Molly Mae cruelly mum-shamed after quitting £5m PLT job to concentrate on baby Bambi
MOLLY-Mae Hague has been cruelly mum-shamed by trolls after quitting her role as PrettyLittleThing’s creative director.
The former Love Island star, 24, is proud mum to baby Bambi with partner Tommy Fury, also 24.
This week, Molly revealed she is stepping back from her £5million job as PrettyLittleThing‘s creative director.
Molly told her latest YouTube video she’s had to “rearrange my life a little bit” to dedicate more time to her little girl, aged five months.
However, she stressed that she will remain a brand ambassador for the fast-fashion brand and insisted there is “no drama and no tea” about her departure from the role.
Molly opened up about her decision at the end of a YouTube video she shared on Wednesday.
Since giving birth, Molly has sadly been mum-shamed by a host of online trolls.
And this instance was no different, with one keyboard bully immediately reacting in the comments section of her video.
They unfairly wrote: “You’ve quit PLT but you took no maternity leave. Who goes to work straight after giving birth.
“I’ve taken 1 year maternity leave and stopped my business to concentrate on my child. So don’t get how you went to work straight away knowing you have a new born.
“Sure use the money to concentrate on your child. And PLT will pay your maternity leave. Makes no sense.”
Yet Molly’s loyal fans were quick to hit back.
One wrote: “I love that you don’t sugar coat that you’ve struggled being a first time mum and admit you’ve struggles it’s so real and many new mums go through it.”
A second put: “Motherhood gets easier Molly. It’s such a big change but it definitely does. I love how you’re so honest. You’re great and I love your uploads.”
A third continued: “Yayyyyyy so happy that you are reducing commitments with PLT so we might be able to see more of you xxxxxxxxx”
One added: “I’m so proud of you Molly, for making the decision to step down from a position so you can spend time with Bambi. Motherhood is the hardest thing I’ve gone through and it does get so much more rewarding as they get older!
“I too couldn’t see myself having another one and if you don’t, THAT’S OK! loved this video and can’t wait for your next one!! Xxx”
In her PLT reveal on YouTube, the star said: “A lot of people have been asking me about PLT creative director. ‘How’s the role going? How’s everything going with PLT?’
“Everything is going incredibly with PLT. I will forever have the most insane relationship with PLT – they are literally my family.
“I am still working with them and doing collections and edits, but I have actually decided to step down as my creative director role.”
She went on: “I know this is quite a big thing to just mention.
“Over the last few weeks, I have realised that I’m only going to get this time once with my first-born child.
“I’m only going to get Bambi being four months old once and I feel like I’ve had to rearrange my life a little bit and lose some commitments that I did have.
“Myself and PLT have decided collectively that as much as the creative director role was incredible and I have literally loved being the creative director of PLT more than anything – it was such an amazing chapter for me – it has naturally come to an end.
“I am a mum now. I never really gave myself a maternity leave and I got straight back into work instantly because my work is my phone and showing my life is my work.
“There were just certain areas of my life where I had to re-evaluate. The last thing I would want to be is in a role that I can’t fulfil right now at this moment in my life.
Molly-Mae added: “There is no drama, there is absolutely no tea, there is nothing that has gone on.
“It was the most incredible pinch-me moment. I will never ever not be grateful to that business for what they have done to my career.”
Molly has previously been mum-shamed for taking her first baby overseas to the hot climes of the UAE.
She was even accused of “dangerous” misinformation about breastfeeding in a recent YouTube video.
Meanwhile, the star recently revealed her struggles to “accept” her post-baby body.
Previously, Molly told how her new curves meant she looked like she had a Brazilian Butt Lift.
