Molly-Mae Hague has firmly denied that her break-up with Tommy Fury and the accompanying documentary are merely a “publicity stunt,” expressing frustration over the accusations. The 25-year-old former Love Island star was speaking at the launch of her new fly-on-the-wall documentary series, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, set to premiere on Prime Video on 17 January.
The documentary offers an intimate look into Hague’s personal life, including her break-up with Fury, also 25, who has transitioned into a successful boxing career. Hague responded directly to claims that the documentary was part of a long-term brand strategy or designed to generate publicity. She said, “I think that for me, above everything, has been the most frustrating part, because I actually say in the documentary, ‘I wish it was a publicity stunt,’ because it’d be a lot easier.”
She continued, “Going through all of this with the turmoil of a break-up has been incredibly hard, to have those comments, and I do see the comments, I see all of them. People say, ‘oh, this has obviously just been done for long term brand or a publicity stunt,’ that is very painful, because it’s real life.”
Hague highlighted the gravity of the situation, noting, “Tommy and I have a baby together, and it’s very, very real, and it’s a really hard thing that we’ve both gone through the last six months.”
Despite the challenges, Hague explained that the documentary aims to shed light on the reality of their situation, providing a more authentic perspective. “I think this documentary will clear up any impressions of that, you see the real side to it, it’s kind of like you’re a fly on the wall,” she said. “And like I say, I think people are going to be quite, not shocked, but I think they’ll be quite surprised by how honest we’ve been.”
The documentary also touches on the public’s confusion over recent images of Hague and Fury, where they were seen together after rumours of their split. Hague addressed this, saying, “We are navigating a really complicated time in both of our lives, in the public eye, and I think this is a whole new territory for me.”
She added that despite the complexities, she and Fury were focusing on co-parenting and handling their personal challenges. “We’re doing the best we can,” she remarked, “but I really do feel like the documentary is going to answer a lot of questions.”
Hague, who also runs her own fashion brand Maebe, shared that the documentary goes beyond the break-up and explores other aspects of her life, including motherhood, body confidence, and managing her businesses. “It focuses on parts of my life that I haven’t really delved into before,” she said.
The first three episodes of Molly-Mae: Behind It All will be available to stream on Prime Video starting 17 January, with the final three episodes set to release in spring 2025.
