Blind YouTube Star Molly Burke Opens Up About Overcoming Bullying | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@MollyBurkeOfficial]

Thanks for having me on the show!!

[@annifieber361]

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

[@starekonto6086]

I love you so much 💘

[@kaylajarema974]

Molly Burke So very talented. Shane loves only the best💙💙 So happy he helped me discover you

[@wahblammo]

Molly Burke Hello you beautiful person 💗

[@rmk6693]

You are SO awesome Molly. You show the power of being who you are and following your passions, strengths and dreams. You are unique in this world and a voice we need to hear!! Thank you! Your mom is also SO special. I would love to hear from her more too. :)

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I think Molly is the most positive influential KZbinr of them all!

[@jacquelinesmith9897]

Cooking Lessons for Dad couldn’t have said it better !

[@annadrozdowska7055]

100% agree!

[@meghanchoate2398]

Anyone that watches Molly knows the most accurate thing about this interview is Gallop literally just sleeping the whole time lol #typicalgallop

[@jo-annmahaka]

Meghan Paige right🤣🤣🤣

[@DanaBugg]

Look theres Gallop.... Working.... So hard... XD

[@heathercbc7287]

Molly is the legit only reason I am watching a clip of this show. Love Molly!!!

[@austinnelson396]

HeatherC BC Same here!

[@PriPicz]

Same 😀

[@Camillacamillacamilla]

Molly’s channel is actually super educational and entertaining. I thought I’d just watch one video but now I’m addicted

[@austinnelson396]

Camilla Henriksen Right?

[@alielaw7960]

Same

[@emilypickhardt8309]

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]

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]

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]

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).

[@Voss.R]

Um, Molly is the one that brought up dating.

[@b-radg916]

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.

[@martnor6608]

I'm confused though how and why on this earth would anyone bully a blind person

[@lifegoeson9695]

Why would anyone bully anyone?

[@LIZZyNIqUZZ10]

Low lifes

[@gabriellerussell8484]

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]

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]

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

[@tonistark4169]

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]

Toni Stark how do you type this

[@ashleysmith6187]

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]

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]

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. 😊

[@tonistark4169]

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

[@taylorbiggs6654]

Omg Molly this interview made me cry I’m so happy you got to do this!! And Gallop is winning by sleeping the whole time 😂

[@brithanna7552]

Taylor Biggs galllop is mood

[@JuMixBoox]

Also, mention some of the other cool things she's done before and during her KZbin 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 KZbin is just one part of it.

[@kaitlyncipko2864]

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!

[@FictionalFangirlAng]

Im so glad I found Molly through Shane Dawson. She's just a great human being. Love her.

[@datgirlmeredith5370]

I found Shane through Molly. :)

[@davids.3584]

@@anasabolovic5006 haven't heard of Shane till molly

[@JuMixBoox]

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

[@kendraarnold7148]

SO PROUD TO SEE YOU GETTING SOME NATIONAL ATTENTION MOLLY!! YAY!!! You deserve to share your story and you are a wonderful influencer and person!

[@alexm5600]

SO glad to see Molly on Megyn Kelly. Learned about her through Shane's channel. She's such an amazing, beautiful person

[@addigreen2728]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@KimiiKay]

She's such a beautiful, strong, and confident girl. ❤

[@eileencloonan8261]

Kim, the VERY Reason... she was Bullied! because she is beautiful, strong and confident!

[@jeffgrenier5334]

So true!

[@Secretzstolen]

*woman

[@sylviaoesterwinter8858]

What a poised and inspirational young lady! I'm going to share this with my 17 yo daughter.

[@kimberl6630]

Love Molly..thank u for honoring Molly with being on the show! She is such a positive spirit!

[@jadedperceptions736]

I love Molly! She is such a beautiful soul if you don’t follow her I highly recommend it her channel is so informative as well as fun!

[@puregoddessuniversity]

So basically we all have zero excuses for not living our best life! She is inspiring!

[@MileyCrazyLoud]

Just because she can cope with it doesn't mean everybody can, plus she has had a great support system which is not everyone's reality

[@rachelsweets]

@@MileyCrazyLoud true

[@iciecube]

Itzi u right

[@SqueamishNerd]

Wow, that's an extremely privileged thing to say, I'm stunned.

[@fetB]

try living like her without parents, or a brother, and without the money that comes from the success. Thats more like the reality for a lot of blind people

[@isaywhatiwants6309]

The woman in back of Molly really looks broken by her story, God bless her

[@aashamoushum1852]

Yeah I noticed too! I feel like she’s a mom and couldn’t imagine this happening to any of her kids. She’s definitely an empathetic person for sure. ❤️

[@austing5804]

I’m so proud of her what an inspiring soul ❤️

[@green3y3dgirl]

Our girl Molly killing it!! ♥️ love you girl! So proud of you!!

[@heysamaraikyourelookatmyyo7880]

She’s so inspirational, what a great girl!

[@gracedoebler7032]

Yay Molly! Such a great interview! Your killer bees are proud!

[@cami42874]

I was bullied when I was seven that was in the 70s and it was the most saddest thing I ever went though I really feel for molly

[@hjcb01]

What an amazing human being.

[@middleofsomewhere444]

Holly B. Agreed

[@kb9847]

LOVE Molly!! She's my Canadian Sister!!! Way to go Molly you did great!!! I hope more people go over to your channel and check you out!

[@LorraineinPNW]

I'm a Molly Burke follower, and she is so much fun and inspiring!

[@Ellashae]

I feel like I love Molly on a deep and personal level. I'm blind myself and she's inspiring to me to be able to go talk to other people about me I've always been that way but just her shows that I'm not the only one. Feeling alone when you're young like me 13 you feel lost you feel alone and if any blind people are reading this just know you're not alone you're not lost your perfectly where you're supposed to be. And know you are loved Beyond measures that's something I need to hear and so let me tell you

[@bresea702]

I LOVE that she goes against every single sterotype out there about blind people. Her channel really opened my eyes to the world of people who are blind.

[@sasaoldbarn]

Girl, I'm beyond proud of you, look where you've come!!!! Lots of love and hugs from a viewer in germany

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

This is awesome Molly! This is so cool! This brings a lot of awareness to all of us with RP. Great work! :)

[@AvisWrentmore]

I hope to God those girls who left her in the forest see this and realize how awful they are - how terrible - and what kind of parents raise monsters like that. She could have died in the forest. Terrible people on this planet that exist. I hope that Karma lives with them forever.

[@squatch545]

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

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

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]

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

[@Annie-lj4vh]

She can see light and shadow, she talks about it in several videos. Please watch some of her videos and vlogs - she’s seriously so cool.

[@PrincesaLunez]

yup, one of the greatest gifts you can give molly is anything that has great sensory touching (like slime, those glittery pillows, etc) and reflects light or is really bright c: it’s exciting for her last bit of sight left

[@CaitS34]

His name is gallop and she has a whole guide dog q & a on her channel. She's done collaborations with other KZbinrs who show what she's able to see in their homes & she talks about it on her channel sometimes.

[@milesandemilyrock]

Gallop just passed out the floor is literally me. Such a hard-working doggy.

[@LJ13222]

yes good for Molly!!! love her

Molly, even though you could be my daughter, I am learning so much from you! I am losing my vision due to multiple retina detachments. This is a fairly new issue and I really struggle with acceptance. Thank you for being such an amazing human being and know that you are giving hope to others! I am so thankful that my co-worker saw you on the Today show and let me know about you! Many blessings.

[@skyelingriffin1223]

Wooow how could you leave let alone a blind person but anyone alone in the woods if I was with people and turned around for a sec and they were gone or running away I would feel paranoid and scared in the woods wooow what horrible people hopefully they grew up and know better now and regret it I’m 15 and so I’m around the same age as they were and ik a lottt of people my age and younger and none of them would do that it just like shocks me

[@AwesomeBlassom]

Yay I'm so proud of Molly! She's just such a good person and she always makes me smile whenever I watch her videos. It's so nice for good KZbinrs being interviewed instead of trouble makers like Jake paul. Now that is how you represent KZbin. Good job Molly!

Hey her mom has the same name as me! When Megyn Kelly said "Nayv", I was like "wow, that sounds a lot like Niamh", then her name popped up. :-P

[@Ginauz]

One of my friends in school growing up was called Niamh, its a beautiful name - funny listening to new teachers trying to pronounce it

[@gnome5051]

Niamh is such a beautiful name, there's quite a few people with it here in Scotland, there were three at WCF summer camp and I went to primary school with four in my year.

[@johnrobinson4445]

Molly really is amazing. The shopping video was great. And there are many others.

Molly is like a angle she is definitely a inspiration and a fun KZbinr to watch. As someone who had over 15 or more ear infections in my lifetime and partly death and unexpected seizures one that caused me to fall off my chair since My body shook violently I thought threw got medication to help slow down my seizure and am learning to live with the minor and sometimes serious hearing loss graduated academy and got a great job. I’m proud to be subscribed to Molly she’s taught me a lot about myself I’m finding my purpose again and her story is inspiration to me and many people. God bless Molly.
