I just read some of the comments about Molly on lolcow and I don't think she is as innocent or as authentic as she presents herself. Which is a shame, because I had really enjoyed her book videos and I had a good impression of her. In fact, I think she might be just as fake as Ruby or worse.

TW: ED Behaviours

I didn't know about her before she started hanging out with Ruby, so I didn't actually watch any of her recovery videos but they are described with a lot of detail on lolcow and they had many screenshots of her posts. Someone had found some pictures of her from a theater group from the start of the year where she developed anorexia and it looks like she went from healthy to anorexic and back to healthy again in the span of a few months (by healthy I mean both weight restored and mentally. Of course there is no real way to know whether she was actually mentally recovered but when she posted on instagram she spoke of her ED in the past tense like she was already over it).

I refuse to believe she had an actual eating disorder, because no one recovers that quickly. If she had claimed to have bulimia, or binge eating, or any other eating disorder that was not restrictive anorexia it would have been much more believable. Now, I know you can't tell if someone has an ED based on their weight (in fact, most people I met in treatment looked completely normal, because they didn't have anorexia), but the combination of having recovered extremely fast, never really looking underweight and posting videos where she ate normal portions of all kinds of foods with no issue makes me think she was faking it for views or at least exaggerating.

From what I read she also had stuff on her instagram bio like "I know I look 12 haha" and she always referred to herself as a child, so in that sense she's just as childish and weird as Ruby.

Gatekeeping EDs is a pretty lolcow thing to do 🙃

Yeah lolcow’s ed thread is so toxic and totally invalidates people’s personal experiences. They’ll argue that someone isn’t anorexic when they are clearly underweight. There is no argument that Molly lost so much weight in a short amount of time. Plus she had negative and restrictive thoughts revolving about food. She’s completely valid to state that she had an ed.

‘There is no way to know whether she was actually mentally recovered’, well yeah? An ED is a mental illness, it’s not always visible on the outside. Idk what ‘lolcow’ is, but they sound like they don’t really understand how eating disorders or mental health issues work tbh.

Pure speculation but with the timing of this thread being made I wouldn’t be surprised if Molly deleted all her videos because of it. She went offline/deleted everything the first time when she found the lolcow threads so wouldn’t be surprised if it was a similar story here. This isn’t a criticism of this page. It’s definitely nowhere near as bad as the lolcow thread but If molly isn’t able to handle reading it/knowing it exists it was a wise choice to take a step back

May be a bit intruding of me but does anyone else think she may of relapsed with her ED?

I’d rather not speculate too much tbh. If she has, good for her for dealing with it offline! If she hasn’t (and I rather think she hasn’t, since she’s apparently been able to keep up with Oxford), then good for her, period.

It must be something more than Tattle imo. This site is nothing compared to the other one discussing her before.

Without speculating, I hope she's doing ok

Yeah, I hope she's doing well. With it coming directly after the Christmas break I'd guess it might be her just wanting to focus on uni and get the final year done and dusted and she might return after graduation with a clean social media slate.

She’s redoing her first year currently.

It could just be that Molly doesn't want to be on social media any more, for a variety of reasons. It's becoming more and more of a dystopian hellscape and plenty of other people are stepping back or putting their accounts on private. Maybe she was uncomfortable with having a lot of followers and people speculating on the state of her ED, maybe she was coming across too many triggering posts, maybe she was just spending too much time on there and wanted to focus on her studies without getting distracted. Maybe she still has a private account, or maybe she really has stopped using it entirely. Who knows.

Honestly, I can think of plenty of other (worse) influencers who really should go offline, so props to Molly for actually doing it.

Good on her. However I would have thought she would have left a 'I'm fine, just leaving social media, thanks for all your support' kinda post

Yeah, she'd clearly been trying to distance herself from ED recovery content, but that's also all she ever got tagged in day after day, along with all the other depressing-as-duck stuff you see contantly online. I remember thinking that it can't be fun having constant daily reminders from strangers that you have an eating disorder if you're actively trying to recover and move forward.

And with friends like Ruby subjecting her to that tit regularly, too, getting rid of the whole damn thing is a damn good idea. She's clearly intelligent, and there's an infinite amount of better and more fulfilling uses for her time than trying to imitate every other ten-a-penny influencer online, so hopefully she's realised that and is much happier.

I know this thread is just about dead and Molly understandably wants her privacy, but Google has just revealed to me that she played Toby in a 00 Productions production of Sweeney Todd in Oxford this past February. Pics here in case anyone’s interested: https://www.00productions.co.uk/gallery

So it looks like she’s doing well, just choosing not to be on social media.
