"Let me stop the rumor mill right now. I'm not pregnant! Yes, I'm black but I don't have diabetes, I don't starve myself to fit clothes," she explained on Twitter squashing the rumors. "I eat right and exercise! I love myself waaaay more than I like my career. I would never put myself in harm's way to mirror any 'image.'"
