Olivia Wilde took to Twitter to share her dismay at being on a subway train while (heavily) pregnant, only to find that none of her fellow passengers rose to offer her a seat.
It's a scenario we're all familiar with. You're on a train and have a seat and you're sitting comfortably ready for a nap or some Netflic when a pregnant, elderly or disabled person gets on the train. What do you do?
The correct answer is obviously... you give your seat up, but that didn't happen to Hollywood actress Olivia Wilde.
Earlier this year the 32-year-old actress announced that she was expecting her second child with fiancé, actor Jason Sudeikis. Their first child is two-years-old Otis.
Olivia posted the news on Instagram, uploading a cute picture of herself and Otis along with the caption: "Matching baby bumps."
Aww, how cute do they look?
And now, heavily pregnant Olivia took to Twitter to express her dismay when she boarded a train and was not offered a seat. She wrote: "NBD, able-bodied riders who won’t give your seat to a GIANT preggo. I’ll just stand riiiiight next to your head and pray I go into labor."
Many agreed with Olivia, with one user writing: "Their mamas didn’t raise them right… #GetUp #MannersCostNothing"
Someone else wrote: "Consideration should be universal. If I encountered a pregnant man on the subway, I'd give up my seat."
However other people disagreed with Olivia, criticising her for what they say as complaining. One person wrote: "Ugh, get over it, I handled being bigger than you are, deal woman."
Another wrote: "Women want to be treated like men. Here you go."
"Pregnancy is not an illness or disability. You're rich, call Uber or catch a cab! Entitled much?"
"You are not disabled… You're pregnant and if you can act, exercise, etc you certainly can stand for a 15 minutes ride."
"First of all, pregnancy is a CHOICE just like giving up your seat is. You've got a lot of nerve. So someone who's been working."
Olivia later dismissed the online trolls by tweeting: “Whoa whoa whoa, It’s not about scolding, or celebrity, or who can afford an uber. It’s simply about us all looking out for each other.”
What do you think?
Should you give your seat up for a pregnant woman?
