Moon bump obsession

Now I’m not sure if it is just my social media has gone this way or if others are also noticing it, but what is the obsession with celebrities apparently faking pregnancies. Over the last couple of days I have seen so many accused of using a moonbump and I don’t understand why, is it to just bully/put them down? It seems to be some big conspiracy that they all have faked being pregnant. In general life I’m confident nobody I know has faked their pregnancy so why is it suggested so many in the media have?

Because celebrities often use surrogates to keep their bodies in similar conditions to pre-pregnancy but don’t admit to this publicly due to the stigma of renting a woman for personal gain or so they can shill a ‘bounce back’ regimen once they’ve welcomed their child.

is there actual evidence of this though, celebrities often have access to surgeons/nutritionists/PTs/nanny’s so they seem to be in a very good place to have support to “bounce back”. If none celebrities think it’s inappropriate to use a surrogate why could celebrities have such different morals.
