The death of Emman Atienza has got celebrities speaking up about mental health.
EMMAN ATIENZA DEATH – The Filipino social media star’s death has brought some celebrities weighing in on bashing and mental health.
Life’s hard enough for everyone, and the least one can do for oneself and others is to be gentler and kinder in words and in action. Filipino social media star Emmanuelle ‘Emman’ Atienza died, and according to reports, she self-deleted.
She was found lifeless inside her residence, and the cause of Emman’s death was “ligature hanging.”
In a previous article, Emman’s last posts online tackled how the negative and hurtful comments online took a toll on her mental health. She began the year with a renewed outlook and a reason to keep going, but just months before the new year, she ultimately took matters into her own hands.
Her death has made a lot of people realize the weight of one’s words to someone, especially to people being subjected to public scrutiny.
Several celebrities spoke out about bashing, bullying, and mental health following news of her death. Many reflected on how harsh criticisms can deeply impact a person’s life — and even their will to live.
Actress Kim Chiu reflected and stressed the significance of kindness to everyone who has been fighting battles silently and masking their struggles with strength.
Gabbi Garcia, on the other hand, highlighted how it is never okay to be someone’s reason to make irreversible decisions. She stated that it is time now to break this cycle. With the power words hold, it is a must to use them to uplift others and not destroy them.
Jane De Leon wrote, “Every time someone d*es because of hate, we post “mental health matters.” Then after a week, balik ulit sa bashing, chismis, and tearing people down. How many more people do we need to lose before we actually change?”
For Kyline Alcantara, bullying, mockery, and cruelty leave invisible scars — a reminder of why kindness matters. She urged everyone to choose empathy over judgment and gentleness over hate, emphasizing that words should be used to heal, not to harm.
“Hey guys. Extra hugs to everyone out there who’s struggling mentally. I’m really praying you find that helping hand, the light at the end of the tunnel, and the faith to keep going no matter how hard things get,” Maris Racal said.
