Gypsy-Rose Blanchard hits back at trolls claiming she is faking pregnancy

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is fed up with trolls questioning the authenticity of her pregnancy and decides to hit back with a new baby bump photo.

The Lifetime reality star took to her boyfriend Ken Urker's Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 28, where she posted a photo of herself wearing jeans and a light gray pullover tank top, which she lifted up to show off her stomach.

“The haters will say this is AI,” she captioned the image, adding “23 weeks” with a red love heart emoji.

Blanchard's post comes after some social media users claimed she was faking her pregnancy. Trolls have left comments on Blanchard's Instagram posts, with many claiming she is lying about her pregnancy.

“What if this was one of those pregnancies you only have in your head?” wrote one commenter.

“Girrrrrl stooop play us you ain't pregooo,” said another.

“This is the fastest pregnancy ever,” another added.

However, others have come to Blanchard's defense. “I don't know how people can be so mean and hateful in her comments section when she's been through SO much!” wrote one commenter.

“It annoys me how hard people are on her. She has been through so much and deserves so much happiness. She will be a great mother,” said another.

Another added: “To all the people questioning their belly: some days I looked pregnant, some days I didn't. It also depends on how the baby lies. I think she looks beautiful!”

“I didn’t start my first show until about that point, 23-24 weeks. I wish people would give her a break. Plus, Gypsy looks sooooo good!” said another.

“For those seemingly out of sorts trying to say she’s not pregnant, social media posts can be anything from an hour ago, 24 hours ago, three months ago, and so on. You’re welcome,” another added.

Blanchard was released from prison back in December after serving seven years for her role in the 2016 murder of her mother, Dee Dee. Growing up, Blanchard was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a disorder in which a parent or guardian either fakes symptoms or creates real symptoms to make it appear that the child is sick.

Just three months after her release, Blanchard announced that she and her husband, Ryan Anderson, were divorcing. She has since rekindled her romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker and the couple announced their pregnancy back in July.
