One fan said: “So *to his knowledge* Belle & Belle’s body has gone through this trauma, and he hasn’t consoled her, BUT he is already suggesting they try again???????? Like she is a baby machine.”
Another echoed: “Shut up Tom! It’s not about you and if you weren’t such a bullying control freak poor Belle wouldn’t have had to have an abortion & lie about it.”
