What she said was insensitive. She makes it clear time and time again how unaware of her privilege she is.I think she's joking lol
I also just watched her stories there and the person being raging at her for the renting comment. Lol it is a waste of time to rent everyone is so offended by everything she says or does
Do we know what she was doing at 17/18 to be able to do that before we cast judgement (not trying to be sassy I just genuinely don't know what she did prior to love island?)What she said was insensitive. She makes it clear time and time again how unaware of her privilege she is.
Going on about how renting is a waste of money when she could afford to live just about anywhere she wants. Paying an extortionate amount to live in a run down house with a scam artist for a landlord because you have no other choice is not āwasting moneyā itās being underprivileged. Paying over Ā£3k to rent a luxury apartment is wasting money.
Talking about how proud she was to pay her own rent at 18, not even acknowledging the pure luck she had to have been in that position. Few people could afford that at 18 and she didnāt even have a full time job!
She got lucky at an early age, knows nothing about the real world and is too blindsided by privilege to care
She Said they haven't found something they're in love with yet and they like their flat so don't mind waiting despite not having to rentI do wonder why she doesnāt buy though if she thinks that renting is a waste of money. I mean she could easily afford a nice property in a nice area in manchester/cheshire. Maybe sheās saving up for a multi million pound mansion?! Surely she can afford a 1 mil house by now? I wonder if itās because she doesnāt want to take the plunge with Tommy and be tied to him forever.
not trying to go off topic again because Iām sure weāre all over it but I just caught up and I was more alarmed at filter being lazy and not just using their own content... in response to this in particular, fake tanning has been around for years.. way before social media or the kardashians were a thing. If tanning helps people feel better about themselves then so be it in my opinion.
I donāt think itās snobbery because for the most part renting in England at least is extortionate. Iāve always found rent abroad to be comparatively cheaper so it makes sense for people to rent there. I think it kind of is a british thing where you do eventually buy your own house and I think itās a good thing, weāre historically called a country of buyers rather than a country of renters (usually applied to like Italy/Spain I think).Brits are really obsessed with owning homes. I agree that if you have the money to comfortably buy a house, then that's a better investment. But renting isn't a waste of money if that's your only option. House ownership is just another status that makes young Brits feel bad about themselves. I have quite a few friends/colleagues in Germany and even those with great salaries don't care for buying. There isn't is the same level of snobbery towards renting over there. Having said that, I can't believe someone got uppity with Molly about it - it's not exactly a hot take!
I agree with Molly, renting IS a waste of money (before anyone starts Iāve been renting 8 years).I donāt think itās snobbery because for the most part renting in England at least is extortionate.

She said on her stories her and tommy have been looking for a house for a year so it takes time. Be interesting if they go half and half though. Maybe it would work as some kind of investment if their relationship didnāt work, who knows
Again... it's not insensitive to say renting is a waste of money lol.To everyone saying it's wrong to get offended from someone saying renting is dead money/a total waste.
That's the point. The state of the country means that so many people have no choice but to waste money on rent because the alternative is being homeless. And I can gurantee those people aren't living in properties like Molly's.
If she's that bothered about it she can afford to buy probably multiple properties.
It's like food shopping in Harrods then complaining to someone at the food bank how expensive food is. Insensitive at best.
I'm not saying that person was right to message her calling her "Miss Money Bags" but actually at the end of the day, yes, she is compared to the vast majority of people.
Something has gone massively wrong if in a wealthy and developed country it's just accepted that many people will never be able to afford to own property and will instead have to waste their money paying an overinflated figure to someone, just to live in a substandard property. Do we really not want better for ourselves and for others?
The reason its a waste is because once most of us retire our pension will only be a amall portion of our income while working.. therefore we wont afford rent. So by owning owns house prior to retirement we give ourselves a chance of a decent retirement. Dont know why she got abuse for that commemt!!I agree with Molly, renting IS a waste of money (before anyone starts Iāve been renting 8 years).
Youāre paying for a property you wont own, paying someone elseās mortgage and usually rent is ridiculously high.
Poor girl she isnt allowed an opinion on anything
because poc were oppressed, told their hair is ānappyā hair and unacceptable in society... along with having lighter skin to get a better job and bow down to white standards. So there is a history as to why. White people have never been oppressed by poc, white people have gone around the world and colonised. Forcing religion, culture and oppression on those. Hence why native Americans and Australians have been nearly wiped out. I could go into more depth but i shouldnt have to educate people when they can research easily for themselvescan someone start a thread on Black fishing because id actually realty like to discuss and try to understand it? And how is it not appropriating white culture when POC straighten their hair, lighten their skin, have blond highlights? but if a white girl tans and braids her hair she's told she appropriating culture?
but also how do you know that's what their trying to do?
