Ian Somerhalder Thinks It’s Cute That He Threw Away Nikki Reed’s BC Pills to Get Her Pregnant

Nothing like a little news to make your blood boil after a long week, right? Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed were guests on the podcast Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy recently, and he told a charming little story about what led to them “deciding” it was time to start a family. According to Ian, the couple were on vacation in Barcelona when he took it upon himself to get Nikki a little more ready for motherhood.

Ian Somerhalder said he threw away his wife’s birth control pills because it was “just time”.

Please keep in mind, he told this story in a humorous way. Like he thought this shit was funny. Ian went on to say, “But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realize that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control.” He continued, “By the way, it was the beginning of the pack, so I had to pop all those suckers out. It is a lot of work, especially after a little bit of sangria”, and even filmed himself disposing of the pills.

Ian insists he did this without Nikki’s permission (makes it worse, asshole!). To add insult to injury, he recorded his wife’s freak-out after discovering her birth control was missing.

The saddest part of the podcast came when Ian was telling his story about filming himself tossing the pills, and Nikki responds, “I’ve never seen this. Was I drunk? Was I coherent?”

Just in case anyone was wondering, reproductive coercion is a real thing, and this is a textbook example. The fact that he thinks it’s fucking funny is just beyond the pale. Luckily, since the story broke, he’s been getting dragged all to hell for this fuckery.

Reproductive autonomy is something women have to fight for every single day in this country, and especially under this administration. If Nikki was on birth control, and freaked out when it “went missing”, maybe, JUST MAYBE, she wasn’t as ready as he decided she was! The couple welcomed daughter Bodhi in July, and we sincerely hope Nikki was prepared for motherhood. Because it sure as shit sounds like she wasn’t at all prepared to get pregnant.
