Anne Hathaway, 43, faces online backlash after some trolls claimed her pregnancy bump was “fake,” following her appearance in a “ridiculous” maternity outfit. A doctor quoted by outlets says the accusation is not supported and points to a medical reason the bump can look pronounced.
The doctor explains that people can display a more prominent abdominal shape due to factors such as strong abdominal muscles and individual body structure. As a result, a pregnancy bump may appear larger or more defined in photos and on camera, even without any attempt at deception.
Across the coverage, the focus stays on debunking the “fake pregnancy” narrative and clarifying how normal physiological variation can affect how a maternity look is perceived. The outlets do not present evidence of wrongdoing, instead attributing the visual impression to anatomy and clothing fit.
