We are gathered here today to put an end to this nonsense.
Ciara and Russell Wilson are expecting their first child together. On Tuesday, Ciara posted a special photo on Instagram to share the news with fans that she and her new husband are expecting a new baby. But — according to trolls on twitter — she should be ashamed of herself for getting pregnant so soon after her July wedding.
There's another element to the Ciara baby backlash: her ex, Future. Some fans are dragging him into Ciara's happiness, suggesting that her marriage and pregnancy are all a part of her extended effort to get back at the rapper she has a 2-year-old son with.
Online, Ciara fans swerved criticism of the "1, 2 Step " singer, by reminding trolls that Ciara's life has nothing to do with her ex.

I'm going to pray for the females calling Ciara a hoe for being pregnant by her husband. May God restore wisdom and fathers in your life

Ciara is the definition of the bounce back queen after a bad breakup. Found a good man, got married, and now she's having a baby.

But she's married?

That's what a "hoe" is to y'all? pic.twitter.com/G8LOZqynvz
"Ciara only got pregnant to show up Future!"

No, boo boo. She's moved on w/ her life. You're still wearing your ex's holey gym shorts tho.🙃
Ciara left a man who raps about codeine for a man who'll watch Golden Girl reruns with her. Amen, amen.

No matter who you're a fan of, slut-shaming Ciara for any reason (let alone choosing to have a baby with her husband) is senseless. The woman is enjoying her newest goodies: her happy family.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
