Long after the birth of Blue Ivy Carter disproved all the fake pregnancy rumors, her mother Beyonce now calls those same rumors ‘crazy’ and ‘stupid.’

Gossip Cop reported that Beyonce confides, “It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy. Where did they come up with this?” Beyonce remembers herself recalling for People.

Gossip Cop repeatedly reported earlier that MediaTakeOut cooked up the rumor that Beyonce Knowles was faking her pregnancy. MediaTakeOut posted a series of articles purporting that Beyonce wore a fake baby bump to the Video Music Awards, hid a sack of potatoes under her clothes, and even donned prosthetic breasts to make herself appear pregnant.

Beyonce didn’t give time to the MTO-spawned rumors. “There was so much love and well wishes from all over the world — it made it easier to deal with the stupid rumors,” she tells People.

The fake pregnancy rumors also affected Beyonce’s mother, fashion designer Tina Knowles.

“I thought it was very unfair and very cruel,” Tina Knowles shares with People. “As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”

Beyonce is now the proud mother -and Tina Knowles the equally happy grandmother- of January baby Blue Ivy Carter.
