Faking a Pregnancy? Seriously?!

If I read one more headline about Beyonce faking her pregnancy I am going to scream.  I am actually a Beyonce fan so when she rubbed her little baby bump at the VMA's I was happy for her and Jay-Z.  I could not understand why Kanye West was chessin' like he had something to do with the conception but that is another story. I did think people were going a bit overboard about the whole thing but I understood because not only is she famous but her husband is as well.   

But for the life of me I can't imagine what started these stories about her pregnancy being fake and why so many people are buying into it.  First of all I would hate to think that grown a$$ Beyonce would pull a stunt like that for publicity.  She is richer than rich and so is her husband.  She has a huge fan base. And she is very talented.  What can she possibly benefit from lying about carrying a child?

Let's imagine for a second that it was a lie and Beyonce was actually not pregnant.  Can you imagine how angry and disappointed her fans would be.  At least I know I would feel that way.  I mean I don't know the woman at all but I respect her body of work and her talent and I would at least expect her to be honest about something as serious as carrying a child.

I think it's sad that people think so little of her.  I also think it's sad that a successful, married, black couple is starting a family and so many media outlets find it necessary to start all these rumors about it being a stunt. I know they are celebraties and they sign up for the scrutiny but they are human.  As a mother I know I would be so hurt if anyone ever thought I faked a pregnancy.  Becoming pregant is a struggle for so many women and for those that do become pregnant, many suffer a miscarriage.  To lie about bringing a child into the world is unforgiveable in my book and I can't see why Beyonce would do that.

I wish her and her husband all the joys of parenthood.  I hope she has a smooth pregnancy and a healthy, happy child. I'm wishing you the best, B.
