Molly-Mae Hague Responds to Backlash Over Daughter Bambi’s ‘Biting’ Clip

Molly-Mae Hague has left fans in hysterics on Sunday as she addressed the viral moment her daughter Bambi ‘plotted’ to bite her nursery friends Emily and Dory.

The influencer, 26, was mum-shamed last month as fans accused her of being ‘too soft’ with parenting her two-year-old daughter.

Now, in a new Instagram post Molly has shared a series of ‘life at the minute’ snaps showing off her lavish lifestyle from private jets, out and about in Paris and spending time with Bambi and partner Tommy Fury. 

However, it was a snap of three cans of Heinz baked beans that caught fans eyes as the personalised tins featured Bambi, Emily and Dory’s names written on the label. 

Fans rushed to the comments: ‘It’s the Heinz beans for me; the beans ime crying; The 3 legends that are Emily Bambi & Dory; Not the beansssss; the beans i’m howling; 

‘Bambi the biter beanzzzz; Awwn our little biting princess; not emily’s beans looking like they’ve had a bite taken out of them;

‘Bambi, Dory’s & Emily’s beans I love this for BamBam; Not the Emily and Dory beans Hilarious!; The beans I’m dead;

‘The beans omg; The BEANSSSS!! Molly you are hilarious; THE BEANS I’M DEAD i love it hahahaha Bambi what an icon already; Not the beans.’ 

In a YouTube video last month, the former Love Islander left mums ‘concerned’ after Bambi listed all the people she wants to bite while speaking to Molly.

Molly, who was sat on the floor of her £3.5million mansion, replied telling her little girl ‘what do we use our mouths for, your mouth is for food, we don’t bite anyone OK’.

But it appeared that Bambi wasn’t totally on board, as she continued: ‘We bite…Emily. We bite… Dory.’

Chuckling, Molly replied, ‘No, no. I don’t know why I’m laughing at that, we bite croissants, we bite pasta, we bite pizza’.

The Maebe founder, who previously admitted she is ‘selfish’ and ‘not cut out’ to deal with the stresses of parenting, later added that she was ‘mentally exhausted’ by her daughter’s behaviour.

In a later section of the vlog, Molly added: ‘Just running the bath, last step of the day. I am mentally exhausted, I’m not gonna lie.

‘I’ve held it together today and I feel like I’ve definitely managed her mood today better than I would have a few weeks ago.’

Following sharing the vlog with her 2.4million followers, Molly’s clip chatting with Bambi about biting has gone viral and left many shocked by the toddler’s ‘wild’ behaviour.

Elsewhere in the photo dump, Molly looked in good spirits as she posed with her daughter in a pumpkin patch while another showed the pair enjoyed a roast dinner. 

She wrote: ‘Life at the minute>>>>. That’s all’. 

Last month, Molly shared her worries over how her two-year-old daughter Bambi had bitten two other children at nursery in a YouTube video.

The influencer declared: ‘It’s the complete opposite of what I want my child to be’.

She also said she was conflicted over taking her little girl for ice cream after the incident because she was concerned she would view it as a ‘reward for bad behaviour’.

Molly told how her sister Zoe Rae, 28, thought it was a bad idea to give Bambi a treat but revealed she was unsure how to tackle the situation and had even asked AI assistant ChatGPT for advice.

The mother of one, who recently reunited with partner Tommy Fury, admitted she wasn’t sure about the nursery’s ‘gentle parenting’ approach because she didn’t know if Bambi would know biting was wrong.

Opening up on the ordeal, she said: ‘I got a call from nursery today to tell me that she has bitten another child at nursery. This isn’t the first time it’s happened.’

‘Basically at her nursery at the minute, there’s a bit of a biting pandemic going on and all of the children are biting one another.

‘I got a call the other day to tell me that she’d been bitten and she came home with a full-on bite mark on her arm.

‘I wasn’t even cross or upset about it because I knew it would be a matter of days before they’d call me to say she’d done the same thing back to another child.

‘I feel like especially in her nursery, they’re all seeing each other doing it and copying the behaviour basically.’

She added: ‘So I got a call from her key worker to say that she’d bitten again today and I just feel like is taking her for ice cream later on rewarding her…when she’s done something at nursery that’s really not good?

‘But equally, I don’t even know if I should bring attention to it. When it happened the other week, I decided to go with the method of not bringing attention to it at all.

‘So not talking about it, because I think they do it because maybe they want a reaction, or she wants a rise, or she wants us to talk about it.

‘So I didn’t talk about it at all, but that method has clearly not worked because she’s gone into nursery and done it again today so even with no reaction, it’s still happening.

‘She’s getting the reaction she wants…if we’re all talking about it.’

Molly added: ‘It’s so embarrassing for me because it’s the complete opposite of what I want my child to be. All I want her to be in this life is kind, gentle, caring, loving and just like so lovely to the people around her. That’s what I want her to be to her core.

‘And her biting is just so far removed from who I want her to be. Equally she is two and a half and she is testing boundaries. Also it’s hard because at their nursery their way of disciplining is that they don’t really discipline.

‘They have very much a gentle parenting approach on the accident report form that I got about the bite. They were like we’ve told her that her mouth is for chewing and for eating her food, for biting down on food and nothing else.

‘I think that she knows [in] the environment she’s in she is not going to get told off, there’s not going to be an issue when she does bite. She’s not going to have anything taken off of her, or put on a naughty step – or really be told no.

‘But then is that the right approach? Because clearly whatever is going on now isn’t working because it is the second time that it has happened.

‘So I don’t know, I’m a bit stuck on this one. Probably going to get some comments on… I don’t know what the right thing is to do’. 

The rules of the nursery meant that Molly-Mae wasn’t told who the child was that Bambi had bitten, but she worked out it was a close friend of her child and called her mother to apologise, which she said made her ‘feel much better’.
