Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague’s sister Zoe has issued a stark warning to fans to think twice about getting Botox after her eye was left partially paralysed
Influencer Molly-Mae Hague’s older sister, Zoe Rae, has confessed that she’s ‘in hiding’ after her recent Botox appointment went disastrously wrong.
Zoe, 27, who is an ex British Army Medical Corp turned social media star, took to her TikTok account to show off the results of her botched Botox as she warned fans they have a 1% chance of their eyelid drooping if they decided to get the anti-wrinkle injections.
After getting injections in her forehead and on her crows feet, Zoe woke up to a frightening realisation that it had gone horribly wrong when she could barely open one of her eyes and it felt heavy and drooped low down.
Zoe told her followers she was ‘hiding away from the world’ after fleeing to her mum’s home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Molly-Mae’s older sister insisted that she doesn’t want to be seen by anyone until her eye heals fully as she complained that she was in the 1% of people who suffer the incredibly rare side effects of Botox.
Appearing on camera in running gear, Zoe covered her eyes with a pair of sunglasses as she issued the stark warning to her huge fanbase. Zoe then lifted her sunglasses off her eyes and onto her head as she showcased the drastic damage that the Botox had done to her eyelid – as she confessed that she wasn’t able to open her eye fully.
“Guys, I’ve had to come to my mum’s for a few days because I’m hiding from the world. I am hiding from the world,” Zoe told her fans. “Why does this stuff happen to me? Seven days ago, actually eight days ago now, I had Botox.”
Zoe went on to reveal that she’s had Botox several times before – at least six times – and she has never had any side effects like the drooping eye she is currently dealing with. “I’ve had Botox maybe like six times in my life. I’ve had it here in my forehead, a tiny bit in my crow’s feet and a tiny bit on my frown line. There is a 1% chance of this happening but it’s happened to me.”
The YouTube star then shared her frustrations as she ranted: “Why me? My eye doesn’t open, my eyelid has dropped and I don’t want to be seen out in public. I think it wears off in like two to three weeks but guys, why me? This isn’t right. I actually do think the world’s worst luck when it comes to things like this, that’s why I just don’t bother.
“I don’t bother with my lips, don’t bother with my face, because it just always, always, always goes wrong. It wasn’t a risk that I was aware of, it wasn’t something that I knew could ever happen. If you’re thinking about getting Botox, there is a 1% chance that this could happen to you. It’s happened to me.”
Alongside the video, Zoe added the caption: “You can’t write it honestly. If you don’t laugh you’ll cry, thank God it wears off.” Zoe’s cosmetic disaster comes after her younger sister Molly-Mae revealed back in December that she was having Botox again after getting the filler in her face dissolved.
The former Love Island star, 25, opted for a more natural look in 2021, reversing the remains of her lip and jaw filler as well as having her gleaming white teeth “toned down”. However, she has since had a bit of Botox again, to address, what she calls, her “liney forehead”.
In a vlog posted in early December, Molly-Mae shared: “I want to be transparent about the fact I do sometimes get Botox. Because [bringing her forehead to the camera] literally just because of this situation here. It’s not even bad but I have always had … my Botox is still in there a bit … I’ve always had quite a liney forehead. So I literally just get a bit of Botox in my forehead so my makeup sits smoother.”
“Because I find when my lines come back, my make-up just goes so creased on my forehead and when I’m doing photoshoots and a lot of stuff on my face, I really like having a smooth forehead.”
The reality star gave birth to her first baby, Bambi, in 2023, who she shares with her former fiancé, Tommy Fury. Saying the little one had made her smile so much more in a sweet admission, the ‘ultimate influencer’ reckons that’s why she’s noticing more lines around her eyes.
She explained: “I think I might be getting a little bit of botox in my crows’ feet. Ever since having Bambi I just smile so much more, which is an amazing problem to have. Look – they never used to be there! I’m getting old, I’m getting old.”
