On May 27, Kiser — who has 1.7 million Instagram followers — filed a lawsuit to keep records about Trigg's death out of public view, according to court documents.
In the filing, Kiser's lawyer said that she and her family "desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them," adding that Trigg's death "has become a media frenzy."
The lawsuit said 100 public record requests have been filed with the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office for access to public records related to Trigg Kiser's death.

"The records requested presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg’s death that have no bearing on government accountability," the filing stated, suggesting "allowing disclosure" would be to turn Arizona's Public Records Law into "a weapon of emotional harm."
The court documents continued, "Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle."
