Shahs of Sunset mom-to-be Mercedes "MJ" Javid's been outspoken when it comes to the "shady" questions and comments she runs into online. “A lot of people on social [media] have already come at me for faking my pregnancy,” she just told People magazine in a candid interview, which ran alongside a stunning lingerie photo shoot showing off her baby bump.

But Instagrammers had rude comments over that too, and so she uploaded a very casual "no filter, no make up, no suntan, at home baby bump selfie" as her next post. The LA mom, who just endured months of bed rest, wrote that the candid photo was "to shut down all the haters who have a problem with a woman getting out of bed after 3 and a half months of bed rest to get a little hair and make up for her maternity photos."

Now MJ's hairstylist Brandon Liberati is sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot showing of MJ on set, wind machine for her hair and all. He wrote: "#bts of the RAW, unfiltered @people magazine shoot with the GORGEOUS and very pregnant [Mercedes Javid]."

This mama-to-be looks absolutely glowing — and just like the final image from that shoot that she just shared.
