I think good for her for saying what she really thinks in her release – right or wrong (and I think she’s right).

If you’re pregnant and something doesn’t go the way you wanted it, you get to be upset.

Besides, I get so tired of the “sanitized” press releases.

I’m wery happy for the family! A baby is so much fun! Good luck with the pregnancy!!

I’m not going to harp on her. I think she felt like sharing to one person thinking the people at the store wouldn’t be so quick to say anything about it. It was wrong of her to think that obviously, but it was also wrong of the store snoops to personally make a call and leak that information.

Drea could be mad for a number of reasons. Maybe she hadn’t told her/his family yet, maybe she wanted to keep it a surprise a little while longer but still wanted to see what was out there for baby clothes. There are a number of reasons. And another one could be that she felt like sharing with someone just to get it off her chest. And yes, she could’ve said she was shopping for someone else but then like it’s happened so many other times, it could’ve been cause for speculation, and that would’ve started a buzz going.

I think it was wrong, but you could go either way. It’s luck of the draw when it comes to things like this, and she talked to the wrong person.

Still, good luck to her and Shooter on the pregnancy!

Maybe she is upset because they hadn’t told their families yet? In my opinion, if she wanted to get some publicity she wouldn’t have sent out such a scathing statement – she could have easily done a Britney and played to the press until well into her pregnancy then announced it, or not even announced it at all. Obviously there is more at play than just people running their traps to a newspaper.

Madison: I am sure she didn’t make the annoucement because she wanted the publictiy. She obviously made it because she wanted the press to leave her alone. She has a right to want to enjoy her pregnancy in peace!

Oh yeah,. She really wants the publicy. She’s only comfirming what is already known. and Making it clear she won’t shop at that other place again.

I think the point is that the shop owners should respect people’s privacy if they want to keep their business running. Celeb or no, I would be pretty pissed if I went into a store and later found out that the shop owners were telling my tales to Page Six. We don’t know how many calls Drea’s PR people got from news organizations TODAY about this. It could have been zero and it could have been 100. Either way, she was well within her rights to respond to it as she sees fit since she was outed through no fault of her own. What if she was waiting to announce this info for personal reasons? It’s a shame that people can’t even relish in their personal joys in private for a minute before folks start running to the tabloids.

Ooooh. Snap!

I think it’s extremely rude for salespeople to gossip to the media about their clients. Pregnancy is a very personal thing. I’m currently 8 weeks along with my second and I sure wouldn’t want to be outed like that.

Ok, I can see the point about the stores respecting their celeb clients privacy. So then if she really didn’t want any publicity, why come out with such a statement today? She knew it would create a stir and be picked up everywhere. And the Page Six item was JUST printed today. It’s not like days/weeks have gone by, the press isn’t leaving her alone so she makes a statement just to try to get the whole thing to die down. She responded on the same day – please, she totally wants the publicity.

Ditto Mellisa and Jessica! It is not the store’s place to break her news for her.It is unprofessional and a really good way to lose business. As far as shopping online goes, it is a bit of a pain in some cases. Unless I have tried something on in the store, I will very rarely order most clothing online because I don’t want to have to send it back when it doesn’t fit.
