Amber Rose Infuriates Fans As She Promotes Weight-Loss Tea During Pregnancy

This April, the American model announced that she was expecting her second child, and the first with boyfriend Alexander Edwards, according to news outlet Metro. But recently, amidst the happy news of her pregnancy, she left her fans rather unimpressed after she took to her Instagram and posted an advert about a product, a ‘pregnancy tea’ to be precise, that helps in weight-loss.

In the snap, the 35-years-old Amber could be seen rocking a baby-bump, while she was wearing a black crop top paired with fluorescent pink pants. Rose held the Flat Tummy product in her hand and wrote in the caption-

“#ad Okay listen up @flattummyco just launched an Organic Pregnancy Tea to help us moms with those bloated, nauseous, blah feeling days! It’s safe to take while pregnant and breastfeeding. This is not a detox tea – it’s specially designed to help reduce occasional nausea and support digestion during pregnancy – haters stop riding the bandwagon and think for yourselves.”

“Seriously Just Stop”

But despite she mentioning the product is “safe to take while pregnant and breastfeeding,” looks like some of her fans didn’t like the idea. And comments raged the post, asking her to stop sharing such products. One user even pointed out on the post where Amber Rose stated that the tea helps moms with bloating, by writing “That bloating is called a baby…”

Another comment read: “A laxative tea for pregnant women? Girl, you do not need the money that bad. This is just wrong.”

And another wrote: “Come now amber I respect you and all that but I doubt this stuff good for a pregnant woman to take.” Similarly, someone wrote “I love you so much and I truly hope you researched this product (as well as the other “detox” teas celebs promote), the user stated, adding- “What you promote truly influences people. I would hate for a pregnant woman to buy this product and be hurt so you could get an easy check. Anyway, you look beautiful as always. I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.”

One user even pointed out that “The pressure that society places on women in general to have “perfect” bodies is absolute nonsense and should be illegal. And now we are placing those same pressures on pregnant people?”

Amber Rose is already a mother to her ex Wiz Khalifa’s son, Sebastian, who is six years old, and now he is about to get a little brother. According to Metro, the model had to deal with ‘severe sickness’ and was even hospitalized. If media reports are to be believed, Rose suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum. Last month on a social media rant, Rose lambasted them whom she believes are ‘toxic a** fake friends,’ and reportedly suggested, that her pregnancy made her realize who her friends are.
