The Love Island star came under fire after wearing a dark foundation shade usually used by women of color. Many people are furious, claiming that she looks ethnically ambiguous with this dark tan shade, and she has even been accused of "blackfishing." Molly-Mae Hague has been getting dragged because of the inappropriate way she has been marketing her tanning business. The name of her beauty brand is Filter By Molly-Mae, and according to its official website, it's the UK's leading self-tan brand.Recently, she came out with a shade called "Extra Dark," which is a pretty questionable name, according to some people. One user commented, "this feels slightly extreme?" while another fan agreed, saying, "I'm so tired of this." Another person directly pointed the issue: "So, we're gonna ignore that this is blackface." Many comments claimed that tan is not supposed to change a person's ethnicity and fans were angry at seeing an advertisement of a white model wearing an "Extra Dark" foundation.
Molly Mae-Hague Was Accused of Blackfishing
As Molly has olive-toned skin, many users were concerned after finding out she was not only wearing way too dark shades for her but also selling them. One person wrote to the Love Island star, "Please rethink what you are doing; girls look up to you and now think this is acceptable and normal."
On the other hand, some fans took Molly's side and commented that people were being too severe to her, like this person who wrote, "Molly-Mae DOES NOT apologize because she has nothing to apologize for. You have a tanning product. I'm not quite sure what people expect it to do. People always reaching for trouble where there is none KMT."
However, the majority were angry and called out the TV personality, saying, "Black fishing at its finest!!! Literally a whole change of race." Molly hasn't yet addressed this controversy, but it seems like now she and her team are more careful when posting pictures on the beauty brand's Instagram account.
Did Jake Paul Expose Molly-Mae in His DMs?
Molly-Mae has slammed Jake Paul for being rude to her and her boyfriend Tommy Fury. In the middle of the ongoing feud between the boxers, Molly has gotten involved in this. The Love Island star recently said on her Instagram story, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
She posted this message after Jake Paul shared an Instagram post saying that he didn't know who Tommy was and said that the boxer was inferior to his brother Tyson Fury. Jake said, "I wake up and see Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champ, tweets me, and he was talking sh*t about Canelo too, saying it was boring or like no one was watching, and I was laughing along with it. Then I get to the bottom of the tweet, and I see that he calls me out to fight someone, and the tweet's about his brother, and I'm like, 'I didn't even know he had a brother.'"
Then he added, "I didn't know Tyson Fury had a bro. I like Tyson Fury, I don't want beef with Tyson Fury, but damn, if Tyson Fury took a sh*t, it would be this little brother. He's literally like this little kid. But my point is here; you're Tyson Fury's little brother; if you want to fight me, don't let your big bro do sh*t for you, log on to Instagram and Twitter and call me out for yourself, bro. What's going on in this boxing world?!"
On top of that, Jake warned Tommy saying, "You should be more worried about your girl sliding into a bunch of dudes DMs than you should be about fighting me." He allegedly shared a private DM that Molly sent him, saying, "Might be coming to America later this year and have always been a fan of your videos. Maybe you can show me around?" However, fans of Molly were quick to call out Jake Paul for his "lies."
Molly-Mae Was A Victim Of A £800k Burglary
Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae were victims of a robbery where an "experienced gang reportedly robbed them £800,000." The former Love Island stars were in London at the Beauty Works Christmas launch when the couple's flat in Hale, Greater Manchester, was targeted at around 10 pm on Thursday, October 21st according to The Mail Online.
A source told the newspaper the couple was left extremely shaken by the incident and vowed that they would never return to the apartment because of what happened.
The insider said they feel they've been targeting and don't feel safe there anymore. The gang has approached the property from the rear and smashed through the balcony windows to gain access. They added they've approximately stolen £800,000 worth of belonging, leaving them "with nothing left other than what they had on them in their suitcases in London on the night of the event."
A representative for Molly told The Mail Online, "Molly is doing well considering the circumstances. It has been a very distressing time, but she is trying to be as positive as possible."
