Did MTV's 16 and Pregnant star Nikkole Paulun FAKE her 2nd Pregnancy and subsequent Stillbirth? Read on to find out why we think the below picture could prove that EVERYTHING was a lie.
*Part One*
"16 and Pregnant" alum Nikkole Paulun shocked fans in this winter, revealing that she was pregnant with her second child. The months leading up to the birth of her first son Lyle in 2009 were documented by MTV camera crews. The episode showcased the all too familiar scenario we've seen repeated many times in the series: a fun loving high school cheerleader and immature boyfriend (Josh) fail to use condoms, resulting in a 9 month drama fest, which includes Josh ditching her in the parking lot of the homecoming dance and flirting with another girl behind her back. The delivery room serves dual purposes as a birthing suite and verbal boxing ring with Mr. Right and Nikki's mom arguing over who "trumps" the other during a screaming match as Nikkole watches on, wincing in labor pain. Of course, very few teen romances have happy endings, and soon after Lyle's birth it was discovered that Josh had been cheating on his pregnant girlfriend.
During this episode it was hard not to scream at the TV. Whether it was clever editing, or true life, it was heartbreaking to watch soft-spoken Nikkole allow Josh to walk all over her time and again, blatantly disrespecting her and putting his desires before the well being of his child. During the final scene, Nikkole speaks into the camera about her situation, seeming to finally realize the harsh reality and struggles that result in having a child at such a young age.
We had high hopes that Nikkole. But the statistics on subsequent repeat pregnancies for teen moms are shocking. One in 5 women who give birth before the age of 18 will become pregnant again within two years. So when news broke that Nikkole was once again pregnant, it was more disappointing than surprising. We occasionally checked in on her progress, keeping abreast of news through her VERY frequent tweets and videos. She allowed fans an all-access look into her pregnancy, sharing updates and news such as the sex of the baby (it was a boy) and announcing in a Keek video that the father was not Josh, but "an unsupportive friend". Nikki appeared to be happy and healthy. Little Lyle seemed thrilled in a cellphone video where the big-brother-to-be excitedly said how he wanted to see his sibling"on the screen", referring to an ultrasound video.
But happiness soon turned to horror when Nikkole revealed this week she had suffered a still-birth. Suddenly it was all quiet on the social media front, instead opting to give an exclu$ive interview to Radar Online.
"Everything was going okay and last month, my doctor told me that if everything was okay, I could deliver on Aug. 25, which was a week before my due date. But then on July 27, I felt really weird all day and I kept telling my mom something didn’t feel right.” Nikkole decided the best option would be to go to the hospital that afternoon to check things out and get an ultrasound. “They just told me, ‘We’re sorry. He doesn’t have a heartbeat. We’re going to have to deliver to prevent infections and everything. They gave me the chance to get an autopsy, but I chose not to."
My first thought upon reading the interview with Nikkole was how absolutely tragic this is. I can think of nothing worse than losing a child, and my heart broke for her. Curious as to how she was dealing with this horrific loss, I took to her Twitter for answers. What I saw was shocking. There was not one mention of her ordeal, minus a link to her Radar interview. Backtracking, I checked out her tweets from July 27th, the day she supposedly began feeling that something was not right. There were retweets, a mention that "spoiling a girl with food" is the best way to win her heart and "Savages is the baddest movie ever!" Okay...a bit odd for someone who is in the hospital getting tests done and finding out her child had died, but maybe everyone deals differently? But perhaps the oddest set of Tweets took place on July 28th- the day she claimed to deliver the baby after an induction. We'll let you take a look at them yourselves...
I began reading other web pages that talked about the sad news and noticed that many sites, and the comments on them, suggested that Nikkole may not only have faked this tragic incident...but perhaps faked the entire pregnancy itself! On several blogs (and even comments on Radar Online's exclusive interview with her) various people claiming to be friends and family members of Ms. Paulun stated that they knew for a fact that the entire pregnancy was a sham! Others stated that they lived locally to Nikkole and saw her out and about, including at her work. As one poster wrote "One day she had a flat stomach, the very next day she had a HUGE belly." Even her cousin Brielle chimed in, explaining why this was happening.
The following day Nikkole went to a weekend long music fest, talked about getting drunk, and became so rowdy she was kicked out of her hotel. Below is a photo she posted from said event. Notice the perfectly flat stomach DAYS after giving birth. Also keep in mind after delivering a full term baby your breast milk comes in heavily within 2 days. Anyone with children can attest to the fact that breast pads become a daily part of life. How is Nikkole able to wear a teeny bikini?
There are MANY more bizarre and obvious signs that Nikkole's pregnancy was not what it seemed, including PROOF of fake ultrasound pictures found through Google with the original mother's name removed and her's photo shopped over it. We will be exploring part two of this tomorrow. In the meantime, we're leaving you with one final oddly shaped piece of this puzzle.
Check out this photograph Nikkole posted of herself, pregnant with baby number two. Take a GOOD, LONG LOOK AT HER STOMACH. Do you notice anything? Color inconsistency? I did. I immediately noticed what appeared to be either a rolled up towel or pillow under her sweatshirt. I used my *very* basic computer skills to lighten the photo to see the contrast more in depth. Something doesn't look right.
