I really think she was the dorky "girl next door" who was shy in her younger years. Now she has some fame and cash and changed her body with meds, she is making up for her lost years. I really miss the old version. I watched AE religiously when she had a video and honestly was a Patreon member for a few months when MC launched. I quickly got tired of their antics, BS, and holier than though attitude. Also since she snapped on me and pinned a comment to sic her Stans on me on IG once for disagreeing with her on something.
She was that way before she left AE, she just hid it better because as bad as AJ is, even she wouldn't let that be posted.
All. Of. This.Molly‘s mask has slipped now that she doesn’t have anyone to reign her in.
Sometimes I still wrestle with who she was during the AE days, but there were clear signs of the “real” her then too. AJ had her on a tight leash. She wouldn’t let her collaborate with sponsors or do side projects. I think this really bugged Molly as her head kept getting inflated.
When it came to “fans,” it was hit or miss. I’ve heard stories of her being very cordial. There are also countless tales of the exact opposite. I experienced both. One time, I met her, and she was nice but clearly shy which I found interesting. She made small talk for awhile and was kind. I also saw her closer to the end of her time at AE. I said hi, and she made a face and looked me up and down before barely acknowledging me. She then turned around and mumbled something under her breath to the other AE cast member she was with. It was dismissive, rude, and obnoxious. That was the moment I realized this was not the same person that we see on camera.
I think we all have heard similar stories and even about how she would throw food away after photographing it while at AE (something I’m sure she continues to this day). The fake obsessions with characters or franchises are a lot too.
There’s been talk of a big fall out with Quincy and RJay as well. Quincy seems to be pretty genuine. RJay is an over the top mess though so that doesn’t surprise me. He should have his own thread.
