Naya Rivera definitely has bad timing. During her rise to fame, the former "Glee" has been accused of copying Kim Kardashian's look and style - therefore, some fans found it a bit of a coincidence when the actress posted a semi-nude photo of herself on Instagram just hours after the reality star choose share her own semi-nude photo on Instagram.
Upset by the negative comments from Internet trolls, Rivera took to Twitter to defend posting her photo.
"I chose to share pregnancy photos because I think this is a very beautiful and special time in my life," Rivera tweeted in a series of posts. "Media outlets know that when you give your photos and an interview to run a story you never get a choice as to when it runs. So trying to make something out of nothing based on stupid assumptions is awful. Such a shame. Especially when it comes to a woman and her beautiful pregnancy journey."
Rivera also retweeted a supportive fan's posting, which reads, "@NayaRivera #Truth instead of creating non-existent drama the media should be celebrating all the beautiful soon-to-be mamas."
The 28-year-old actress was photographed for a feature in Yahoo! Style. The photos showed Rivera wearing a strategically placed fur coat as she cradled her growing baby bump and her long hair covered her breasts. Rivera posted another photo wearing a fitted black dress showing off her baby bump.
"Pregnancy is such a beautiful time to me, and I feel like you should embrace your body in whatever stage it's in. So it's kind of hard being an actress, being a celebrity, and having people scrutinize how you physically look, and just saying the craziest things," she told Yahoo about being pregnant in the public eye.
The actress, who is currently on her third semester, is expected to give birth later this year.
