'remain totally unaccounted for.' Agents are accused of chasing one worker who fell 30 feet from the top of a building. Jaime Alanis Garcia was hospitalized and placed on life support with a broken neck, broken skull and a severed artery. Garcia was later removed from life support and died from his injuries. 'His wife and parents decided today to let him rest. He has passed away,' his family said in a statement. The raids sparked an intense standoff between protesters and federal officers who arrived on the scene in military-style vehicles. 'We are outraged by these military-style tactics that target immigrants and terrorize communities,' California Faculty Association said in a statement. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security agents are 'tearing families apart and undermining the constitutional rights of everyone — including U.S. citizens — who stand with marginalized communities,' the group said.

Denise Richards' daughter Sami Sheen models bikini... after naming every plastic surgery procedure she's done
Sami Sheen stripped down to a skimpy red bikini in bold new images shared to Instagram over the weekend. The daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen was modeling the bathing suit inside her Los Angeles home. The stylish suit managed to not only show off her stunning and slender figure, but also her array of tattoos. Sami, 21, appears to have over a dozen markings on her body. This comes soon after her mother Denise has faced a personal crisis as her husband Aaron Phypers has filed for divorce and is asking for spousal support. Earlier this year Denise and Aaron appeared to be still very much in love on the former Bond's girl's reality TV show Wild Things. Sami has yet to comment on the demise of her mother's marriage to the handsome wellness expert. A lot of attention has been paid to Sami's morphing figure, which she showcases on the pay site OnlyFans. Earlier this year Sheen posted to TikTok every cosmetic procedure she's had done. The model began: 'Apparently I've pissed off a lot of people by getting a nose job, so I figured I would piss off even more people by telling you guys all the work I've gotten done.' At the top of the list was lip filler, which the Wild Things personality said she started getting at age 18 and touches up 'every year.' The blonde beauty noted that she also over-lines her lips, calling it 'an addiction.' Sheen also made sure to include a beauty injectable she didn't like — Botox. 'I got Botox in my forehead and I hated it,' she confessed, adding, 'I actually got it to lift my eyebrows up like this [gestures] but it did the complete opposite.' She explained to viewers, 'I was one of the rare people... it weighed my whole face down. It looked horrible, so I let it dissolve naturally and I've never gotten it since.' In the snippet, Sami's long, straight, platinum blonde hair was parted down the middle and framed her fully made up face. The reality television star continued, 'After that I discovered nose filler. So I did that in the tip of my nose and the bridge to try to make it more straight and lifted.' Ultimately, she said the filler 'worked a tiny bit, but I just needed a rhinoplasty, so I got that done twice.' 'Next, I finally got the big procedure and I got the girls done,' she said in reference to her breast implants. 'They're finally fully dropped and settled in,' Sami continued while gesturing toward her chest. She admitted, 'I feel like I could've gone bigger and I really wish I went bigger,' before declaring, 'When the time comes to get them redone I'm definitely going bigger.' 'I think I'm gonna go over the muscle so they look a little bit more natural,' the nepo baby shared. The most uncomfortable procedure was getting veneers, which Sami said she got done a year ago. 'That was the worst process ever. Good thing they don't need to be fixed for another 20 years,' she told her audience. 'Let's hope they last that long because I never want to experience that ever again.' 'In August I got my nose done. That's everything,' Sheen shared as a final note. On an episode of Wild Things, in which she stars alongside mom Denise and sister Lola, 19, Sami admitted childhood bullying led her to join OnlyFans so that she could fund her plastic surgery. She documented her rhinoplasty with celebrity surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar on the show, which premiered March 4. 'High school was very hard. I had to deal with kids bullying me. People would say that I looked like my dad,' she said of her famous father. 'I actually got a comment the other day from somebody saying, "You'll never be as pretty as your mom",' she added.

Eerie post made by wife of gunman Guy House before he 'killed her mom and sister in Kentucky church bloodbath'
Just hours before a Kentucky man killed a beloved mother and daughter at a small community church, his wife shared an eerie social media post about 'revenge.' Guy House, 47, burst through the door to the basement of Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington on Sunday, hunting for the mom of his three kids, Angel Summer. But after he was told she was not there, House uttered: 'Well someone is gonna have to die then,' and killed Beverly Gumm, 72, and her daughter, Christina Combs, 32. Just hours before House's deadly rampage, Summer re-posted a cryptic message to Facebook: 'Never seek revenge, rotten fruit will fall on its own!' House had a history of violence - and was scheduled to attend a domestic violence hearing on Monday morning. He also had a long criminal history, and was only released from probation in January, court records show. On Sunday, House was killed by officers after storming through the church and confronting Gumm and her daughter, Star Rutherford - Summer's mother and sister. The women were cooking lunch for congregants, Rutherford recounted to the Lexington Herald-Leader. Gumm, a mother-of-eight, quickly ducked to avoid the first shot, but the second hit her in the chest - killing her at the scene, Rutherford said. House then went outside and shot and killed Rutherford's other sister, Combs. He also injured Gumm's husband, and the longtime pastor of the church, Jerry Gumm, as well as Combs' husband, Randy Combs, before he was shot dead. The two victims were rushed to the University of Kentucky hospital, where they remained in critical condition Sunday night. Randy is now awake, while Jerry remains sedated from surgery, Rutherford wrote on Facebook. She and her siblings now remember their mother as a 'faithful member of the church who loved God.' Dasey 'Patches' Rutherford, another sister, noted that their mother's 'love language' was feeding people - 'homeless people, drug addicts, strangers.' Rachael Barnes, a third sister, also said Combs was a mother-of-five who planned to graduate from nursing school in December. 'They were both fantastic moms,' she said, adding that her mother and sister were doing what they loved - 'serving the Lord' when they died. The family is now raising money for Gumm's funeral and to help Randy and his family. It remains unclear what may have motivated House to target the mother of his children at the small, close-knit church. But just moments before descending on the church, House was driving down Terminal Drive, outside Blue Grass Airport, when he was pulled over by a Kentucky State Trooper who was alerted about House's vehicle from a license plate reader on a nearby traffic camera. House then opened fire on the trooper at around 10.40am. From there, police say the shooter carjacked a vehicle and fled 16 miles to the Baptist church, where he was shot and killed by pursuing cops. The wounded deputy, meanwhile, was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries but was in stable condition Sunday night, the Lexington Fire Department noted. 'It looked routine,' Larissa McLaughlin, who was at the airport dropping off a rental car with her husband, said of House's interaction with the trooper. 'He was outside talking to him through an open window. 'And as we were driving, I heard "pop, pop" and I knew it was gunshots,' she told Lex 18. She said her husband then called 911 while she ran to the airport entrance seeking help. 'I was trying to alert everyone at the airport and I just ran through screaming,' McLaughlin recounted. Witness Gena Roland also described how she was among the first at the scene of the gunman's rampage 'barely escaping a head-on crash from the shooter while he drove out of the airport the wrong way.' 'The trooper was thankfully awake and coherent when the ambulance arrived, albeit in a lot of pain,' she said. 'It was intense. There were many good Samaritans that stopped and ran to the trooper. I think we had five of us down there before the cops and paramedics arrived on scene.' Other locals wrote online that they saw dozens of police and other emergency vehicles rushing to the airport. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced the deaths of the two churchgoers shortly before a 4.30pm press conference identified them. 'Please pray for everyone affected by these senseless acts of violence, and let's give thanks for the swift response by the Lexington Police Department and Kentucky State Police,' he said. Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton also offered her prayers for the victims' families. 'Like so many communities across the country, today our community has experienced a mass shooting, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. A state police trooper has also been injured,' she said in a statement.
