(ThyBlackMan.com) Why can’t we let Bey-Bey bump be great?
When a baby is on the way, most mothers-to-be enjoy gifts from friends, extra help from family members and well-wishes from co-workers, associates and just about anyone they come in contact with. But for Beyoncé, pregnancy has also brought on the task of fighting off wild speculation and rumors about her and her child-to-be.
In case you missed it: Gossip bloggers are alleging that Beyoncé’s baby bump isn’t really a bump at all, but a prosthetic device being used to trick the public. It started with an overseas television interview earlier this month, in which 
Beyoncé’s dress billowed as she took a seat. Certain bloggers insist that her stomach “folded,” and are claiming the interview as proof that she’s wearing a belly made of foam.
As improbable as a fake baby bump is (her publicist has called the allegation “stupid, ridiculous and false“), the rumor has taken on a life of its own. Talk show host Wendy Williams and ABC News have given airtime to the speculation, and now, “bump truthers” (as the Washington Post is now calling them) seem more intent than ever on proving that Beyoncé is pulling a stunt.
But why?
It seems the joy over Beyoncé’s impending motherhood, announced last month during MTV’s Video Music Awards, has mutated into a strange and discomforting mix of cynicism and contempt. And it’s uncomfortable to watch.
