<\/a> Kristen Nicole<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the most beautiful women on Chicago television is claiming to be the victim of \u201cbody shaming\u201d after three viewers questioned what she\u2019s been wearing on the air during her pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32<\/a> encourages its on-air staffers to engage viewers on social media. So when three of those viewers (identified as \u201cKaren, Gene and Sabrina\u201d) sent snarky emails Wednesday to Kristen Nicole about how tight her dresses are, the \u201cGood Day Chicago\u201d news anchor seized the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you're writing to tell me that you're offended by the sight of my baby bump, don't hold your breath waiting for a response. It's not coming,\u201d Nicole wrote on her Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page. \u201cI wear this dress probably once a month. No one has EVER had a problem with it. Wear it almost 8 months pregnant?? Whoa . . . disgusting, right? (insert massive eye roll).\u201d<\/p>\n

The post featured pictures of Nicole wearing the same dress three times this year, including once this week.<\/p>\n

Nicole\u2019s reply prompted hundreds of supportive comments and more than 1,800 \u201clikes\u201d on Facebook. It also led to a story on Yahoo! Style, <\/a>headlined: \u201cPregnant newscaster responds to viewers offended by her tight dress: 'Use your time better.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Fox 32 seemed eager to draw even more attention to the matter, posting on Facebook: <\/a>\u201cBody shaming continues to be rampant on social media and it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, you too can become a target. Fox 32's Kristen Nicole, a mom of one and expecting another, was recently on the receiving end of nasty comments. The focus, over her pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, Nicole was interviewed <\/a>on set by \u201cGood Day Chicago\u201d colleagues Corey McPherrin and Anita Padilla about how her \u201cbody shaming experience\u201d had become a big issue. (Watch the video here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u201cI just hope that maybe some other woman who\u2019s going through this as well sees there are people that are supporting you, and this is not the 1960s where you needed to hide or be ashamed of your pregnancy,\u201d Nicole said. \u201cI appreciate so many people laughing with me, and their continued support and encouragement.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
