Celebrities just can't take a break, and Tia Mowry isn't spared from hateful netizens. The actress was hounded with pregnancy queries -- but they really were directed at her weight.
She posted a photo of a fake pregnancy test meme with the words "Just fat" written on the area where results are shown, and she accompanied it with a the caption "FYI. For all the people who think I'm pregnant, I'm NOT, just enjoying life and eating and cooking some great food! Thanks." She then reiterates that asking if she's pregnant is a special form of body-shaming.
The 'Sister, Sister' star said to her haters in an interview with HuffPost Live that she's not pregnant and that she is 'just happy.' She also shares that she gained the extra 10-15 pounds for eating the delicious food she's been preparing on her own lifestyle show 'Tia Mowry at Home.' The 37-year-old actress also says that if she loses the weight -- then so be it. She is just enjoying life and she remains confident and happy with her body.
Prying eyes have also been critical about the '90s star's weight, and she shares that she's always confused as to why strangers would care so much about her figure. While this is the case, she calls for the public to be more supportive of each other online -- not just about body image, but for everything else.
Tia Mowry, however, doesn't hate the concept of being pregnant. After all, she already has a kid of her own! In an interview with Ebony, she shares that being an actual mother has helped her fulfill her role as Melanie Barnett on the said show better. She believes that it helps her take on the role with a certain level of authenticity that only experience can provide.
'Tia Mowry at Home' airs on the Cooking Channel.
