Selling Sunset's Mary Bonnet says she was given specific instructions on revealing pregnancy news while filming Netflix show
Mary Bonnet has a controversial allegation against Netflix producers regarding the way she was permitted to announce her latest pregnancy.
Extracts from the Selling Sunset's star have reportedly been obtained by PEOPLE Magazine, and have since caused quite a stir in the streaming service community.
The brand new series launched last month after much anticipation, and brought us masses of nail-biting drama.

On one side, we had Nicole Young alleging that 'gal pal' Emma Hernan was embarking on an affair with a married man, and on another, we had Chrishelle Stause accusing bosses of axing several of her most importance scenes - including ones with partner G-Flip.
Viewers also heard Bre Tiesi reveal the actual truth behind Chelsea Lazkani's recent drama, and were baffled when a certain TOWIE cast member appeared on the show as a celebrity guest.
Apparently, however, it's not just what happens behind the camera that has hit headlines recently, after Mary Bonnet reportedly claimed this week that producers had put a stop to her revealing her pregnancy during the 2022 series.
The fan-favourite star announced the exciting news on the show that she and husband Romain Bonnet were expecting, with viewers delighting in their joy.
Tragically, however, the A-list couple went on to suffer a miscarriage.
It is only recently, however, that Mary has lifted the lid on the way producers allegedly interfered with her pregnancy.
Writing in her memoire - which has since been obtained by US press - the Netflix beauty recalled having a 'strong hunch' that she and Romain were pregnant, but claims she was forced to 'wait' to find out.
Alleging the production knew she was trying to conceive, she reportedly writes: "Naturally, they wanted to capture the entire thing on camera, so they asked me to wait to take the pregnancy test until they could be there."
Mary claimed to have responded at the time: "Well, then you need to come over now, because I’m going to do it."
In the book - titled Selling Sunshine - she claims to have been told by producers that they were in the midst of filming other scenes and that she'd have to be patient.
"I was like, 'Are you kidding?'" she admits. "'You’re going to delay us finding out whether or not we’re having a baby?! Can’t we just re-create the scene?'"
Instead, she says the crew asked her to wait to take the pregnancy test until the next morning, when she eventually confirmed the news she suspected.
"In addition to my absolute astonishment, I suddenly became aware that I had cameras on me, recording my reaction, which made me hyper-focused on what I was saying and doing," she went on.
Tyla contacted Netflix for comment.
