ellen was asking her some clearly uncomfortable questions but she managed to answer in a respectful, caring way. ariel we love you.

[Chabels]

She speaks with such eloquence and grace. I'm totally seeing her in a different light now.

[stefaniearriaga]

She's so well spoken, she should be the person young girls look up to.

[marinkavdeursenxedits]

She's not just smart on the show, she is a very smart, wise and classy young woman in real life as well.

[maisarahjeffrey]

she seems like a great person. the way she speaks is so polite, sincere and without judgement.

[evewiens]

She doesn't play the smart one, she IS the smart one

[ghostie]

she can say intelligent sentences so fast. As she thinks it, it rolls off her tongue. Ellen would have to wait about 2 minuets for me to try and form my ideas into proper words.They were hard questions too, and this girl answered them quick and efficiently!

[SunsetBeauty]

She's such a strong amazing woman

[CharlesNeri]

MAN!!! she's amazing, so mature and such such SUCH AN INTELLIGENT answer, when she say's why she's not going to tell the reason she emancipated. WOW seriously this girl is really smart.

Imagine her and kylie Jenner are the same age I would rather Ariel be represented as a role model than Kylie for sure

[maddisonisgreen]

okay I'm obsessed with her. she is so well spoken for her age and just carries herself so well. way to go Ariel

[dylanromano]

Young girls and boys should listen to her. No matter if they're your family, You can't be with toxic people even though you're blood related.

[brontiq]

she sounds very mature and down to earth for someone her age who's deeply in the showbiz shit. seems like a really strong person too. kudos

[appellationsobriquet]

What an amazing girl, most celebrities wouldn't even consider going to college or having a proper education.

[shinesbrighter]

She has such nice, intelligent responses. I'm so proud of what a strong woman she became!

[youraveragefan]

She needs to be given more recognition for being such a down to earth, important role model for young women. I love her so much <3

[reannajealyncameron]

I used to really like Ellen but lately I've been realizing how intrusive she is. Ariel handled the uncomfortableness of the question with grace.

[itsnotyouitsme_]

I just love her, so articulate and wise beyond her years.

[JamesV]

Wow, much respect to her. It really sounds as if she has been through more in her life at her age than many through all their life. And it's nice to see that seems to have come out stronger because of it :)

[Daisymaysvlogs]

Wow, she is so articulate for someone at such a young age! She is amazing!
