Molly-Mae Hague has finally broken her silence after facing intense online backlash, with critics accusing the influencer of being increasingly “out of touch” with her fanbase. The 26-year-old former Love Island star and multimillionaire entrepreneur addressed the controversy in her latest YouTube vlog, where she opened up about her struggles with motherhood, social media pressure, and public scrutiny.
Online Criticism Over Luxury Complaints
In recent weeks, Molly-Mae has drawn criticism for several comments that many fans deemed tone-deaf. Most notably, she remarked that she hadn’t done “one thing all summer,” despite taking multiple luxury trips abroad, including a controversial £86,000 motorhome holiday, which she expressed disappointment over.
The backlash only grew when her sister, Zoe Hague, admitted to cutting a Bali vacation short within 48 hours, opting to travel to Dubai instead because the location didn’t meet her expectations. The remarks led social media users to call the sisters “out of touch” with everyday struggles.
Molly-Mae Says She Now Feels “Scared” to Speak
In her latest vlog, the PrettyLittleThing creative director confessed that the constant online criticism is taking a toll. Speaking candidly from her car while her daughter, Bambi, sat in the backseat, Molly-Mae said:
“I am trying so, so hard to stay positive, but I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see every single thing. Bambi is a huge challenge — she screams, and I can’t even get socks and shoes on her.”
She added that while she claims not to care about the negative commentary, she now feels “scared to talk” about anything that could be perceived as controversial.
“I do not care who tells me I’m out of touch with reality or what’s going on on TikTok — I’m not going to stop talking about my life.”
Update on Relationship with Tommy Fury
In the same video, Molly-Mae offered a brief update on her relationship with boxer Tommy Fury, also 26, whom she met on Love Island in 2019. The couple, who share a two-year-old daughter, continue to navigate parenthood and busy careers in the public eye.
Despite the backlash, many fans have rallied around the influencer, praising her for being honest about motherhood and the pressures of online fame.
Social Media Reacts
While some online users remain critical, others sympathize with the former reality star, suggesting that the harsh judgment reflects the double standards faced by women influencers, especially those balancing young motherhood with a career.
