Molly Mae hits back at trolls who slam her for ‘dangerous parenting’ after Dubai holiday with Bambi and Tommy
MOLLY Mae has hit back at trolls who blasted her parenting during her holidays to the Maldives and Dubai.
The Love Island legend rarely addresses the abuse she receives as she shares glimpses of her life online.
She recently returned from her getaway with 11 month old daughter Bambi and boyfriend Tommy Fury, and posted a round-up of the trip, which she said was their first holiday without her family accompanying them to help out with Bambi.
And Molly, 24, revealed she came under fire from some fans when she shared photos of their vacation on Instagram.
She said the sweet pictures provoked fans to mum-shame her as she said she received messages from people furious that she hadn't put a hat on Bambi to prevent sunburn.
In her first Vlog of 2024, Molly and Tommy could be seen relaxing by their hotel pool with the tot.

And Molly explained: "I will add so many comments I get about, 'you don't put a sun hat on Bambi, you don't put a hat on her, you expose her to the sun.'
"I'd like to know, how any mother is putting a hat on their 11 month old? I physically don't understand it.
"Even one with a string underneath or like a tie. She will get so upset when I put one on her, and just cry and cry and cry until I take it off.
"So yes this trip we have experienced the hat tantrums."
In the same video, Molly candidly opened up about feeling like she was failing as a mum last year.
The influencer admitted that previously she could not go away on her own with her daughter and needed her family with her to help out.
After uploading a YouTube video of her trip to the Maldives and Dubai, she explained: "You guys will know that we've just been in the Maldives.
"That trip was meant to be a romantic getaway for Tommy and I over New Year.
"On Christmas Eve Tommy and I decided we didn't want to leave Bambi we felt horrible that we wouldn't be with her for New Years.
"I had one day to get all her stuff ready. We got on the flight and I was so apprehensive ... we've done Barbados with Bambi but my whole family was there to help."
The star added: "I was like, 'how am I going to navigate this?
"I was really doubting myself as a mum."
She said she had considered cancelling the trip altogether but would have lost thousands.
"We couldn't get a refund," she admitted.

"So the mum that a week ago was really doubting herself, a week ago, that mum is long gone and we are joining you now from our extended trip and we've had such a good time we decided to stay away even longer.
"I'm so proud of us, Tommy and I have been such an incredible team. I feel like we've smashed this trip in terms of parenting. She's been an absolute dream."
