There's nothing more irritating to a reality star than Perez Hilton stealing their precious scoop. Yesterday, newly engaged Real Housewife of New York's Bethenny Frankel tried to play off pregnancy rumors with jokes and Skinnygirl margaritas.

Well, today she's decided to change it up and aim for the sympathy vote. She 'fessed up that she is in fact pregnant and even managed "fight back tears," People writes, while she confirmed her pregnancy :

"It's premature to be telling people this. It's not like, 'Did I get Botox?' It's not the way I wanted it to get out. I haven't even gone through my first trimester. We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fiancé's] parents didn't even know."

She keeps this victim thing going on her Twitter where she adds she "was unfairly forced to come forward early."

Apparently, bestie Jill Zarin didn't even know as she shot down baby rumors last night...That ought to result in a "Why didn't you tell me before you went crying to People?!" fight.

Look on the bright side, Bethenny, now you'll get to join the Baby Bumpin' club.
