Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.
The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”
It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”
On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.
On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.
The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”
The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”
Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.
Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”
The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.
Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.
Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media
