Kim Kardashian has blamed pregnancy hormones for her Twitter outburst following false reports about her baby.

The socialite ranted after reading that she was using a surrogate and wasn’t really pregnant herself.

Kanye West’s wife also revealed that Twitter staff had contacted her after her unusual tirade, because they thought she might have been hacked.

The star, who is expecting her second baby with Kanye after struggling to conceive, has also told fans that she is having bad morning sickness.

It came after a dramatic time for the star at the CFDA Awards, when her dress caught fire.
