It's just awful, right? But calling out a pregnant woman for growing actual life in her uterus is a whole new level of despicable. Body-shaming newscasters sadly happens all the time, whether it's because some prude can't stand looking at a woman's shoulders while she reports the news, forcing her producers to hand her a sweater on live television, or a woman's " horrid gut and huge arms" are somehow so distracting a viewer who can't focus on the weather. As the saying goes, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all." ![]() Ours wrote, "We as women should be supporting each other not putting each other down. She wrote that the most discouraging thing about the comments is that they often come from women, who are emboldened to say whatever they want about a woman's size or body, which is absurd. Ours later took to her own Facebook page to share her experience. Ours clapped back and told her to stop body-shaming a pregnant woman and reminded the woman that she should be lifting women up instead of bringing them down. The woman then wrote back that she would have to know what size the first one was, so as to send a larger one.

Ours responded to the comment on the network's page, telling the woman that there was nothing wrong with her dress but that she should feel free to send her some more options. Mary Ours is a meteorologist for a western Pennsylvania ABC News affiliate. This week, another pregnant newscaster was body shamed for having a bump on air, which is the most ridiculous thing of all. Sometimes it's so discouraging to realize that there are women out there who love to tear other women down, as if life weren't already hard enough.
