Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, complained to her TikTok followers that she was struggling with “climate anxiety” — after showcasing a plastic bag or two online the day before.

The 26-year-old model and designer posted a six-minute video Friday lamenting the “weight” of environmental concerns, but shared an Instagram clip on Thursday where she held a plastic bag on her bed at home, as well as outside a Pasadena thrift store.

The juxtaposition drew some criticism online, with one follower accusing Emhoff of hypocrisy — a charge complicated further by Harris’ own past calls to ban single-use plastics.

In Friday’s TikTok, Emhoff, who goes by the name of @smellaemhoff said: “I think everything with the environment is really f—ing getting to me, and it is — I experience a lot of climate anxiety, like all of us do.”

Harris is stepmother to Doug Emhoff’s two kids, Ella and Cole, 30, who he shares with lawyer Kerstin Emhoff.

Harris and Doug Emhoff met in 2013 on a blind date and married the following year. At the time, Ella was 15. She has since garnered attention for her political activism and reactions.

Earlier this year, she complained about experiencing “a little trauma” on her way to vote for socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary — held at the same polling place where she once cast a ballot for Harris, who lost the election in November 2024.

Ella Emhoff did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
