A news anchor in Georgia, has received a nasty voicemail from a viewer telling her that her baby bump makes her looks "disgusting."
Laura Warren of WRDW-TV was checking a tip hotline when she received a voicemail telling her that her clothes were too tight and that she was gettingtoo big for TV.
"Please go to Target and buy some decent maternity clothes so you don't walk around looking like you got a watermelon strapped under your too tight outfits," the caller stated.
"Target's got a great line of maternity clothes in case you've never heard of such a thing. You're getting to where you're being disgusting on the TV."
Warren then posted the message on her blog to showcase the incident and explained that having a job in the limelight during one of the most emotional times of her life was hard enough without the added criticism.
Warren wrote: "Most days, nothing would please me more than staying in my stretchy maternity yoga pants, not a hint of makeup on my face, a bucket of fried chicken in my lap ... but, I picked a career that doesn't exactly allow for that. There are no 'ponytail' days."
Warren then went on to express her concerns about the bullying culture in society and suggested that those targetted should fight back with kindness.
"I think instead of letting this lady get me down, I'm just going to turn her negative energy into positive energy. I'm going to say as many nice things as I can to as many people as I can, and I'm going to do it in a dress that fits these beautiful new curves with my 'watermelon' stomach showing."
