Summary
- Emily Maynard Johnson, Bachelorette alum, posted daughter's photo on National Daughters Day
- Received threats to report account for "inappropriate content"
- Daughter Ricki, 20, told her to delete the photo and threatened to report her account
In September 2025, Bachelorette alum Emily Maynard Johnson found herself in a difficult situation after posting a photo of her daughters on National Daughters Day. Maynard Johnson, who has six children with her husband Tyler, shared the photo on her Instagram Stories, but it was quickly taken down.
The 39-year-old reality star explained that she had been "blackmailed with an unfortunate selfie" and "threatened that [her] account would be reported for inappropriate content." Maynard Johnson's daughter Ricki, 20, had apparently messaged her, telling her to delete the photo and threatening to report her account.
Maynard Johnson joked that she has "a whole year to get an approved picture" for next year's National Daughters Day. She also shared screenshots of the text messages from Ricki, showing her daughter's demand to "pick a selfie" instead of the photo of the siblings.
Despite the unexpected drama, Maynard Johnson remains focused on her family. Earlier this year, her daughter Ricki announced that she is expecting her first child, a daughter, with her partner. The soon-to-be grandmother seems to be taking the news in stride, even joking about her initial reaction to the pregnancy.
