'Weird': Internet erupts after Karoline Leavitt's apparent admission of pregnancy faux pas [View all]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's recent pregnancy disclosure led numerous observers to raise questions about whether or not she intentionally got lip injections knowing she was pregnant.

We recently reported that Leavitt, who's 28, is expecting her second child with her husband, Nick, who is 30 years her senior. But the internet was focused on the fact that Leavitt said her new baby is due in May, and tied that to a recent Vanity Fair close-up photoshoot in which Leavitt was shown with apparent injection marks around her lips.

One popular influencer, Jesus Freakin Congress wrote, "If Karoline Leavitt is due in May 2026, she was already pregnant when the Vanity Fair photos were taken. Which means she appears to have gotten cosmetic fillers while pregnant. And yet, this same administration is out here warning pregnant women not to take Tylenol? So to recap: elective cosmetic injectables are apparently fine, but over-the-counter pain relief is treated like a moral hazard. Interesting…"

Liberal commentator Brian Krassenstein also made a video about it, writing on Saturday, "Weird." "The crowd who doesn’t want to give newborns Hepatitis B shots are fine with putting their pregnancy in jeopardy using lip fillers," he added.
