A 14-year-old whose texts to Tyga led to her being accused of briefly ending his on/off relationship with Kylie Jenner sobbed during a press conference on Monday. Molly O'Malia choked back tears as she read out a
written statement, sitting beside the celebrity attorney Gloria Allred. While
Molly never met the rapper, they traded messages until his suggestion
that they FaceTime made her 'uncomfortable,' she explained. She then ended contact with the 26-year-old.
However
the contact between Tyga and Molly was later cited in a magazine story
as the cause of his brief but much-speculated about November breakup
with 18-year-old Kylie.
'She
feels that she needs to speak out and so does her mom, people need to
be accountable,' she stated during the press conference, which was live
streamed by
Allred
insisted that OK magazine had wrongly implied her young client was keen
to have a sexual relationship with Tyga, who is said to have been
unaware of the girl's age when he contacted her.
Refusing
to rule out taking legal action against the magazine or rapper, Allred
stated: 'I know that Tyga has music coming out this month, Gone Too Far,
and I think he’s gone too far with this.'
Molly insisted she did not pass any of Tyga's messages to the media.
She
told the room of reporters: 'Even though OK Magazine pixelated my face
and did not use my name, a lot of people could tell it was me.'
The messages saw Tyga compliment Molly's looks, and ask if she was ever in the Los Angeles area.
Molly
explained: 'As a result of the story and the photo, I received a lot of
negative attention, not only from people in my own state but from all
over the place. I don’t deserve the negative attention I have been
getting as a result of this photo.
'I would never have allowed OK Magazine or any other magazine to use them.
'I am speaking out today because I don’t want what happened to me to happen to any other young girl.’
And she said of the contact between the two: 'The truth is that Tyga contacted me first. He direct messaged me on Instagram.'
And
she continued: 'I began to feel uncomfortable when he asked me to
FaceTime with him. He asked me to FaceTime 3 times, but I did not do
it.
'Because
of my discomfort with why he wanted to communicate with me I quickly
stopped responding to him. It's crazy how so much can come out of
nothing.'
Molly's mother insisted it was the teen's own choice to shed her anonymity.
'Molly
decided the best thing to do was to stand up for herself,' said Anne.
'I’m very proud of her to have the courage to come today and do this.
'I love you Molly, and I’m proud to be your mom.'
