Addressing Pregnancy Rumors
Despite the openness about their identity and relationship, Brown and Kriss have not been immune to public speculation and rumors.
In October 2022, Leon posted a series of photos, including a cozy picture with Kriss hugging them from behind.
This picture quickly went viral, sparking rumors that Leon might be pregnant.
In response, Brown addressed the speculations head-on.
Sharing the same picture via an Instagram story, they wrote,
“PSA: People can be fat without being pregnant. Asking people if they are pregnant is fucked up. Growing up, if you think that is an appropriate question to ask someone you don’t know. This fat body has kept me alive for longer than I thought it would. GTFO if you’re gonna be fatphobic or transphobic. Literally, bye.”
