Followers of The Voice judge were not impressed, and found the joke insensitive and "not funny". One user wrote: “This is not funny. For people who cannot conceive or have trouble conceiving or who have miscarried you should never joke about pretending to be pregnant and blasting it all over the world. I figured you would have more respect seeing you are a mother." [caption id="attachment_285617" align="alignnone" width="594"]

Another blasted:
“You think this is so funny. Have a care to women out there that are struggling with infertility. This is NOT an April Fool’s joke. This is some woman’s dream. I expected better from you.”
Another pointed out: "This sort of childish prank on April fool's day is so beneath you. This is the sort of stunt an 18 year old pulls for attention, not a beautiful woman. You are more clever, creative, and wittier than this. "
And:
"So many women struggle with infertility, including myself. It is not funny. I haven't been able to conceive for 7 years. I've been told by 4 different specialists, it will never happen. No IVF, No IUI, no injection works.
"You are the mother of gorgeous beautiful boys. You know how precious being a mother is. Please consider deleting this post. It's not funny. It's just insulting to your adult female fans.”
What do you think? Was this prank offensive? Or all in the name of fun?Explore more on these topics:
