You may have heard the news that Courtney Stodden is pregnant with her first child.
But if you thought that would stop her from posting revealing pics of herself on Instagram, pfffft! Please!
Courtney is still gonna Courtney, and in her latest bikini pic, she’s showin’ how she’s growin’.
She captioned the pic with a message condemning the fat-shaming of pregnant women, which, sadly, is a thing. (See: Blac Chyna.)
“Stop fat shaming pregnant woman,” Courtney wrote. “Honestly. If our society thinks that it’s actually ok to say a pregnant woman is ‘fat’ there’s something seriously wrong with it.”
She included the hashtags #babyontheway and #picklecocktail, in case you’re wondering what she’s drinking.
The pregnancy news reportedly leaked last month after the child bride and husband Doug Hutchison sent a video to friends of Courtney getting the results of a home pregnancy test.
A few days later, Courtney confirmed the pregnancy, albeit reluctantly.
She said she hadn’t planned on making the announcement so soon, but went ahead after hearing about the leak.
“It’s a bittersweet time for me right now,” Stodden said. “I’m dealing with a lot of stress and emotions surrounding life and its ups and downs.”
“Doug and I weren’t planning on going public with this so soon.”
“I’m only four weeks along in my pregnancy. But some things are out of your control,” she added.
Shortly after breaking the news, Courtney revealed that she was suffering from depression.
We don’t know if it’s a longstanding problem, hormone-related or a condition stemming from the fact that she had her life taken away when she married a 50-year-old has-been actor when she was just 16.
Whatever the case, we do hope her spirits rise.
