Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.

It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”

On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.

On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.

The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”

The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”

Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.

Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”

The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real

Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.

The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.

Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.

Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media

Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”

He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”

In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.

The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.

Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.

“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.

Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
