Ginger Zee Slams Pregnancy Speculation & Talks Battle With Anorexia

There was a lot of speculation recently pertaining to Ginger Zee, where the TV personality was inappropriately asked and speculated to be pregnant. Recently, on twitter, there a user asked Zee if she's expecting, to which Zee replied "Yes! I'm due in a month!!! So glad you asked. Just kidding—I'm not pregnant. That's called a woman who just went on 11 planes just last week, didn't work out, needs new Spanx and had two children. HAPPY TUESDAY!"

It all began with people marking how she 'she does look pregnant' and 'bumpy' where the user's comments were defended by some other social media users. But, "Proud of my UCA—my upper c section area—it birthed two babies. Perhaps it's highlighted in my satin dress today, but no, not pregnant," Zee shared.

Apart from these comments and Zee's savage reply, she took the opportunity to highlight and educate people on why you shouldn't ask anyone if they're pregnant, regardless of appearances. "Wish it didn't affect me but I'll probably be even harder on myself—anorexia is a difficult disease but I am recovered and these types of comments make me rely heavily on my therapy and self-confidence I've been working on for years," she said.

She told her supporters, "I wish I didn't have that seed of anorexia that still tells me lies—I'm constantly keeping it muted but this challenges me. Thank you for your support."

This isn't the first time the star's opened up about mental health issues. In 2017, she released the book Natural Disaster, in which she revealed she was checked into a mental health hospital just 10 days before she started her career at ABC.
