“General Hospital’s” Kirsten Storms took to social media to put a rumor going around online to rest. As Soaps.com readers know, Storms’ character, Port Charles’ Maxie Jones West, is pregnant on the show. Fans began to speculate online that the storyline was written because the actress herself is pregnant. She posted a photo on Instagram to show she was in fact not with child. She also wrote, “This is the only time I will address this on social media. 1. No – I’m not pregnant in real life. Just in ‘GH’ life (where they pad me up to look prego in maternity clothes). 2. I like to wear loose clothes because THEY ARE COMFY. and 3. If you wouldn’t say something to a person on the street, don’t say it to someone online. It’s still rude. And I don’t do rude. Just like I refuse to turn around and start judging your appearance by the photos you post. #keepitclassyladies.”
This is not the first time the actress has had to take to social media to address rude remarks from fans. In 2016 Storms marriage to former co-star Brandon Barash (Johnny Zacchara) ended. A year later Storms took time off General Hospital for personal reasons. When a fan accused her of battling drug addiction, Storms addressed the rumor on-line and revealed she suffered from severe depression, which was the reason for taking time off. In recent months Storms has been dating musician Elias Paul Reidy. She has a daughter, Harper Rose, with her ex-husband. The two remain good friends and share parenting responsibilities.
