Imogen Anthony has lashed out at critics after revealing that her recent pregnancy announcement was a Halloween prank involving a prosthetic baby bump.
The model, 32, took to Instagram on Sunday to address the backlash, urging her detractors to ‘take a joke’ and refocus their energy on more pressing global issues.
‘Listen, I’m sorry if I offended or triggered anyone, but after everything I stand for and represent, if you decide you have an issue with me now over this, then I’m taking back the f**ks I gave,’ she began, clearly unapologetic about her faux pregnancy stunt.
‘Give a f**k that electric cars are just as bad as regular cars. Give a f**k about thousands of tonnes of nuclear waste being dropped into the ocean.
Imogen continued by emphasising the importance of directing one’s attention to critical global concerns, including conflicts like the Palestine-Israel situation and the welfare of children.

She argued that by diverting energy away from trivial matters and towards these pressing issues, the world could stand a better chance.
‘Give your fcks to the right things and take a joke,’ she concluded her impassioned response, signing off with a cheeky ‘Happy Motherfckin’ Halloween.’
It comes after Imogen sent her followers into a frenzy on Thursday after she shared a photo of what appeared to be her pregnant belly.

‘Halloween is going to be very different & feel very strange this year lol,’ she wrote teasing followers about the upcoming Halloween festivities.
Imogen has since clarified that she was using a prosthetic baby bump as part of a costume.
‘I’m sorry, I’m not really pregnant,’ she told her followers on Saturday.
‘I just want to dress up as a certain pregnant person tonight because my other Halloween outfit didn’t arrive.’
In the video, the model removed the fake baby bump to display her real stomach.
The star apologised for fooling her fans: ‘Sorry to disappoint, I thought it looked fake and everyone was so excited.’

Imogen sparked rumours she is expecting her first child with husband Harley Jones on Thursday.
Dressed in a minimalist white top and denim shorts, Imogen gave followers an intimate glimpse of her pronounced midriff.
Imogen then shared footage of her stomach from another angle to her Instagram stories.
Imogen married Harley in November last year in Las Vegas.
She and her ex-boyfriend Kyle were together for eight years but he never popped the question to the former model.
The media titan announced his shock split from the Big Brother VIP star on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in November 2019.

‘We haven’t been with each other for quite a few months now. Unfortunately it’s run its course,’ he said.
Kyle began dating Tegan Kynaston following his split from Imogen and they tied the knot last month.
Kyle and Tegan welcomed son Otto in August and following the birth he declared on his KIIS FM radio show that he and Tegan were in a ‘love bubble’.
The couple married in a lavish, multimillion dollar ceremony on April 29 at Swifts, a $60million-plus heritage listed mansion, located in Darling Point, located in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Imogen previously made headlines when she spoke about the importance of living life on her own terms, before saying she harbours no hard feelings towards anyone.
‘My life is about making it a special one, living under zero control of others, doing and being as I please with no ill intent,’ she said.
She also seemingly hinted at the lack of appreciation she received from Sandilands during their former relationship, writing: ‘It’s not my fault if someone didn’t know how to treat or appreciate something while they had it.’
Her post concluded with Anthony asking others to ‘leave her out’ of the situation, stating: ‘If someone else is willing to settle, that’s on them. I ain’t. So leave me out of it.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Imogen for comment.
