    "This is why I stay off Twitter."

    Greek philosopher Socrates once posited that you "can't believe everything you see on the internet," and it is this quote that I wish to evoke when discussing today's topic at hand: Zendaya pregnancy rumors.

    As with much speculation that sets the internet aflame, it's not entirely clear where the rumor started. Some pointed to prank TikToks:

    The next bit is "You just got #krissed," which is basically Gen Z's way of rickrolling.

    Others, to tweets:

    Either way, it was a lot!

    Well, one person who seemingly did not care for these random rumors was Zendaya herself. "See now, this is why I stay off Twitter," she wrote on her Instagram story. "Just making stuff up for no reason...weekly."

    “Anyway, back to filming,” she added, giving a plug for her upcoming tennis romance movie, Challengers.

    Side note: Challengers has Zendaya play a tennis coach whose husband has to compete against one of her exes, and it sounds juicy as hell. 

    It's worth noting how harmful pregnancy speculation can be, especially as we don't know most folks' personal journeys with fertility — and it can often swiftly veer into body-shaming territory.
