James Charles is going viral after cradling a baby bump for his viral photoshoot recently.
Without a doubt, the lockdown makes us do plenty of crazy stunts. But we’re pretty sure you didn’t go to the extremes of star YouTuber James Charles.
According to media reports, the famous celeb carried out a faux pregnancy photoshoot, where he was seen cradling his prosthetic baby bump. However, not everyone approved of the idea, especially Twitter viewers. They were quick to call out the star for being insensitive on the matter.
Taking to social media, the star clicked photos of himself, completely naked, using one hand to cradle his fake baby bump. He then uploaded the images on his social media account with a bizarre caption, ‘Surprise… new video out now.’
As you can probably imagine, the picture was actually supposed to be a promotional stunt, right before his new video’s release, titled ’24 hours being pregnant.
’ Here, the star underwent an array of challenges as well as tasks to witness whether or not he was strong enough to actually bear the struggles that come alongside pregnancy for 24 hours straight.
Without a doubt, the photoshoot sparked a great deal of confusion with the stars’ posts receiving so much backlash regarding his decision to fake pregnancy. Some went as far as calling him out for being so insensitive to women who bear children as well as those who cannot.
Comments such as, “To pretend to be pregnant when there are already women who cannot,” and “I’m sorry but James Charles and his team really filmed that shit and didn’t see anything wrong with it?” was a common sight to witness.
Others went on questioning the star’s sanity and age for performing such a ‘low level’ stunt in the first place. “So gross, disrespectful, and insensitive” mentioned another Twitter user.
Clearly, pregnancy jokes aren’t welcome and this one is going to take James Charles fans’ a while to forget.
