You can be so proud Molly. And no, Gallop didn't steal the show...although he looked so cute while chilling on the floor. Btw. I love your channel Molly, watching your videos makes me happy. Keep on doing the things you do, you are an amazing young and confident woman. Lots of love

@lifegoeson9695 5 лет назад

@LIZZyNIqUZZ10 5 лет назад

Low lifes

@gabriellerussell8484 5 лет назад

A guess: They were probably so ill-equipped to handle this uncomfortable situation, that they decided being mean was better than being helpless. I’m guessing they were so out of their depth and overwhelmed by her disability and resulting depression, that they just defaulted to behaviors that would definitively end any chance they would ever have to see her again. It’s not an excuse for such disgusting and inhuman behavior, but it’s all I can think of to even begin explaining why that happened. It’s the motive I would write if I wanted to put a bully in a story anyway.

@aileendemong1410 5 лет назад

14 year old girls are horrible. When they are faced with something that they don’t understand or that is different from what they are used to, instead of educating themselves, they tend to ostracize it. Not all girls but a lot of them do. It’s horrible but it’s true.

@iqra2956 5 лет назад

She said they did that because they though she was faking being blind for attention

@emilypickhardt8309 5 лет назад

Dating? Really Megyn, that’s the best question you could come up with? How about you ask Molly about how she’s working with Samsung to develop and test their accessibility features? You get 10 minutes to talk to a such an inspirational and strong woman and you want to know if she’s dating anyone? How disappointing.

@sgt.guardsman2221 5 лет назад

Maybe Megan didn't know about the Samsung deal. I didn't hear about it in the interview. Did they talk about it? Just saying....

@donrainesoh 5 лет назад

Emily Pickhardt while I agree they could have asked better questions I also can understand the dating. There are so many ppl out there with a disability that don’t feel like they can find a loved one. That question and her answer could make a person watching say yeah, I can put myself out there and date.

@roseelley4470 5 лет назад

Good point about dating and it's true. It is hard enough to meet someone when you have everything going for you. Add disabilities or other issues into the equation and it is easy to feel like you can not find a loved one (worth keeping).

@Bob31733 5 лет назад

Um, Molly is the one that brought up dating.

@b-radg916 5 лет назад

It was a wide ranging interview, and the dating question was a light-hearted way to end. And, yes, Molly mentioned dating before Megyn did.

I’m blind as well. But not as a child. It happened at 55. I’m 62 now. It is a new world. I’m learning to do makeup looks again, thought I couldn’t do it. I’m mourning not driving and being independent where I could go wherever I want to. My blindness is not like Molly’s from RP. CONGRATS TO MOLLY for being an inspiration

@blondie4lyfe245 5 лет назад

Toni Stark how do you type this

@ashleysmith6187 5 лет назад

The same way people who can see can type without looking at the keyboard, memorizing the keys and maintaining the proper hand placements. Also, most computers and phones come with voice navigation tools. Molly has an entire video on how she and other people who are blind navigate technology.

@tonistark4169 5 лет назад

Vanilla Gurl I have help...plus I enlarge the font REALLY HUGE, but it’s not huge coming to you. I learned to type mostly by memory as well. I have a typewriter for the blind also. Great auto correct and speech to type.

@tonistark4169 5 лет назад

Amanda B. Thank you for asking. No I don’t. I became blind at 25 in my left eye by failed detached retina x 2. Then at age 55, I had a viral stroke of the right retina followed by this year PION (posterior ischemic optic neuralgia). That’s basically when the optic nerve doesn’t get enough blood flow and things go completely black. This could also happen to my left eye in time but I only see shapes with my left eye now. I hope that answers your question. 😊

Ebony Winters thank you! I think you answered better than I did. Lol

@JuMixBoox 5 лет назад

Also, mention some of the other cool things she's done before and during her RU-vid career. She spoke to audiences of thousands, at WE day and at the UN, won an all-Canadian beauty pageant a few years after going blind, published an EP, spoke to head developers and CEOs about accessible technology and, overall helped hundreds of thousands of high school students and others through her public speaking career. There's so much to Molly, her huge success on RU-vid is just one part of it.

@kaitlyncipko2864 5 лет назад

JuMixBoox I know she’s absolutely incredible. Definitely a positive role model unlike some others. She’s smart, driven, hardworking and has such a great outlook on life. Very inspiring!

@JuMixBoox 5 лет назад

I'm glad Molly is so comfortable talking about these topics, otherwise these questions could have been really intrusive.

@addigreen2728 5 лет назад

I hate that the thing you really mentioned about her videos is hair, makeup, and etc. Actually she does a lot more than just hair, makeup, and etc. She talks about her blindness, does collaborations with huge brands like Samsung, posts about her guide dog.

@katiehefner7162 5 лет назад

Molly loved that tho. She also wants to be seen for her traveling and fashion and makeup interests instead of SOLELY just being “the blind girl”.

@Secretzstolen 4 года назад

@@katiehefner7162 yea Molly is obsessed with fashion and makeup and loves that attention so although it might seem like they went superficial I think they did a good job of asking a variety of questions and also focusing on the things Molly loves. Would have been good to ask her what's in store for her future though.

I think she can still see light and shadow, judging from her eye direction. I like her guide dog, he's huge.

@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer 5 лет назад

You're exactly right, she does have light and shadow perception. Her guide dog is part Bernese Mountain Dog, which is why he's so much larger than a typical Lab.

@harveyabel1354 5 лет назад

Plus he has to be huge to hold all that love he has.
