Supermodel Lara Stone has revealed that she lost an important modeling assignment after the bosses came to know about her pregnancy.
The Calvin Klein beauty told Porter magazine that she found out she was pregnant right before an important modeling gig and promptly passed the news on to the people who had booked her. When she arrived for the job, however, she was told they'd booked someone else.
"I was really upset at the time," Stone said.
"I hadn't yet had my three-month scan and I felt really vulnerable about everything. I no longer had a job. That was it -- I had to just stop everything that I knew; the way my life was."
Stone, 30, gave birth to a baby boy -- Alfred, her first child with husband David Walliams -- in May 2013.
