Liesl explained that she would block anyone posting comments hinting at pregnancy and encouraged others to do the same, emphasizing the need for respect and sensitivity toward women’s bodies.
“If you post any comment on my page alluding to pregnancy, I’m going to block you — and I hope other people also block people who [make] inappropriate comments.”
She clarified that her bloated tummy was due to her menstrual cycle, a common occurrence for women.
“As women, our bodies go through so much. So no, Jennifer, I’m not hiding my pregnancy or pregnant — I’m bloated because I’m on my period, because that’s what happens to women and you as a woman should understand that.”
Furthermore, Liesl advised those curious about someone’s pregnancy to wait for an official announcement rather than making assumptions.
