“Lay off!”

Tori Spelling has harsh words for critics of Jessica Simpson who say the Fashion Star mommy-to-be has gained too much pregnancy weight.

“When women are pregnant, people need to lay off,” Spelling told Celebuzz. “It’s a really special time and you should be able to deal with it in your own terms.”

Spelling’s remarks came as the 31 year-old singer/actress/entrepreneur has been criticized in the media for the amount of weight she’s gained while pregnant.

Simpson made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel‘s late night talk show where Jessica told him she’s retaining a lot of amniotic fluid.

“Apparently I have a lot of amniotic fluid, so whenever my water breaks it will be like a fire hydrant!” Simpson said.

Jessica’s explanation was derided by The View co-host Joy Behar who criticized Simpson’s weight gain.

“Remember the time that Jessica Simpson was criticized because she didn’t know the difference between chicken and tuna? That kind of thing is more fun to criticize than the fact that the girl is fat,” Behar told the audience on Tuesday’s show.

“Most women who are pregnant are not supposed to gain more than 25 pounds. She looks like she gained a lot more than that.”

Spelling came to Simpson’s defense after those comments and noted that each woman’s pregnancy is unique.

“Every body is different. As far as weight, you never know what is going to happen. You can’t control what angle people are snapping your photo from,” Spelling said.

Jessica’s health and the well-being of her unborn baby are no one’s business but hers, her fiance’s and her doctor’s.
