Justin Bieber Under Fire for
April Fool's Pregnancy Prank On April 1, Bieber posted a photo of a
sonogram on Instagram indicating that
his wife, Hailey Bieber, was pregnant. He then doubled down on the prank
with a series of photos showing
Hailey holding her belly and
surrounded by a team of doctors. Justin finally came clean in a third post,
claiming it had all been an April Fool’s prank. However his joke was met with heavy
backlash, as many accused him of being
insensitive to those who struggle to conceive. A campaign launched by Main Line
Fertility prior to April Fool's day urged
people to not joke about pregnancy. About 12% of women in the United States
have difficulty getting or staying pregnant. Justin responded to the criticism
with a long post on Instagram,
apologizing for the prank. Justin Bieber, via Instagram
