Maisie Smith and Max George under fire over pregnancy prank as some fans fail to see the funny side
MAISIE Smith and Max George have come under fire after pulling a pregnancy prank.
The loved-up couple teased their followers with some “really exciting news” as Maisie, 21, held her stomach – before revealing she had in fact eaten a five course meal.
The ‘joke’ didn’t go down with many fans though, who branded it “disgraceful” to make light of pregnancy when so many people have suffered miscarriage or have been unable to conceive.
One person raged: “I used to like these 2 but not now. Pregnancy is NOT something to be Joked about. There’s people out there that would love to be Parents that would give anything to have a Baby and for whatever reason they can’t. So inconsiderate ,, Shameful.”
Another upset person wrote: “Pregnancy is not something to joke about when there are so many people that suffer everyday because they can’t have children x”
“I love Maisie but as someone who can’t have kids this really hits hard. Pregnancy is no joke to people who can’t have kids,” commented someone else.
While someone else said: “That is sad when people are losing babies or cannot conceive pregnancy is not a joke.”
Others defended the pair, with one fan saying: “Wow she must have ate a months worth of food in a night lol because she really did look pregnant. Nobody can say anything nowadays without people getting offended does my head in especially when their offended on other people’s behalf, it was a joke which lasted a few mins, it’s not that deep.”
Maisie and Max, 34, are currently enjoying a holiday in Dubai after she finished her stint on Strictly Ballroom.
The couple, who have been forced to defend their age gap in the past, got together last summer as romance blossomed after meeting on the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
