Heidi Klum has faced huge backlash following her "tone deaf" April Fools' Day prank which many fans found "offensive".
The America's Got Talent judge, 49, participated in the prank alongside her fellow judges but ended up facing a huge fallout rather than laughs.
In an effort to prank their followers, the panel pretended Heidi was pregnant.
Howie Mandel posted a photo of the German model who was pulling up her shirt to reveal a 'baby bump' while Sofia Vergara lent down to kiss her stomach.
The outdated prank was captioned: "Congratulations. @heidiklum Co-workers @sofiavergara and I are the first know. #agt."
Heidi was wearing an all black outfit with her belly poking out and topped the look off with a pair of slippers.
Sofia, who wore a black robe and slippers, reposted the photo to her account saying: "I'm going to be an aunt."
Howie also showed off his tummy with Heidi pretending to kiss it, who's bump was no longer there confirming she isn't really pregnant.
"From me to you: Congratulations," she wrote, along with an April Fools' sticker.
The joke left a sour taste in many fans' mouths as they took to the comment section to share their feelings.
"Excuse me, its 2023… This isn't funny for sooo many human beings…." wrote a fan.
Another added: "NOT FUNNY - goodbye!"
" Pregnancy jokes aren't really funny anymore," said someone else.
One fan explained: "I love Heidi and if she is really pregnant, then I'm so happy for her and Tom!!!! If that's just an April joke then you should stop, cause so many women like me couldn't get pregnant and such jokes are like a hit in the face!!!"
"This was done in poor taste," quipped another.
"Being pregnant isn't a funny April fools joke. So many women suffer from infertility. This is tone deaf!" said a fan.
Supermodel Heidi is a mum to four children Leni, 18, Henry, 17, Johan, 16, and Lou, 13, and recently opened up about wanting more.
She confessed that her desire for another kid "depends" on the day, but she'd be open to explore options with her musician spouse Tom Kaulitz.
