Beyoncé’s baby bump made big news a few months ago, and now she’s making some big news again: bumpgate.

Conspiracy theories surfaced this week accusing Beyoncé of wearing a fake baby bump.  Theorists pointed to these screenshots, observing how the baby bump seems to “deflate.”

The Daily Beast offers many explanations for skeptics, but they have yet to answer one question – why do we care?

As Jezebel explains…

Let’s all give Beyoncé and her baby bump a break…we’ll find out the truth in February.
