Briana Jungwirth, mother of Louis Tomlinson's baby, calls online abuse she had through pregnancy 'sickening'

Briana Jungwirth, the mother of Louis Tomlinson’s baby, has hit out at the poor treatment she received online during her pregnancy and still receives in her first few months as a new mother.

Jungwirth, a stylist from Los Angeles, gave birth to her and Tomlinson’s son Freddie in January. 

The two reportedly had a brief relationship last year and are no longer together. Since news broke of her pregnancy, she has been the target of online abuse including bizarre accusations by some One Direction fans that her pregnancy and baby were “faked”.

The latest slew of abuse came after Jungwirth shared a picture of herself with her son on Instagram on Tuesday, which some followers claim wasn’t genuine, reports the Mirror.

She has since made her account private but screengrabs taken appear to show the 23-year-old being forced to deny the odd accusation and hitting back at the “sickening” abuse she had throughout her pregnancy.

“It’s sickening how I’ve been treated throughout my pregnancy and now. I’m tired of the bullying and harassment. I have a newborn son; this is a time sensitive part of my life where I should be enjoying every minute. Think about it, how would you feel?” she wrote.

Jungwirth’s bio on her Instagram now reads: “Positivity only please, hate is blocked.”
