Love Island’s Maura Higgins savages Shaughna Phillips after she says Molly-Mae ‘has had success but not a lot of life’

thesun.co.uk:

LOVE Island star Maura Higgins has slammed Shaughna Phillips after she criticised Molly-Mae Hague's comments about poverty. The millionaire influencer, who found fame in the villa alongside boyfriend Tommy Fury, was branded 'tone deaf' yesterday as she insisted everyone had an equal chance in life to achieve success.

Shaughna appeared to characterise the comments in a tweet, writing: "If you're poor just don't be poor." Molly-Mae had said on The Diary Of A CEO podcast: "You’re given one life and it’s down to you what you do with it.

You can literally go in any direction. "When I’ve spoken about that in the past I have been slammed a little bit, with people saying 'it’s easy for you to say that because you’ve not grown up in poverty, so for you to sit there and say we all have the same 24 hours in a day is not correct.' "But, technically, what I’m saying is correct.

We do." Molly-Mae went on: "So I understand that we all have different backgrounds and we’re all raised in different ways and we do have different financial situations, but I do think if you want something enough, you can achieve it. "It just depends to what lengths you want to go to get where you want to be in the future.
