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.

Emotional: Ninth
grader Molly, 14, is comforted by celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred as she
speaks to the press about reports she was responsible for rapper Tyga's
brief break-up with Kylie Jenner in November
High profile: Kylie Jenner and Tyga's
brief breakup back in November was blamed on texts the rapper sent to
Molly; the two are seen back in September
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.
A
blurred photograph of the ninth grader and a copy of some of her and
Tyga's private messages accompanied the story in the December 28 edition
of OK Magazine.
Despite
the article not identifying her, the teen told reporters, 'a lot of
people' recognised her Instagram image, and she was overwhelmed by the
negative reaction.
Allred,
whose past clients include Spice Girl Mel B and Tiger Woods former
mistress Rachel Uchitel, explained that the young singer had 'thousands'
of followers on social media.
'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

'Negative attention': Model is an aspiring model and singer with 'thousands' of Instagram followers
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.
Facing the
public: Molly's mother Anne, right, said it was her daughter's decision
to speak out; Gloria holds aloft the unmuzzed photo of the teen which
attracted Tyga's attention
Tearful: Anne said she was 'proud' of her teen daughter for speaking out
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.’
