Molly-Mae Hague, the 26-year-old influencer and former Love Island star, has addressed the backlash that followed the release of the second season of her Amazon Prime Documentary Behind It All. Some viewers branded her "out of touch" and "bratty," but in a new YouTube vlog, she opened up about the criticism and revealed a shocking decision: she has permanently deleted her TikTok account.
Starting the video with a statement to her two million subscribers that "it's definitely been an interesting week," Molly-Mae shared her decision with a sense of relief. "To be honest with you, it's been, quite frankly, one of the best decisions I ever made," she said.
Despite having grown a "thick skin" over the years, Molly-Mae admitted that there was something about the TikTok app that felt "insanely toxic." She explained that after briefly looking at her makeup artist's phone, she was "alarmed" by what she saw. "I saw at least three things within that short time that I didn't want to see," she said. "So, I'm definitely not rushing to get the app back anytime soon."
Molly-Mae went on to thank her fans for their supportive messages about the series, saying that it was never meant to be anything other than just creating something for people to watch and enjoy. "And I think I've definitely learned a lot," she added with a hint of humor. "Do you know what's really liberating? The fact that I'm not going to see any of this clipped on to TikTok."
Reflecting on her nerves before the premiere, she said she anticipated much of the criticism. "People think I don't know, but I literally said, 'That's going to cause this,'" she revealed. Despite mixed reactions, she expressed gratitude to viewers who enjoyed the show, saying, "That's all it was ever meant to be — just something for you guys to watch and enjoy. Love you millions."
