Yikes
Many especially took Hague to task for saying that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day and can achieve success. They don't exactly agree.
Acknowledging The Differences
Others took to Twitter to acknowledge just how much a person's individual background and privilege can play into their success. It takes more than one's determination.
Getting Critical
Clearly, Twitter users wasted no time in criticizing Hague for her recent comments. Some didn't appreciate that she didn't acknowledge other factors that contribute to how successful one can be.
In Her Defense
Even though Hague drew a ton of backlash for the interview, there were some who did come to her defense. They don't agree with the amount of criticism that she's been receiving online.
Tone Deaf
"What Molly-Mae said is absolutely true, anyone can be wherever they like, they just need to be determined enough to achieve it," another user pointed out. "The only thing she failed to acknowledge is that equal opportunity doesn't exist – in an ideal world everyone should have a fair start."
Weighing In
"The problem with privilege is that the privileged are completely blind to how good they have it, and how much easier their road to success is," this Twitter user wrote. "I don't doubt that Molly-Mae has worked hard, but the door was opened for her – she didn't have to break it down. It's just ignorance."
Cue The Memes
Not everyone is thrilled by the amount of backlash that Hague has been receiving. As this user put it, "Is it just me that thinks it's not that deep what Molly-Mae said? The 24 hour memes are funny but the genuine hate she's getting just comes from people who are jealous and spiteful."
