Tia Mowry doesn’t want to be asked about being pregnant anymore, because she’s not expecting her second child with husband Corey Hardrict. She has acknowledged she’s gained weight and thinks the constant scrutiny is comparable to body shaming.
During an appearance on HuffPost Live Mowry shared the negativity she often gets on her Instagram page.
"I am not pregnant, I am just happy,” she said. “I've gained these extra 10 [or] 15 pounds because of my cooking show. … I'm just enjoying life and when I want to drop the pounds, I will, but right now I'm happy with who I am.”
"But it is a form of body shaming, I will say that, and it's pretty unfortunate,” she continued. “We live in a society that is so obsessed with being perfect … why can't we just be us?"
Mowry has a cooking show on the Cooking Channel called Tia Mowry At Home.
