Slamming the hug allegation, Molly clarified the state of affairs from her standpoint:
“Concerning any claims of inappropriate habits in direction of his kids, I need to make clear that I’ve by no means pressured his kids to hug me or work together with me. In truth, his daughter initiated a hug with me as soon as and playfully tickled me earlier than operating away. I adopted her to interact in a light-hearted tickle again, which is just a part of our playful interactions.”
Hmm.
