But she made it clear that the rumors about her hospitalization were not true. “Okay, I’m just going to say it,” she shared on her Instagram Story on November 9. “There is a rumor that I am having a nervous breakdown and being admitted to a hospital. Not true. And f–k you if you spread that.

“There is nothing wrong with showing emotions and crying,” she added. “Anyone who says it is probably needs a good cry.”

Ella, who shared the post with a photo of herself and her dog, also emphatically stated that she was not ashamed to admit she had mental health issues. “I have struggled with my mental health my entire life and I am not ashamed of it,” she wrote. “I literally just came here playing fetch with Jerry (her dog).”

Having the ability to show your emotions is something we should all hope for. It’s okay not to feel great right now. We will not allow anyone to destroy their family.”

“We will all get through this,” she shared alongside a photo of herself watching Harris deliver her concession speech. E! News reported. “It just hurts like ab-h right now and that’s okay.”

“The fight doesn’t stop now,” she added. “Please come and see your people right now. Now is the time to organize, mobilize and make a difference in your communities, big or small.”
