Those who have a career which involves being on camera in any capacity quickly become accustomed to negative comments about their appearance, especially in an age where the internet has made anything and everything accessible to people from around the world, and social media has made it easier than ever to judge others from the anonymity of your own computer.<\/p>\n
Indeed, this sort of scrutiny comes with the territory if you\u2019re a journalist like Kristen Nicole. However, she was still left floored when viewers complained about her baby bump. The \u201cGood Day Chicago\u201d news anchor, already a mother-of-one, was expecting another bundle of joy when viewers got in touch with her news station to complain that she was showing her baby bump.You would think that a successful working mom is deserving of praise, especially when she is still coming to work during the home stretch of a pregnancy, but some people always seem to have something negative to say.<\/p>\n
Kristen was seated behind a news desk wearing a form-fitting blue dress when viewers began complaining, according to AOL. But, she shut down the shade right away with a Facebook post, saying she wears the dress once per month and has no intention of stopping now just because of a few nay-sayers.\u201cLET ME SAVE YOU SOME TROUBLE,\u201d the news anchor wrote. \u201cMy email address is ***, but if you\u2019re writing to tell me that you\u2019re offended by the sight of my baby bump, don\u2019t hold your breath waiting for a response. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s not coming. I wear this dress probably once a month. No one has EVER had a problem with it. Wear it almost 8 months pregnant? Woah\u2026disgusting, right? (insert massive eye roll).\u201cTo Karen, Gene and Sabrina who wrote to me today, use your time better,\u201d the journalist urged. \u201cPay someone a compliment. Do a good deed. To everyone else who has sent messages of congratulations and well wishes,\u201d Nicole added. \u201cYou are keeping me motivated through these last 6 weeks. We\u2019re finally in the home stretch! <\/p>\n
I have had a healthy, comfortable, stress free pregnancy. My husband, son and I are beyond excited to meet our new addition. Thank you for being a part of our journey!\u201d<\/p>\n
Apparently, the anchor received three emails from three separate people \u2014 Karen, Gene, and Sabrina \u2014 all complaining that she had allowed her baby bump to show in the form-fitting blue dress. One of the women even accused Kristen of wearing a fake baby bump to give her ratings a boost. Another critic complained that she didn\u2019t dress in more standard maternity wear.<\/p>\n
