Are those mentions of untrue pregnancy insensitive to those who suffer with infertility?

I can understand if people are hurt, yet why is it okay for media outlets to joke about pregnancy but Arie can’t?

Simple answer: it’s not. Just ask Jennifer Aniston how much this kind of speculation has hurt her.

its really all how you view it personally. AS I stated earlier I have fertility issues and I accepted his apology as he stated it !!
Some people would not even bother to post any apology whatsoever

It's all a matter of opinion which we all have and ae entitled to!

@USAGold He actually apologized twice. One rather insincerely, IMO, and then another to try to improve on that. I personally think the post was stupid, but not intending to be mean. I do however think that with this post and the taping people working out and laughing at them, that Arie and Lauren both as a couple should consider hiring a SM manager for now.  This person can keep them relevant and the fans informed, but keep them for making "innocent or insensitive" mistakes.  Also they can focus on this rather quick wedding and making their new lives in AZ together. JMO.

Arie doesn't need a social media manager.  He just needs to stop paying attention to people bitching about every little thing. Can't please everyone and no reason to try. JMO.

I totally agree ..

IMO, if Arie and Lauren are trying to build a brand that provides them with a secure future income, they would do well to invest in a social media manager. It might prevent them from having to apologize in the first place. I agree that there was no ill will or bad intent in Arie's April Fools Day post. To me, it's more of an indication of them being tone deaf, and there may come a time when that does matter. I accept his apology, but I wish it came across to me as more sincere and heartfelt. I imagine both Arie and Lauren feel overly criticized and I chalked it up to that.

Yeah agreed, they should totally disappear and go live their lives away from media. They’re extraordinarily unlikeable and all their funny and relating to the little people attempts are sooo flat imo. So yes, absolutely, hope they go away.

Speaking of being offended, I am deeply offended that he chose the word effected instead of affected.

As long as they can handle sm negativity, I don’t think they should go away. Why? They have fans too. Some may find it stupid, but others find funny. Different strokes for different people. All Jmo.

Please may I second this? His first inclination to stay off Sm was the right gut call. Too bad he works on impulse instead imo.

Don’t forget Lauren’s “whose counting “ and not who’s counting.

Again, "Damned if they do, damned if they don't." IMO

"He should have known that joke was offensive."
"He should apologize."
"He didn't apologize properly."
"He shouldn't have used that wording for the apology."
"He didn't really mean the apology."
"He used an incorrect word in his apology."
"They need someone to write their script."

Sure looks to me like they can't win for loosing.
