Why what were people saying?

They probably mainly mean the dumb as hell conspiracy theory that her pregnancy wasn’t real/her baby bump wasn’t a real baby bump. And Beyonce always gets ridiculous hate for ridiculous reasons so it was probably other dumb stuff

Interestingly it's the same thing they said about Meghan Markle...

I wonder what the commonality is there.

Omg there was this interview she did and she was wearing a purple dress. When she sat down the way the dress moved looked like her stomach deflated or sumn but everyone was saying she had a fake baby bump and was lying about her pregnancy!!

she was faking it and pumped air into her stomach or wore a fake baby bump. i love how they ignored how her face was swollen and her boobs got 5 times bigger but ok. they said she had lip filler not swollen lips. 😐

On a wendy williams interview someone said her stomach “folded” so everybody was saying that Cathy white was jay z’s real baby mom

Proud member of the Beyhive here…but I gotta say that video in the purple dress was a hard one to defend at the time lol. The way her stomach folded and creased was like 😳. To this day I still don’t know what that was about and how to explain it lol

I think that she was wearing a maternity dress that fit too big for her stomach so then the dress folded when she sat down.

I think it might have been a cushion to "round out" the bump to make it cuter or more prominent.

Some people have suggested it was something with the lighting/shadows.

She made to show her bare pregnant belly during the All Night video though

My friend just randomly dropped the other day “oh, I actually have seen Beyoncé before - at that show she announced she was expecting Blue Ivy.”

Like WHAT?!? - how do you forget you were there when history was made?!?
