In February 2018, Hagen gained attention for calling for Cancer Research UK to pull their campaign that highlights obesity as the second most common cause of cancer. After directing angry comments towards the cancer charity on Twitter, she described the campaign as "fat shaming" and said that there was proof that dieting is more dangerous than obesity.
