*trigger warning: pregnancy prank*

Gwen Stefani pranked her Instagram followers with a fake pregnancy announcement, including an ultrasound photo. Someone tweeted a link of it to Blake Shelton, who apparently thought it was hysterical.

Gwen is officially on my shit list.

But does it explicitly say it was a joke? Just to play devils advocate.

So far no official denial that I've seen. But I'm pretty sure Blake would have responded with something more than "ha" of it were true.

Also, I just saw that this was previously discussed in the randoms thread. My bad.

That's what I get for only reading the FFFC today.

The sonogram looked like one from pretty far along in a pregnancy, so I'm voting fake. Her wardrobe isn't designed for hiding a bump.

So, in short, fuck her.

Oh I'm torn. I LOVE Gwen...

This is my first April fools day here on TCF. Before I today I didn't know that fake pregnancy announcements were a big thing on April fools day??? Also never knew that they were so upsetting.

Help me understand, because I see a fake pregnancy announcement as really weird and not funny at all. But I'm not upset or offended about it.

Are they so upsetting because in general pregnancy announcements are just difficult so its like they are jerking you around?

I am really just asking because I want to better understand people's perspectives and experiences

For me, it's about lying. We've been trying for two years and we just had a loss, so I'm squarely in both loss and infertility camps. I can handle an announcement. I can even be happy for someone else. But if you're going to purposefully toy with my emotions for a cheap laugh, you're a fucker.

And, as you said, it's not even funny?????? I've never understood the "humor" in a fake pregnancy announcement. Being knocked up isn't inherently funny?????? And some people you've just pranked could be really disappointed you AREN'T pregnant. How many moms and dads and siblings want to be grandparents and aunts and uncles?

It's not just about protecting the feelers of the infertile or loss parents, it's just not a very funny joke at all and it actually pisses me off a lot.

Tl;dr It's trolling and who fucking likes being trolled?

After 31 months of trying to get pregnant, seeing a real pregnancy announcement is tough.. but to see a fake one? That's fucked up. The emotions I feel when I see a pregnancy announcement online is confusing. I'm happy for them, but become upset, it's a range. So to go through that range of emotions for a joke is terrible.

100% this. To those that are struggling with IF and/or loss, pregnancy most certainly isn't a joke. To see people treat it as such is upsetting.

It looks like she's already received some backlash from fans. www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/gwen-stefani-slammed-fake-pregnancy-7673665

@samrs22 I hope you know my rant wasn't directed at you and I hope I didn't make you feel like I was mad at you. I just have strong feels and it came out when I was trying to explain. D:

Same. I'd much rather someone ask me why it can be triggering rather than tell me I'm being sensitive.

Exactly. So, so, so, so much agreement.

Thank you for letting me know. I felt your emotions in that post, so I wanted to make sure to have a respectful response.

Even if your response doesn't come out perfectly, I think I can tell how much you're trying here. I appreciate that more than anything.

I've always loved her but this really bothers me, I can't believe she would make such a stupid decision. unless she really is pg and even so, still dumb

[cjchio]

Tbh, I didn't care for her and Blake Shelton. This just sealed the deal of.my dislike.

[mikaela20]

Yep, hate her now for this crap.

I had 2 on my Facebook feed and it took everything in my to not comment "fuck you". One of them, she "pranked" her young kids with it and recorded it. My FB friend list is dwindling down.

The insensitive things people do or say no longer surprise me and that makes me a bit sad.

It's such a fucked yo prank to begin with, but doing it to your kids too? Like my nephew would kill for a sibling. That would seriously upset him so much. Last year a "friend" did the prank and used her daughter for it, she held up a big sister sign. I was so mad and I felt bad for her daughter because I know she wants a sibling. Now that I've experienced a loss it makes me even more mad.

Fuck Gwen. I was indifferent on her before, but now I hate her

There has been so many rumors swirling around about them being KU as soon as there was even smoke about them dating. I'm guessing she was trying to give people a taste of the own medicine? Idk. Not justifying it at all. It's a gross "prank" and with the reach of her audience she should truly know better. I'm disappointed.
