‘SNL’ Star Cecily Strong Not Pregnant, Thinks ‘Cruel Peeps’ Are ‘Barfy’
Cecily Strong is not a fan of fat jokes … dishing them or receiving them, apparently.
The "Saturday Night Live" star is firing back at critics who speculated that she was pregnant over the weekend.
Oh also, Im not pregnant. But thanks for inquiring you cruel bully dickheads/the dumbest idiots ever who don't understand how life works.

The "Weekend Update" anchor was responding to a flurry of tweets after the Jan. 25 episode, which was hosted by Jonah Hill. A few examples that prompted her reply?

Either Cecily Strong is pregnant or she has an enemy in wardrobe. #SNL

There were similar tweets dating back to December; however, it was the most recent string of comments that prompted Strong, 29, to speak out.
Not fishing, just think its barfy how cruel peeps can be about people's looks. It's not funny unless Joan rivers writes the joke.

One twitter user, @MudPuppetRyan responded, asking: "so I guess you put up a fight about delivering that Chris Christie fat joke last night?"
"I actually am not a big fan of fat jokes. I come from Chicago. Most of the people I love are big. I'd rather tell dog jokes," Strong replied.
Similarly, @sarcasmUNVAIL asked: "Don't u think it's ignorant to play the victim card when u crushed a fat joke of ur own. P.S. you're not fat; just whiny now."
"I don't like fat jokes. I don't write them. I'm sorry you also don't understand underlying sexism. Smell ya, dummy," Cecily responded.
After a majority of overwhelmingly positive replies, Cecily went on to express she wasn't tweeting for compliments.
I truly dont need the compliments, I just thought I should finally say something. Because it's obnoxious to have to keep blocking

Yall's are nice, I just wanna make sure I'm not offending some young peeps with my foul language. My message will always stay jacked!

I just dont wanna mess up the important stuff (anti-bullying, dog praising) by dumb word choices. I wanna do better! In real life, too!

Strong certainly is one of the more outspoken "SNL" cast members, so we have a feeling this won't be her last Twitter tirade.
