“Big Brother”’s Nicole Franzel Hits Back at Body-Shaming Comments After Revealing She’s Pregnant with Twins

Nicole Franzel is hitting back after she received some body-shaming comments before revealing her pregnancy.

In a video shared to her Instagram, the Big Brother star, 33, could be seen wearing a white sweatshirt and lip synching along to a video. “It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Franzel lip-synched along. “You don’t deserve to be outside enjoying the sun.”

“You should be in a cave,” the audio then said as Franzel stepped back and showed off her growing belly.

“Me greeting the trolls that body shamed me before revealing my twin pregnancy 🙃,” Franzel wrote across the clip. “👋🙃,” she added in the caption.

Earlier this month, Franzel and her husband Victor Arroyo, who met while filming season 18 of Big Brother, announced with PEOPLE exclusively that they are expecting both a boy and a girl.

“We opened the gender envelope in front of our close family and friends, then shot up poppers to announce all at the same time,” Franzel explained to PEOPLE. “We all found out together, which was really cool but was not the original plan.”

“I gave the envelope to my mom before the gender reveal party to make a balloon popping game for us and after we popped all the balloons with no results, she handed us the envelope and said she didn’t open it and wanted us to have that moment to find out first,” she continued.

Franzel added, “It was a really sweet gesture in the moment. I was like ‘Whaaaat?!’ I couldn’t believe she didn’t look!”

Franzel and Arroyo announced in August that they’re expecting again, after trying for three years to get pregnant. In September, a rep for the couple confirmed to PEOPLE that they’re actually expecting twins.

“We were and are ecstatic,” said Nicole. “What a beautiful gift from God! I honestly felt so sick the first trimester and started showing around the 8-week mark, which, with my first pregnancy, I didn’t show until around 20 weeks.”

“I joked there must be two babies in there, and when there really was, I was happy-shocked,” she continued. “I’ve always wanted to have twins, and they run in my family!”
