In an interview with ET this summer, Tess hit back at critics who insist her weight is a danger to her unborn child, claiming that her doctor had just given her a clean bill of health.

Tess also discussed with the publication her decision to post nude photos on social media, despite the criticism she ultimately receives from online trolls.
‘The more they don’t want to see things like that or are criticizing my body, the more I want to do it,’ she said. ‘Since you are complaining about my covered-up photo, I am going to give you a nude photo to make you even angrier.
