With just over two weeks until her third baby was due, Weekend The Today Show co-host Deborah Knight received an email from a viewer calling her body ‘repulsive’.
The co-host took to share a part of the email which helpfully suggested she sit down if she must be on air:
Charming viewer email: “Deb great BUT don’t need to look at pregnant body. If you must have her on keep her sitting down. It looks repulsive

Deborah responded to the email on The Today Show, explaining that she was “quite surprised” by it (post continues after video):
Speaking to News.com.au, Deborah said she was “more disappointed than offended that someone would genuinely hold that view in a modern era.”
We wish Deborah all the best with the birth of her third child.
And Deborah? We think you look fantastic.

So how will this man cope if he gets married/is married and his wife looks like this around him for months! Will he be telling her every day how repulsive she is? Will he banish her to a remote corner of the house and locker her up in there. Or will he just suck it up and secretly think how repulsive she is but not have the guts to say it, and instead send nasty emails to strangers who are pregnant?
If he isn't straight or isn't in a relationship, how does he feel about his pregnant sister, or how does he feel knowing that his mother was once this "repulsive". And this gift to humanity wouldn't be here if his mother hadn't become "repulsive".
What a prize this guy must be! I pity any woman who may be involved with him.
I think she looked gorgeous! Does anyone know where this dress if from?
