Molly Mae Hague has revealed she received death threats over the ‘stupid’ comments she made about having a ‘boring summer’.
The Love Island star, 26, is back on screens with the second series of her fly-on-the-wall Prime Video show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
During the second episode, the influencer opened up about the online backlash she faced after making what she now calls a ‘silly’ comment.
One in particular came after she posted a YouTube video in which she complained that she had ‘not done one fun thing all summer.’
This came despite the fact that earlier in the year, the reality star had enjoyed a string of lavish trips – including skiing in the Swiss resort of St Moritz, city breaks in Budapest, Paris and Dubai, and even a family holiday to Centre Parcs with her partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi, two.
Molly-Mae’s comments didn’t go down well with her two million-plus YouTube subscribers, with many claiming she was ‘out of touch, tone-deaf and always moaning’.

Speaking about the backlash in her new Prime Video, she said: ‘I was so frustrated with myself when I saw the comments about me saying I’m going to get the end of this summer and not have had any fun and I can completely understand why people had a problem with what I said.
‘The days where the nation has turned against you, they’re not the best days.
‘I can see what happened, it looks like socialising because I have such an incredible job. I have had a great summer, I have an incredible life.
‘It was stupid, it was annoying [what I said]. I am so blessed. I’m definitely not perfect and I definitely think I can make improvements still.
‘I think we are at a stage now where one wrong comment, it could all be … [gone].
‘All there is at the minute on TikTok is the ‘downfall of Molly Mae’, I don’t actually know how I watch all of that and don’t get affected.
‘If I am not feeling a way, I cannot pretend I am. I will continue to be open and vulnerable about motherhood.’
Elsewhere in the episode, Molly-Mae revealed that she had received death threats following her infamous ’24 hours’ comment.

Reflecting on the controversy in her series, Molly-Mae admitted: ‘I was so disappointed in myself that I made that mistake’
The reality star came under fire after her 2021 appearance on The Diary Of A CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, where she said she had ‘worked my a**e off’ for her success and that ‘everyone has the same 24 hours in a day’ to achieve their goals.
Her remarks sparked intense backlash, with her fans accusing her of failing to acknowledge her privilege.
Reflecting on the controversy in her series, Molly-Mae admitted: ‘I was so disappointed in myself that I made that mistake.
‘Twitter was huge at the time and I was trending for weeks. I genuinely meant no malice or anything in that comment.
‘I felt that I upset so many people, that I needed to hold my hands up because I accepted and realised that that was wrong.
‘To get so angry and to leave such hateful comments and send death threats, like whose got that level of anger inside of them.
‘Some of the things that I have read and been sent in my inbox is absolutely wild, it would make you just really shocked to see.’
Molly-Mae: Behind It All eps 1-3 of Series 2 launch exclusively on Prime Video now.
