Just like the reality show Love Island that made her famous, Molly-Mae Hague's moves tend to polarize observers.
That certainly holds true with the public's reaction to a snapshot of her private jet journey to Disneyland Paris, which she shared on her Instagram account.
"Soaking up the last moments of just us," she captioned the post in reference to her pregnancy and growing family.
Of course, when you share the moment with everyone, you've got to be prepared for what's next. In this case, many people were unhappy with this highly polluting form of travel.
"I get it it's nice with private jet…but maybe think of the future a bit," one user remarked.
Throughout the comments, there were similar concerns about the long-term impacts of private jets.
Get cost-effective air conditioning in less than an hour without expensive electrical work The Merino Mono is a heating and cooling system designed for the rooms traditional HVAC can't reach. The streamlined design eliminates clunky outdoor units, installs in under an hour, and plugs into a standard 120V outlet — no expensive electrical upgrades required. And while a traditional “mini-split” system can get pricey fast, the Merino Mono comes with a flat-rate price — with hardware and professional installation included. |
According to Carbon Market Watch, private jet flights release five to 14 times more carbon dioxide pollution than commercial flights, meaning they disproportionately contribute to rising global temperatures.
A lot of observers were especially irked by the environmentally friendly steps they were taking in comparison, such as recycling waste or using reusable products like metal straws. What good was all that effort if it could all be undone by the irresponsible actions of others?
The Irish Sun noted that this isn't the first time Hague's travel decisions have sparked a reaction. Apparently, Hague does hear the criticism. In 2024, she said she flew to her sister's bachelorette party on budget airline Ryanair in response to the heat she was getting.
In that instance, she actually got some criticism for not treating her sister to a private flight, which goes to show it's hard to win with the public. In this case, though, some did defend Hague's decision.
