US actress Natalie Portman has lashed out at Page Six, a gossip section of the New York Post, for spreading untrue pregnancy rumours.
The media outlet ran a story on Thursday claiming that Portman "seemingly has a baby bump" visible underneath a blue tank top, as she was spotted by paparazzi outside in Sydney.
An indignant Portman dismissed the claims in her Instagram and accused the tabloid of "bodyshaming".
