Kitty Hinde is 21 years old and became completely blind at 19 due to glaucoma she had suffered from since childhood.
In a video that went viral, the British creator said she was with a boyfriend for two and a half years whom she described as “ugly”, and concluded by saying that now, single, she has much more time to choose better.
The detail that outraged thousands: that same ex-boyfriend was the one who supported her through the process of losing her sight, one of the hardest moments of her life.
The criticism was immediate. “It’s very ugly of you to say that”, one user wrote to her, and hundreds echoed the sentiment: how can someone who asks not to be judged for her disability judge others by their appearance?
Kitty, known for speaking openly about visual disability and dating, now faces the weight of her own words. 👀 What do you think?
