OPINION | Molly-Mae Hague uses her 24 hours to say “sorry” but will it mend the damage of the toxic hustle culture she clearly embodies.

“We all have the same 24 hours” – Influencer & Creative Director of Pretty Little Thing’s Molly-Mae Hague comes under fire for comments on work ethic. We all have the same 24 hours. This is what 22-year old influencer Molly-Mae Hague preached in an interview on the Diary of a CEO podcast, hosted by Steven Bartlett. Over the last week, a short clip of Hague talking about her work ethic went viral, causing Molly-Mae and Molly Thatcher to trend on Twitter. For a moment, it seemed that the whole internet had joined forces to argue that as a society we are far from having the same 24 hours and not all people have equal rights to the kind of success that the influencer entrepreneur has achieved. From think pieces to news reports and a less than flattering update to her Wikipedia page. Molly-Mae has had to bear a weighty level of backlash the last couple of weeks. Here is a breakdown of what was said and why it brings up such polarising debate on the internet. ARTICLE ON GUAP.CO
