Irish Twitch streamer Rebecca ‘JustaMinx’ had recently shared a post on Twitter that caught the eyes of several users. The post comprised of a picture of some pregnancy kits that showed that the test results are positive, which led many people to believe that the streamer was pregnant.
The post titled ‘not feeling very jolly this Christmas’ got more than 100K reactions and close to 10 million views, as people were congratulating the streamer who will now be embracing maternity. However, things took a different turn when some users found that the picture was actually taken from Google.
This enraged a lot of people who claimed that faking pregnancy just to get more likes on the platform, is one of the most craziest thing someone can ever do. Others were critical of the streamer of she can joke on such a grave matter, when some females who are infertile, aren’t able to become mothers.
JustaMinx confirmed that it was indeed a joke but people are making too much fuss on this matter. She replied to a user stating, “Hey babes, it’s a joke, I’m literally infertile because of my epileptic meds, just block me and move on,” lashing out at her critics, that she understands the sentiments of infertile women.
