Pregnant celebrities can’t catch a break. Their bump is too small (Duchess Kate), or in Kate Hudson’s case, too big. After numerous outlets posted photos of the expectant actress in a yellow bikini on Tuesday, July 31, trolls quickly weighed in with hateful comments.
“Why not just cover it like most women in the world know to do. Who wants to see this?” wrote one person on Radar Online. Added another: “Her stomach is massive and it’s not beautiful to look at. Just because she is pregnant doesn’t make her body beautiful.”
A Daily Mail reader wrote: “I’ll never understand why any woman would want to be photographed looking like that.”
Though the Fabletics cofounder, 39, has yet to respond to the criticism, fans quickly came to her defense. As one noted: “It’s pretty rude to describe a pregnant woman’s bump as ‘massive.’ Why not use a more body positive term such as ‘beautiful bump?’”
Quipped another: “So many hateful, jealous judgmental people crawled out from their rocks today.”
The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress will welcome a baby girl with her boyfriend, Danny Fujikawa, this month, a source previously told Us Weekly. (The adorable couple recently returned to Los Angeles from a European babymoon!) While it is the musician’s first child, Hudson has sons, Ryder, 14, and Bingham, 6, from previous relationships with Chris Robinson and Matt Bellamy, respectively.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t appear that the star will quit sharing swimsuit snaps any time soon. On July 31, she shared a picture of herself on a boat celebrating a pal’s 30th birthday. In the image she has one hand on her perfect tummy!
