Lele Pons experienced two alarming falls during the gender reveal party for her baby with Guaynaa. She slipped on a pink liquid, raising concerns for her pregnancy. Fortunately, it was just a scare. However, the Venezuelan internet star, singer, and model had to visit a hospital the next day—not due to pregnancy issues, but because of the stress induced by online backlash following the gender reveal event.
In a conversation with journalist Javier Ceriani, Lele disclosed that while she is physically fine, her emotional well-being has taken a hit. "Physically, I'm doing great. Everything is calm and perfect. Two of the people who care for me during my hospital check-ups were there. It's more on the emotional side where I'm struggling," Lele shared.
She explained how being pregnant has made dealing with stress more challenging: "It's a bit harder when you're pregnant, something I've been learning—lots of stress, lots of stress. I went for a check-up the next day because I had an amazing night and returned home assured everything was fine. But the following day, when I opened social media, I encountered hate. It was different this time because I realized the baby would feel what I feel. So, I immediately thought I had to get checked again, to calm down, and seek help," the artist admitted.
Lele also mentioned drinking plenty of water to try and calm her nerves due to feeling extremely anxious: "The things people said were very harsh, and sometimes you believe everything because your hormones are all over the place." The harshest part for her was the accusation that she intentionally wanted to harm her baby.
"I was constantly surrounded by people who supported me because while I'm physically okay, being emotionally unwell is also a huge issue. People online think individuals like me don't notice anything, but we do. Many wonderful people have sent me incredible messages, and they don't realize the impact those messages have," she added.
What should have been an unforgettable moment for Lele Pons and Guaynaa, discovering they are expecting a girl, turned into a painful and stressful episode—not only due to Lele's dangerous falls but also because of the social media reactions triggered by the incident.
