Molly Mae faces backlash for \u201cprivileged\u201d comments on poverty YouTube: Diary of a CEOPopular influencer and \u2018Love Island\u2019 star Molly Mae Hague is coming under fire after making comments about poverty that many viewers feel are insensitive and come from a place of privilege. Molly Mae is one part social media mogul, one part reality TV star, and one part businesswoman, having recently become Creative Director at trendy clothing line PrettyLittleThing. The 22-year-old influencer is on top of the world right now, and was recently invited onto the The Diary of a CEO podcast to discuss her recent success\u2026 but the show isn\u2019t being met with high acclaim. Three weeks after its initial release, a clip from the podcast began making its way across TikTok and Twitter, showing Molly Mae discussing the backlash she\u2019s received in the past for comments along the line of \u201ceveryone has the same 24 hours in a day.\u201d Molly Mae comes under fire for podcast comments \u201cYou\u2019re given one life, and it\u2019s up to you what you do with it,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can literally go in any direction.\u201d \u201cI understand that obviously we all have different backgrounds and we\u2019re all raised in different ways, and we do have different financial situations, but I think if you want something enough, you can achieve it,\u201d she continued. The internet has since fired back at Hague\u2019s comments, with the topic going viral on Twitter and amassing a huge number of replies critical of the influencer\u2019s stance on the topic of money and success. \u201cImagine running round a restaurant for 9 hours a day on barely minimum wage and being told that we have the same 24 hours,\u201d one user tweeted. \u201cShe needs to check herself.\u201d molly mae is a lovely soul but her interview is a shambles and so tone deaf. imagine running round a restaurant for 9hrs a day on barely minimum wage and being told that we have the same 24 hrs\ud83d\ude2d she needs to check herself \u2014 Charl (@charlkoster) January 7, 2022 Still others compared Mae\u2019s comments to the infamous photo of Paris Hilton wearing a \u2018Stop Being Poor\u2019 T-Shirt. Some commenters are bringing up older tweets from Mae, where the influencer claims that she napped throughout the day, comparing her posts to her \u201c24 hours in a day\u201d comment.
