In a recent YouTube video, she let them know she’s not giving up!
“You’ll never be on screen your fake eye is too distracting,” wrote the actress, quoting users who couldn’t get over her disability.
Ellison placed the text over footage of herself holding up a prosthetic eyeball. Then, she shared a montage of herself in various roles, including one where her disability is prominently featured. This video’s comments section was filled with supportive fans who wished her all the best!
