If there's one thing Samantha Ponder won't stand for it is the ridiculous hate from body shamers who are calling out her appearance during her pregnancy.
The 31-year-old sportscaster is expecting her second child with her star athlete husband, Christian Ponder. After receiving multiple nasty comments about her appearance, Ponder finally hit her limit this week, according to Us Weekly.
"Getting sexist/vulgar tweets abt my job/appearance while I'm unable to see my own feet & covered in toddler pee is somethin else I tell ya," she tweeted Tuesday, March 7.

The barrage of hateful comments sprung up after it was announced that Ponder may be replacing Chris Berman for Sunday NFL Countdown.
"When I can Tell you Women's Rights, you can tell me about Sports. I never carried a Child, you Never carried a Football," one hater wrote.
Another came in hot with a simple, "no talent."
Even though she's had to deal with a lot of unbelievable hate, she's also received sweet messages of support from fans and women who look up to her for paving the way.
"You are an inspiration for young girls like my daughter. She is now a sophomore in college dreaming of being on the sideline," one man wrote.
Another fan added to the conversation saying, "You inspire me everyday! I really look up to you & you make me realize my dreams are totally possible!! You're Super Woman!"
