Molly-Mae Hague says she’s ‘quit social media’ after reality show backlash

The Love Island star was criticised for her 'diva and bratty behaviour'

The Love Island star (26) was criticised for her "diva and bratty behaviour" which had "put fans off her", per Goss.ie.

In a new YouTube video, Molly-Mae addressed the backlash, admitting that she had deleted TikTok because of it.

She said: "I had seen what people were saying about the doc and then made the executive decision to basically delete TikTok."

The influencer went on to say that deleting the app "has been quite frankly one of the best decisions I ever made", adding that "there’s something about that app that just feels like so insanely toxic."

Referring to her makeup artist scrolling through social media, Molly-Mae said she saw "at least three things within that short time of me looking at her phone that I didn’t want to see."

"So, I just felt like, okay, definitely in no way, shape, or form rushing to get the app back anytime soon. I just want to say that I’ve also received so many incredibly lovely messages and people saying that they’ve also really enjoyed it.

"And that’s literally all I wanted for the doc. It’s never ever been to do anything other than just create something for people to watch and enjoy.

"And I think I’ve definitely learned a lot," she said.

She went on to confess that she had been feeling "severely anxious" about her docu-series coming out as "she can't make everyone happy."

She said: "Like, I think even before the premiere, there’s a bit of me in this vlog where I’m like severely anxious.

"I literally said like 'that’s going to cause this' and 'this is going to cause that'. I have been doing this job now for a really, really long time, and I feel like we kind of had a formula that we followed for years that avoids what has happened with the doc from happening.

"And with this drop of the doc like we literally did the complete opposite of what we normally do. Like we spoke about, things we don’t speak about."

"We kept things in that probably I would never ever show of myself like because with the last drop of the doc everyone was like we want more. We want more."

Molly-Mae continued: "So, it’s like you give it, but then it’s not like it’s too much or it’s, you know.

"I saw someone saying that they fell asleep halfway through one of the episodes because it was so boring, yet they feel like the episodes aren’t long enough."
