Tori Spelling admits she’s NOT pregnant in lengthy post defending controversial April Fools Day snap after fans criticized tasteless prank

Tori Spelling set the record straight and admitted she is not pregnant in a lengthy post defending her controversial April Fools Day prank on Friday afternoon.

The 47-year-old actress initially posted a photo cradling her bare stomach with the simple ‘6’ caption, alluding to another child on the way as she has five kids with husband of 15-years Dean McDermott.

‘Every week, magazine and press outlets ask if I am pregnant. To set the record straight, I am not,’ she started her lengthy post sent to more than one million followers on Instagram.

Yikes: The 47-year-old actress initially posted a photo cradling her bare stomach with the simple ‘6’ caption, alluding to another child on the way as she has five kids with husband of 15-years Dean McDermott

Tori went on to write: The fact is, after my fifth baby, my body didn’t bounce back like it had before. That’s when the constant questions of ‘yet another’ pregnancy first began. Unless you’re in the public eye, it is hard to understand what it feels like to be body shamed so publicly. 

‘I feel like I have to constantly defend my body when instead, I should be honoring it for the miracle of life it game me five times.’

‘I know that pregnancy is an extreme blessing. And I would never intentionally poke fun at losing a child or not being able to carry one.’

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star admitted: ‘I myself have miscarried.’

Tori went on to detail how her post wasn’t meant to harm, but to turn the tables on those who have hurt her. 

‘For those of you that are hurt, I hear you. I love you. I welcome your stories and I will try my best to support you. please accept this as a virtual hug to my entire community. T xoxo.’ 

But the damage had already been done when she hit post yesterday morning as those who struggle with the myriad of issues surrounding pregnancy and fertility complications were hurt by her careless prank.

‘I really hope this is not a April Fools joke,’ one Instagram follower wrote. ‘Every year women have to be reminded that pretending to be pregnant as a joke is not funny and a big trigger for those who are struggling to conceive.’ 

‘Ahhhh another tone deaf April fools day joke. Get a clue @torispelling,’ one follower posted under the photo. 

‘She wouldn’t post this as a prank. It’s so insensitive to those with infertility issues. So I say congrats, @torispelling,’ another user wrote.
