Tommy Fury’s recent revelations about his split from Molly-Mae Hague shift the narrative from scandal to personal struggle. Instead of focusing on cheating allegations, he candidly admitted that his battle with alcohol addiction was the true catalyst for their breakup.
This perspective highlights the often-overlooked challenges individuals face behind closed doors, particularly in the public eye.
Molly-Mae’s emotional announcement of their separation via Instagram resonated with many, as she expressed disbelief at the situation. Yet, Tommy’s insistence that infidelity was never a factor sheds light on the complexities of their relationship.
His struggles with alcohol, exacerbated by a hand injury that sidelined his boxing career, led him down a destructive path that ultimately affected his ability to be a supportive partner.
In his interview with Men’s Health UK, Tommy said;
“The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol,” he said clearly in a candid conversation with Men’s Health UK.
Talking about the coverage of their breakup, Tommy said: “In the news, my break up with Molly, you know there’s been so much sh– and so much cr– in the papers every single day for the past six months. I’ve done this, I’ve done that and it’s just like people don’t know the half of it. Moreover, Tommy’s comments about public perception underscore the harsh realities faced by celebrities. The relentless rumors and speculation surrounding their split only added pressure to an already challenging situation.
“If it’s not come from my mouth or Molly’s mouth, it’s complete and utter bull—-,” he asserted.
“All I’ve been seeing for the last six months is ‘cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater’, ‘oh he cheated, he slept with me’ ‘he slept with that girl’ – complete and utter b——-, and you can ask Molly herself!”
Talking about the impact of his addiction to alcohol he said: “I couldn’t be the partner I needed to be. It kills me to say it [but] it’s true, I couldn’t be.
“I loved a pint of beer, loved a drink and it is what it is. People go through different things in life and we all have our crosses to bear and I have mine to bear.”
Tommy explained that what he found hardest about his break up being so public was that people were so sure he had cheated, saying: “Not once did someone say, ‘he might be going through something serious, he might be in a bad spot’. Not one person said that.
“Cheating was never a thing – you can ask Molly – it was the drink.”
Tommy assured Men’s Health UK that he had got out of the cycle of drinking, feeling worse and drinking again, citing a change to his “mindset”.
Tommy’s journey towards recovery and self-awareness reflects a broader struggle many face with addiction. His honesty may encourage others to confront their issues openly, fostering a culture of support rather than judgment in times of personal crisis.
