Molly-Mae Hague revealed she has deleted TikTok after a backlash of negative comments as the second series of her show Behind It All was released on Amazon Prime
Molly-Mae Hague has broken her silence after being slammed for being ‘out of touch’ and ‘bratty’ on her Amazon Prime show Behind It All. The 26-year-old social media influencer and former Love Island star opened up to fans in her latest YouTube vlog.
She started off by telling her two million subscribers it had ‘definitely been an interesting week’ before revealing she had made the ‘executive decision’ to delete her TikTok account.
Explaining why, she said: “To be honest with you, it’s been, quite frankly, one of the best decisions I ever made.” Though she admitted she’d ‘grown thick skin over the years’ and was used to seeing negative comments in her line of work, Molly-Mae continued: “There’s just something about that app that just feels so insanely toxic.”
Since deleting TikTok, Molly-Mae said she had been shielded by most of the backlash but was alarmed when her makeup artist scrolled through it and saw “at least three things within that short time of me looking at her phone that I didn’t want to see”.

She said: “So, I just felt like, okay, definitely, definitely in no way, shape or form rushing to get the app back anytime soon.” Thanking fans for the positive messages she had received after series two of her docu-series started in October, Molly-Mae went on to say: “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. definitely learned a lot.”
She then joked: “Do you know what’s really liberating? The fact that I’m not going to see any of this clipped on to TikTok. That is a really liberating feeling. Like, I can say anything in my YouTube videos now and I’m not going to see the clipped bits on TikTok and then all the comments on it.”
Discussing how nervous she was for the documentary to come out, Molly-Mae told fans: “I think even before the premiere, there’s a bit of me in this vlog where I’m like severely anxious. And everything that everyone’s said was stuff that I anticipated. Definitely not all of it – but a lot of it was stuff that I flagged.
“I think people think I don’t know, or think, ‘Oh, she’s not thought about that. No, no. I literally said, ‘That’s going to cause this’ and ‘This is going to make them say this.'”
A social media star before she went on Love Island back in 2019, Molly-Mae said she’d been following a formula when it comes to creating her content for years that ‘avoids what is happening with the doc from happening’. But she said: “With this drop of the doc, we did the complete opposite of what we normally do.”
Explaining why, the influencer – who has a two-year-old daughter, Bambi, with partner Tommy Fury – shared: “We spoke about things we don’t speak about. We kept things in that probably I would never ever show of myself.
“Because with the last drop of the doc, everyone was like, ‘We want more. We want more.’ We want to see real everyday life. We want to see the realness behind it all.
“It’s like you give it, but then 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.
“So there’s not really – and I’m sure people will probably pick this apart as well – you just really, really can’t keep everyone happy. No matter how much you sit and try and just make something that you think people hopefully will enjoy.”
Going on to say how it makes her feel, Molly-Mae admitted: “I said in the doc that it doesn’t affect me – and it doesn’t affect me to a certain point – but then I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, everyone hates me!’ It’s like, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
“But if you sent me a lovely message and you did enjoy it, I’m so happy. And thank you. That’s all it was ever meant to be, just something for you guys to watch and enjoy. Love you millions.”
