Molly-Mae Hague claims £800k robbery was ‘bad luck’ but says ‘things have only got worse since’
MOLLY-MAE Hague called her terrifying £800,000 home robbery “bad luck” – and said things have got even worse since it happened.
Thieves targeted Molly and boyfriend Tommy Fury’s plush Cheshire home in October, making away with a huge haul of jewellery and designer items.
The couple have beefed up security since, but the impact is still weighing heavily on Molly.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, she said: “I have this weird theory in life that everyone has their ultimate fair share of good and bad.
“I don’t know if it’s unhealthy to think this way, but when loads of good things happen to me in life, I kind of get a little bit fearful that something bad is around the corner.
“When loads of good things happen to me, this is too good to be true and something bad is definitely looming.”
Until the shock theft, Molly’s life was going from strength to strength, with a string of big money deals and a rapidly expanding career.
She continued: “I think I had such an incredible few months of my life – obviously with PLT creative director and I was going abroad constantly to shoot. In fact the last two years of my life have been a dream, so unbelievably incredible. So that’s how I kind of thought about it and rationalised it with the house break in.
“I kind of thought, okay it’s time for me and Tommy to have some bad luck and that was our bad luck – but since then it’s just been constant. It’s just been one thing after another and everyday I’ve been waking up thinking ‘surely something else can’t go wrong’ and I say to Tommy that it’s only up from here, things can only get better. But things have only got worse, which is so weird.”
The former Love Island runner-up is terrified about people finding out where she and Tommy now live after the raid.
Molly-Mae now has 24/7 security, doesn’t wear jewellery, and resists posting photos or videos of her “incredible” new home on social media, even though she’d love to take her followers on a tour.
She said: “I don’t want to change the way I live. I love sharing everything, but if it’s going to compromise my safety. I can’t. It’s not fair.
“I’m trying to work on this new balance of sharing, but not over sharing so that I make me and Tommy not safe any more.
“It’s finding this new way of living, and having close protection security now, and moving and making sure not even my nail tech so much as comes to my house. Because I can’t have anybody knowing where I live now – even Deliveroo, no, can’t, it’s just not possible, it’s just not safe.
“It takes one wrong person to know where you live.”
She continued on the The Diary of a CEO podcast: “It’s sad that at 22 years old you have to think that way.
“I actually have close protection security now – it’s 24/7. I don’t know if forever. It’s just mad having to put these precautions in place now.
“I don’t really wear my jewellery any more. What I have left of it I’m not wearing.
“It changed things for me. It took that superficialness away. It just made me realise actually these things aren’t really important. Your health, and your happiness, and your safety, safety is key.
“I’m spending a fortune now on security, but really there’s no price on feeling safe at all. I’d rather spend money on security than a handbag.”
