Molly Hopkins might be a popular 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast member, but she also has her fair share of critics. The outspoken and brash Georgia businesswoman is known for her biting sense of humor on Pillow Talk alongside her best friend and business partner, Cynthia Decker. While Molly regularly appears in 90 Day Fiancé content, she is also at the center of several controversies that make her a polarizing cast member.
Molly first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé season 5 when she fell for young Dominican Republic man Luis Mendez. Luis and Molly married in the United States despite having an intensely unhealthy and argumentative relationship. Their marriage was short-lived, and Luis ended up remarrying and relocating quickly after their split. While Luis is now divorced again, Molly went on to find love with Brooklyn cop Kelly Brown on 90 Day: The Single Life. However, Molly is better known for her humorous commentaries alongside Cynthia. The two women also own and run the popular lingerie store LiviRae Lingerie.
While Molly is a successful businesswoman and high-profile 90 Day Fiancé cast member, she has been called out for being a bad mother. Some fans cannot stand Molly due to the way she treats her daughters. Molly brought Luis into her home that she shared with her daughters, Olivia and Kinsley. Many viewers were alarmed by Luis, as he notoriously made Olivia extremely uncomfortable and even asked the then-teenager prying sexual questions. Viewers were horrified that Molly would bring a potential predator into her home where two young girls lived. Meanwhile, Molly has also been called out for cutting off Kinsely’s hair during the pandemic because she said she didn’t want to manage mixed-race hair.
Molly has maintained that she is a loving mother. However, many 90 Day Fiancé fans think differently about Molly, especially since a past scuffle with Molly and Olivia resulted in her daughter being arrested. Meanwhile, Molly has also been dealing with a controversial weight-loss journey. Franchise fans have supported the mother choosing to lose weight and slim down for health and happiness. However, many viewers dislike how she peddles weight-loss products. Molly has been accused of selling pyramid scheme items to her followers, as she purchases Plexus products and advertises them to her fans. Viewers have also called into question the validity of the products and whether or not they can actually help one lose weight or improve one's health.
Overall, Molly has many viewers divided. To some, 90 Day Fiancé star Molly is a funny and entertaining reality TV personality who also has a thriving business. To others, Molly is a questionable person who potentially endangered her daughters and pushes pyramid scheme products online. Molly's vastly different personas make her one of the most polarizing 90 Day Fiancé franchise stars. However, she also remains one of the most popular, successful, and high-profile franchise regulars.
