The Traitors' Mollie 'staying off social media' and slams fans over cruel comments calling her 'stupid'

Mollie has received some backlash from The Traitors finale

The Traitors player Mollie Pearce has explained her decision to quit Instagram following a backlash from the show's season two final.

In the end it was Harry who became the show's sole winner, claiming the £95,000 prize pot for himself in a final episode where Evie, Andrew and Jaz were voted out and he revealed himself to be a Traitor to final Faithful Mollie.

It was one hell of a dramatic final, with the game going down to one final climactic vote after Jaz was sure Harry was a Traitor and decided to continue the game after Harry and Mollie wanted to end it.

Harry and Jaz were of course going to vote each other off, leaving Mollie with a very difficult choice after she'd become such good friends with Harry.

We the audience knew he was a Traitor from the start and Jaz had successfully sussed him out, but Mollie knew if she voted for Harry, he wouldn't be getting any of the prize money.

In the end she changed her vote, Jaz went out and with a Traitor left in the final two, it was Harry who won the game.

Since the final, Mollie has faced some backlash from viewers who wished she'd banished Harry instead, and told the Daily Mirror she was 'trying to stay off socials a little bit' as she expected things to be 'rough', though hoped it would pass in time.

Speaking to the Mirror, Mollie said: "I'm obviously new to all of that so I'm trying to process it and get my head around it and I'm kind of trying to stay off socials a little bit because I think today is going to be a bit rough.

"But yeah, I'm hoping that it will pass. I think it's very easy for the public to say that I was stupid and stuff like that but at the end of the day I'm 21 and I've got emotions - what could I do?

"I think people forget that you're human when they're watching it on TV, but we do all have feelings so people should be more cautious with their comments."

The Traitors ended in dramatic fashion.

While she appeared devastated with the reveal that Harry had been a Traitor all along, Mollie went on to tell the Mirror they patched things up.

She said she 'had quite a big laugh' with Harry after The Traitors was over, saying they were still 'good friends' and that someone was going to have to win at the end of the day.

She also confirmed that she wanted to use her time on The Traitors to raise awareness for her disability, as she is a disability model and healthcare assistant.

Mollie wants to further raise awareness 'for Crohns and colitis because it's affected my life so much'.

When she was 11, Mollie was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic condition that inflames the digestive system, and when she was 18 she had an operation to remove her colon.
