Exclusive | ‘Sheltered’ Ella Emhoff was ‘set up for positive calls’ by Kamala Harris’ failed campaign

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff was so “sheltered” by her stepmom’s failed presidential campaign that when she volunteered, staffers pre-screened her cold calls to make sure no one said anything mean to her.

“They set me up for positive calls because they didn’t want someone to know they were talking to me and then say some absolutely heinous stuff,” Emhoff, 25, dished during an episode of the “Girls Rewatch” podcast.

The lefty activist daughter of former second gentleman Doug Emhoff admitted cold-calling was “intimidating,” and lamented that other Harris volunteers would be asked questions such as, “Who’s the man behind this?”

Emhoff sparked outrage last year when she publicly raised cash for the anti-Israel United Nations Relief and Works Agency — even as the US cut the group’s funding over members’ alleged participation in the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack in Israel.

The sometimes-model and fashion designer also whined that she wasn’t able to frolic willy-nilly while her stepmother was vice president.

“I feel like I’ve been robbed of some ‘Broad City’ moments just because, for the past four years, I’ve lived such a sheltered life, and I haven’t been able to just meander,” Emhoff said, referring to the Comedy Central series about 20-somethings living in Gotham.

But Emhoff said she’s making up for lost time.

“I’ve started biking again, and I’ve already gotten into a mild collision,” Emhoff said.

“I’m like, ‘Wait, I think I really messed up my hand, like, I can’t feel my pinky and it hurts to bend and I think I’m actually really injured,’” Emhoff recalled about the crash with a moving car in south Williamsburg.

Emhoff brushed off the July incident in which “anti-police watcher” Harry Heymann confronted her Secret Service detail and ripped the license plate covers off both the black SUVs parked outside the diner where Emhoff was inside eating with her boyfriend.

The heated altercation ended with Emhoff’s security rushing her out of the restaurant, and cops arresting Heymann, who was later charged with obstruction of governmental administration and criminal mischief. 

“It was just classic New York chaos that wouldn’t have mattered at all, and it would have just been a New York minute, if it hadn’t been this guy getting angry at a Secret Service vehicle,” she said.

With her stepmom as veep, Emhoff, who has lived in Bushwick for four years, graduated from the Parsons School of Design, launched her own knitwear and textiles lines, signed with modeling agency IMG Models and attended the Met Gala.

And when she wasn’t sitting front-row at shows during New York Fashion Week, Emhoff was strutting the runway for Coach, Tory Burch and Sandy Liang, and attending parties hosted by Stella McCartney and Jimmy Choo.
