Speaking about how she felt hearing rumors that she had been impregnated by AY, Alex said:
ALEX UNUSUAL: I had left social media weeks before the AY pregnancy controversy went viral. I had other reasons, and I had no idea there was an issue. I heard about it just like everybody else. I was not even on social media. It was when it happened that a lot of people started looking for me. They ran to my social media pages and noticed I had left. Then, some people started spreading different stories. That is how the media works, and if I had started to bother about that, I won’t be able to live my life.
I had other things I needed to focus on, and I needed to take a social media break. It was such a convenient time for what happened to happen and people decided to run with whatever news that made it more interesting. I really cannot be bothered about that.
The news was actually funny to everyone, including AY, his wife, and my family. We were surprised, because it made no sense. I was not sure how that story came to be, but I just feel like when people see that one is a good person, it feels too good to be true. So, it is very easy for them to feel like they can dent one’s image just because one is good. But, nobody is perfect; and not everyone is bad.
I don’t even know what caused their break up, and I don’t have any comment on their marriage. I am cool with both of them, and we don’t have any issues. I am sure they were just as surprised as I was that I was in the midst of all that. Again, the Internet cooks up stories for traffic, and that’s okay. They could use anybody’s name; but if my name brings them traffic, that’s all right.
What do you think about what Alex said about this rumor, and also about how she handled it?

"Come Back to reality"
Once upon a time humans lived and died happy. Despite the challenges of requiring hunting and gathering to eat and survive their workload was quite light and the majority of their time was spent frivolously socialising, playing, and exploring the vastness of Gods green and spectacular earth full of rivers, streams, beaches, mountains, tundra, forests and cities? no, no cities, no mental health struggles, every type of individual had a purpose and place within the tribe... At some point agriculture was invented and things begun to escalate but people once gave freely as the earth gave freely and provided them with food and water that was clean and not too difficult to attain. Sharing was the norm as every member of the tribe was valued.. Elders shared wisdom, guided, and taught. Young men hunted, young women gathered happily. Everyone could do all jobs, but certain people were more specialised... The modern-day schizophrenic would have thrived as a spiritual guide, the psychopath thrived as a hunter and warrior. Depression as a permanent disorder hadn't come about yet. Certain plants were loosely agriculturally utilised and there was a respect for nature and the land that gave freely in a symbiotic manner. The spiritual teachers kept the psychopaths from possessing the land or each other, the psychopaths kept the tribe strong athletic and safe from predators, and the tribe stabilised and looked after the spiritual teachers and learnt from them and adopted their visions and truths as their own.. Someone had an idea that food could be grown, controlled, harnessed, and ensured during some times of scarcity as a result of whatever environmental factors.. Slowly but surely the psychopaths and alike found themselves more adept at the ability to organise and control the farming process distribution and resources and fed off the spiritual leaders for solutions to the problems this had caused.. People became much more dependent on the psychopaths who had steadily depleted the natural abundance of the earth and controlled the food and used it to labour the tribes people... They found that by keeping people dependent enough to work for them, for just enough to survive from food and spare time, they could maintain an exponential growth that made sure that the increased amount of workers required to feed the children, that would become more workers, that would produce more children and so on, they would never go hungry and they could have luxuries such as protection from predators and abundances of mating opportunities.. This continued for a considerable amount of time before the psychopath's unquenchable thirst to tame the land, the people, the minerals, then the rivers, the animals, the spiritual leaders they eventually in their impulsive hubris decided to make even then earth itself work for them. Once the what they once thought was endless land became crowded and populated and the control and harnessing of all the previously mentioned became more difficult and resources were spread thin, the metals and ores and coal and humans became factories and factory workers... they had also invented this thing called money some time back which was initially used as a placeholder during scarcity for trading to signify using a "note" that someone owed you something particularly with seasonal foods etc.
