MULTI-millionaire Molly-Mae Hague built an empire off the back of her real-life relatability on social media – but her unfiltered honesty appears to have backfired following a recent breakdown.
We can reveal those close to her partner Tommy Fury claim the 26-year-old’s candid views on motherhood have ruffled feathers within his famous boxing family.

Just months after the couple got back together following Love Island Tommy’s booze battle, tension is said to be brewing over Molly-Mae’s public struggles with parenting their daughter Bambi.
The two-year-old’s temper tantrum this week led reality star Molly to film herself breaking down in tears in despair.
The 26-year-old cried “I’m sorry, I’m so embarrassed” as she opened up about the “huge problems” she faces as a mum of one.
But the heartfelt moment seems to have bothered her Irish Traveller in-laws who are more used to the no-nonsense attitude of Paris Fury – the wife of Tommy’s boxing legend brother Tyson – who has seven children.
A source told The Sun: “Within the Travelling community, having a big family with lots of children is the norm.
“Tommy’s relatives have been hopeful that he and Molly will have more children after getting back on track.
“They care about her so much and are concerned, but also worried about how publicly she’s venting about motherhood.
“The family are used to Paris’s attitude of being able to work, run the house and bring up her seven kids with Tyson without complaint.
“Molly voicing how difficult she’s finding it is surprising. They’ve been reaching out to support her through this tough time.
“Of course it’s natural for Molly to share the good, the bad and the ugly with her fans – no matter what anyone says.
“She is determined to open up fully to her followers, whatever the backlash, and encourage the family to see it from her perspective.”
Molly-Mae has previously said she is “selfish” and is “not cut out” to deal with the stresses of parenting.
It’s in stark contrast to Tommy’s sister-in-law Paris who was praised for her resilience in the family’s Netflix documentary, At Home with the Furys.
Molly‑Mae herself has described the 35-year-old as “wonder woman”, having formed a close bond as Fury WAGs.

Sadly, Paris was left heartbroken in May 2024 when she miscarried her eighth child while six months pregnant, days before Tyson’s highly-anticipated fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
She had previously revealed plans to have 10 children with her heavyweight champion husband, admitting: “There are times when it’s stressful, but I enjoy it. I like that kind of chaotic life.”
Meanwhile Molly’s breakdown over her daughter’s “terrible twos” followed furious backlash online about being “out of touch”.
The businesswoman was accused of “moaning” after telling fans she’s not done one “fun thing” this summer despite jetting off to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest.
Addressing the upset as she sobbed about motherhood, Molly admitted: “I’m trying so so hard to stay positive and have a really nice day but I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see… every single thing is a huge problem.
“I can’t even get like socks and shoes on”.

She added: “I don’t care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that’s going on on TikTok at the minute, I don’t care I’m not going to not talk about it.”
She sobbed: “We’re at a little local farm near us and Zoe and Bambi have gone in, just to leave me to calm down for a minute.”
Despite her comments seemingly causing upset, Molly has no intention of censoring herself when it comes to what she posts online.
Loving fans have flooded her with messages of support to assure her she’s not alone in how she’s feeling.
One said: “You are amazing. Truly. Please don’t ever feel like a failure. You’re doing your absolute best, and it shows. You’re not alone — so many of us are just trying to survive each day. And that’s enough. You’re enough.”
Another added: “You are an amazing mum. All children go through these moments. Plus we have more sensitive days where everything can feel 100 times worse. You are not alone!! You are amazing.”
Someone else wrote: “Hey Molly, you’re doing a great job. Everyone’s personality is different and every mum handles their child in different ways.
“Some mums wake up enjoying every minute, including the screaming and shouting and some despise it.”
Molly faced immense pressure to open up about her brief split from Tommy last year after he turned to alcohol to cope while injured from boxing.

The Sun revealed the pair rekindled at a New Year’s Eve party at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw’s home before Molly spoke out about their troubles weeks later in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
Our source added: “Molly is always unapologetically herself.
“She’s got a thick skin and can deal with what people throw at her. It’s more important to Molly that she’s authentic about how she’s dealing with being a mum.
“She’s been through a lot in the past year and is just focused on her family.
“Molly loves Bambi more than anything and who knows what the future will hold about having more kids.”
The Sun has reached out to Molly and Tommy’s reps.
