Bre Tiesi blasts the media for ruining her pregnancy announcement.
The model and influencer, 30, took to her Instagram Story and penned a note regarding her disappointment while also thanking her supporters.
She's 'Horrified'
"Given the recent announcement regarding my pregnancy, I would like to address a few things," Tiesi wrote.
"From the day I found out I was pregnant, I was over the moon excited and filled with joy. I am still incredibly excited and eager to be a mommy," she continued.
"I purposefully kept my pregnancy private for various personal reasons, and am horrified that this precious moment was exploited and plastered all over TMZ," she stated, adding, "This was not how I'd hope to share this news especially given that I've been able to protect this news for almost my entire pregnancy."
Tiesi concluded her message by writing, "With that said, thank you to those surrounding me with love during this beautiful time in my life. I can not wait to meet my son ๐ถ๐ฝโจ"
Nick Cannon's 8th Child
Tiesi is currently pregnant with her first child with "Wild "N Out" star Nick Cannon, 41. The rapper and TV presenter is also a father to twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, 4, and Powerful Queen, 1, whom he shares with Miss Guam 2014 Brittany Bell; and twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, 7 months, whom he shares with broadcast professional Abby De La Rosa.
Cannon's other son, Zen, 5 months, whom he shares with singer Alyssa Scott, died on December 5 after being diagnosed with brain cancer last year.

Addressing The Pregnancy & His Son's Death
Cannon spoke about Tiesi's pregnancy for the first time during a recent episode of his talk show, while discussing Zen's passing.
"So even going through all of that, this was always in the back of my mind, like, 'What is the right time? How do I share this?'" the host admitted.
"No one, we didn't expect Zen to pass away ... All of the news was so unexpected," he continued, adding, "I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with Alyssa, and Bre was respectful enough โ She held off making our announcements and speaking on social media. She's a very, you know, in the public eye type of person, but keeps her stuff private as well."
Cannon explained: "And it was just one of those things like, you know, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to say when I was dealing with Zen or to hold off. Even right now, that it came out yesterday, that wasn't planned to talk about it. We wanted to, you know, hold on as long as we can, but it happened. We here and I'm with my family I get to discuss it, I get to be open."
