A 19-year-old woman, only identified as Haley, appeared on the Dr. Phil Show on Wednesday and Thursday claiming that she’s 9-months pregnant with baby Jesus. Spoiler alert: pregnancy tests and an ultrasound have found that she’s definitely not pregnant.
"I know my pregnancy is real. I’ve gained at least 22 pounds," Haley said on-air.
"I was sleeping one night and my baby punched the bottom of my stomach and kicked me, and I can feel his head right here, right below my belly button."
"My family, my friends, my pastors at church, they don’t believe that I’m pregnant," she explained to Dr Phil. "I know it’s Jesus. I don’t care if my family disowns me. It really comes down to if you’re a true believer in Jesus or not."
The claims are taking a toll on her family, especially her mother, who says her daughter previously lied about being a contestant on American Idol, having donated one of her kidneys, and claiming that her father is actually Eminem.
