90 Day Fiancé star Molly Brown’s had a lot of ups and downs in the public eye, and she may be the real reason why there’s so much drama. Does she wear the black hat? She might, based on how many feuds and scandals Molly’s been a part of. While everything could be everyone else’s fault, she’s probably the catalyst for a lot of upheaval.
Molly rose to fame during her 90 Day Fiancé season 5 appearance. She had a disastrous and doomed romance with a much-younger man, Luis Mendez. Molly went on90 Day: The Last Resort season 1 to try and resolve her issues with Kelly Brown, but they couldn’t get past their issues. They weren’t romantically involved when they appeared on the show, and the “relationship-saving” treatments offered in the tropical locale weren’t enough to bring them together. Now, Molly’s rumored to have a new boyfriend – “The Prison Kingpin.” He’s believed to be married, and if that’s true, that’s yet another shady decision that Molly might live to regret.
8. Is Molly Hopkins Really Dating Married Man “The Prison KingPin”?
Prison KingPin Allegedly Has A Criminal Record
Molly was rumored to be talking with another man while she filmed 90 Day: The Last Resort. Now, there’s a lot of chatter about her questionable relationship with a guy who calls himself, “The Prison Kingpin.” Did Molly go from the frying pan into the fire? Is she replacing one toxic and troubled romance with another? How well can things turn out if her new beau is married to someone else? While there’s no proof that this man has a wife, the gossip makes Molly look like a nasty person.
Kelly actually got acquainted with the “Prison Kingpin” at an Atlanta conference last year. The “Prison Kingpin” was at the event and got close to Molly while he was there. Reality TV show star Molly’s rumored new love interest allegedly has a criminal record due to drug trafficking offenses. He’s possibly done hard time.
This man sounds like the worst possible candidate for a healthy and stable relationship. If the information about a possible criminal record is accurate, he’s someone who’s sketchy (to say the least). The alleged charges that apparently landed him in prison are very serious. Molly may have a taste for bad boys, but this is going too far. Drug traffickers do a lot of damage in society.
7. Molly Hopkins May Have Been Arrested More Than Once
She Was Apprehended For Driving Under The Influence
In 2008, Molly was apprehended for weed possession. There are also reports that she got in trouble with the law years later, for a driving offense (changing lanes), going over the speed limit, and driving under the influence. While there’s no concrete proof that she was arrested following her 2008 issue, there’s evidence that she got busted again in 2016. She was stopped by the cops while driving in Georgia, and failed a sobriety test. After being convicted of that offense, she got jail time, as well as probation. While she only spent a few days in the slammer, she had to do probation and perform community service.
It’s possible that Molly’s been living with addiction. A lot of people do. If she has such issues, she may need help. What’s most important about living with addiction is not to put others at risk, so Molly should focus on only driving when she’s stone-cold sober. She may have learned from her mistakes, but her arrests are concerning. While she polishes her image online, via a host of self-promotional photos, videos and captions, what’s under the surface matters too.
6. Is Molly Hopkins Using Her Weight Loss Journey To Gain Clout?
Molly Promotes Herself Too Aggressively Online

Molly’s no stranger to self-promotion, and she may go too far with it, painting herself as someone so greedy that they’ll hawk almost anything to make a few bucks. Case in point is Plexus products. Some Sister Wives stars push these dietary supplements online, including Janelle Brown. However, every reality star who promotes Plexus gets shade. The company was actually penalized for marketing their products as a way to avoid the COVID-19 virus. This trumped-up advertising earned them a warning from the Federal Trade Commission.
While trying to make money doesn’t make her a villain, claiming that she lost a dramatic amount of weight by using Plexus products may be a villain move. It’s highly likely that she did other things as well, such as exercising and eating a healthy diet. In fact, she’s been shown working out in Instagram videos. By pushing Plexus products so aggressively, she’s possibly alienated some of her fans, as she’s chosen to turn off comments in the past. Right now, however, her comments are on.
Molly has said many positive things about her fitness journey but fans haven’t always responded in kind. Some have been harsh, as they were when they reacted to one of her Instagram posts from this January. One follower ripped her apart, saying:
“So it’s a starvation diet and it’s really expensive.”
Molly defended her products, but this type of criticism is everywhere online. Diet products are controversial. If they really worked as their marketing materials promise, everyone would be using them.
5. Molly Called The Cops On Her Daughter Olivia Hopkins
Molly & Olivia Just Can’t Get Along
Molly and her daughter Olivia have often clashed, and they once got into a full-fledged domestic dispute over a pair of Gucci boots. When the two females appeared in 90DF together, their relationship wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. They often disagreed and both are very strong-willed. During the argument over high-fashion footwear, they reverted to their usual troubled dynamic.
Molly alleged that Olivia was the aggressor in the incident. Tension surfaced because Olivia felt that a pair of Gucci boots belonged to her. Molly clearly disagreed. Acting a bit entitled, Olivia believed that she deserved the boots because her birthday present wasn’t good enough. This is the kind of logic that lands people on The Jerry Springer Show.
Gucci boots often cost thousands of dollars, so they aren’t exactly a typical birthday present. In light of the fact that Olivia reportedly got 20 bucks for her b-day, there’s no good reason for her to believe that the boots were hers. Why would she expect such a lavish gift? She tried to take the boots and Molly attempted to stop her. That’s when things went full “Jerry.”
Anyway, the cops came. Things did seem to get violent, with Olivia pushing Molly off a bed. Molly says her daughter also hit her. She thinks Olivia was intoxicated. This fight got nasty, but things are okay now. Sometimes people lose it, and then they rebuild their relationships. However, Molly’s fraught relationship with her daughter has led to so much drama. They don’t seem to be in sync too often. So, Molly may deserve some of the blame for that. In this scenario, Olivia seemed like a villain. However, she has her own version of events. Overall, the two have had a lot of problems.
Clashes between mothers and daughters are common. However, Molly and Olivia Hopkins have argued in ways that are very extreme.
4. Molly Hopkins May Have An Ego
Success May Have Gone To Molly Hopkins’ Head

Molly’s a strong person who may have a bit of an ego. She never shuns the spotlight. In fact, she demands it. While some people need a lot of attention, others prefer privacy. Molly appears to be a true extrovert who feels energized by social situations. However, she also seems like someone who wants to be number one. Molly’s clashes with other people show that she has a combative side. While she may have been physically attacked by her daughter, as she claimed, that’s not the only drama Molly’s had with other people.
By continuing to promote products online, even when she gets shade, Molly’s showing that she’s all about achieving her goals. She’s not super sensitive to what her fans want. She’ll just shut them off when they go too far. She doesn’t seem too emotional about the fact that she cuts people off, including her fans. Sometimes, it has to be done. However, her endless feuds paint her as someone who is a bit too comfortable with emotional turmoil.
Self-absorption isn’t uncommon among Instagram influencers. It’s more of an epidemic. However, who isn’t self-absorbed in some ways? The issue is that Molly takes it to a whole other level.
3. Molly Claimed Cynthia Decker Stole Money From LiviRae Lingerie
Molly’s Serious Allegations Ruined Her Friendship With Cynthia Decker
Molly and Cynthia were “besties” for years, and they appeared on Pillow Talk regularly. It was pretty shocking when their relationship fell apart. Sometimes, money matters can create tension between human beings. For example, couples often bail out of marriages due to financial pressures. Those kinds of issues can surface in friendships also. Molly alleged that Cynthia ripped her off by taking cash from their co-owned LiviRae Lingerie business.
The two did work out their problems via a settlement, whereby Cynthia sold her shares to Molly for $600,000. In exchange, she’d give up co-ownership of the business. That was a sad end to a friendship that once seemed mutually fulfilling. While Cynthia did agree to bow out of their business (she has competing businesses that Molly isn’t involved in), there are two sides to every story. Eventually, Cynthia sued Molly right back.
This is all pretty nasty. Was it really necessary? The chances of them reconciling are non-existent. Maybe this had to happen, but they chose an extreme solution to their conflict. A lot of people (especially people who watch Pillow Talk) probably wish the two still got along.
2. Molly Hopkins Can’t Maintain A Relationship
Molly May Want To Take A Break From Dating
TLC UK’s YouTube channel features a clip of Molly having serious doubts about Luis during their 90DF stint. She’s so over their relationship. He was way younger, he was from a different country, and really, there were so many challenges. Unfortunately, he wasn’t up to the challenge in any way. He didn’t try to get along with her children, he wasn’t sincere about his love for her, and he was out for herself. This toxic trio of problems led the couple to call it quits. Molly, a tough and no-nonsense businessperson, had a blind spot when it came to her younger partner. However, she eventually saw things clearly.
Molly benefited from her relationship with him as she became quite famous. The drama that played out onscreen made her an icon. So, even when the relationship failed, she had that to fall back on. Luis gets judged, but quite often, Molly causes problems in her relationships too. No one really calls her out for dating someone so much younger who didn’t come from a wealthy background. Sometimes, people from poorer countries seem to get exploited by their partners on the show. Someone poor is much more likely to get involved in an international relationship, as they want to escape from hardship. Does that make them “bad?” Maybe not.
1. Molly Hopkins Threw Kelly Brown Under The Bus
Molly’s Feelings For Kelly Weren’t Strong Enough
On 90 Day: The Last Resort, Molly seemingly tried to make things work with Kelly Brown, but was her heart really in it? Judging by the harsh things he said about her after they finally moved on, she threw him under the bus. Molly’s criticism was scathing – she called out Kelly’s, “unhealthy stressors, challenges, and odd aggressive behavior.”
When a person loves another person, they don’t usually go that low. The stuff she said was extremely damaging to his reputation, and it might not be true. It almost seems like she orchestrated a smear campaign for the purpose of making herself look blameless. The morality of doing that to someone else is sketchy. It’s better to have a little class when talking about other people, even if they’re exes. Molly needs to learn this lesson, and because she hasn’t, she may have turned into a 90 Day Fiancé monster.
