According to her, it was not a planned moment on her show. However, in the end, she felt compelled to share or encourage another woman who might be facing a similar situation. Wyatt, a mother of 11 children, said she was surprised that people would say negative things about an ‘innocent unborn child,’ even though she’s used to criticism – ‘no weapon formed against me will prosper anyhow.’
First of all, she warned all those disgusting people who wanted her and her baby to suffer. “Be careful with your mouth when you talk to people. I pray that God will grant you mercy when life knocks at your door and you do not reap what you sow.”
Additionally, Wyatt acknowledged the upbeat feedback she has received from fans since revealing her health status. She thanked her fans for all the positive stories, emails, and support she got from them. Moreover, she said she would not let the negativity take a toll on her positive energy.
