Maroney, who's now 20, also explained how people judging her on social media from such a young age affected her: "Growing up in the social media world, it's tough. Your face changes, you get older, your face fills out, and you fall into liking makeup and different stuff like that. And for people saying that, for the most part—it would kind of hurt my feelings when you haven't done anything."
But even with all of the attention, Maroney comes off in the interview as excited and positive about the future. She talks about her lifelong interests in art and particularly music, which seems to be her new path: She's been writing songs for the past year and was initially planning to sell them to other artists but has decided to pursue her own career as a performer instead.
And as for the haters? "I can't blame anybody for saying, 'Oh, she changed!' You know, because I have. And that's OK," Maroney said. "It's good to keep evolving and growing. I think most people should be accepting with stuff like that, but you know, you can't force anybody into feeling a certain way. So for anybody who's judging it and not liking it, that's fine. Unfollow me. I don't really care."
One hundred percent, McKayla.
