Amid his grief over the death of his 19-year-old daughter Emman, TV host Kim Atienza did not let pass a comment of a netizen who blamed him for her passing, calling the commenter an “evangelical bully.”
Atienza and his wife, Taiwanese educator and socialite Felicia Hung continued to mourn Emman’s death, as they expressed gratitude to God for the years that they spent with the teen influencer, who died at their Los Angeles home before the weekend. The Atienza couple announced Emman’s death on Friday.
Her death was widely reported in the US media, at the same time putting to light mental health awareness, compassion and kindness especially on social media.

On Sunday, Atienza again took to social media to share a clip of his youngest child recording a song.
“‘The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.’ Thank you for the 19 years of my dearest little Emmansky Lord,” he captioned his post on TikTok.

In the comments, a certain @joy said Atienza should not have said that God took Emman’s life because it was them who “fell short as parents.” This prompted the “Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!” host to call out the commenter for being an evangelical bully, saying his daughter was clinically depressed.
Meanwhile, Felicia shared photos from Emman’s past photo shoot to honor her memory.
“Bravest hearts build others — not break them. #choosekindness,” she wrote.
The couple received condoling messages from their followers and celebrity friends in the comments, including Iza Calzado, Geneva Cruz, Alex Gonzaga, Karla Estrada, Liz Uy, Vina Morales, Jugs Jugueta, Ruffa Gutierrez, Karen Davila, Isabelle Daza, Zeinab Harake, Rabiya Mateo, Kitchie Nadal, Iya Villania, Sunshine Cruz, Gary Valenciano, Lara Quigaman, Ashley Sarmiento, Alessandra De Rossi, and Coney Reyes.
