Jessica Serfaty is not pregnant, and she wants everyone to know it. The model and actress, known for America’s Next Top Model and Days of Our Lives, shut down rumors about a baby with ex-fiancé Leonardo Del Vecchio, the Ray-Ban heir. Her response was blunt:“Not pregnant. Most definitely not with Leo.”Then she added that the rumors came“straight from Leo.”
The denial follows a New York Times report that Del Vecchio paid crisis operative Jed Wallace in 2024 to boost websites calling Serfaty a prostitute and a liar. That same year she accused him of domestic violence, then recanted. This October, she told the Times she was pressured to take it back and still stands by her claim that he hit her. Del Vecchio, meanwhile, has been in the news for tell-all interviews about drugs, his dating history, and a family succession battle over the business.
It’s a messy mix of celebrity gossip and something more serious: what money and power can do to someone’s reputation. So here’s what we want to know. When you see a viral claim about a celebrity, do you believe it right away or wait for the facts? Tell us in the comments.
