Ellie Kemper is (understandably) not into strangers touching her pregnant stomach.

In an interview with Willie Geist from "Today," the pregnant "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" star shared that recently she has dealt with people touching her stomach without asking for her permission.

"I don't know what goes through a person's mind -- a stranger's mind no less -- when they think, 'Oh yes, your stomach is something that now belongs to me and I can touch it,'" she said.

Kemper noted that she's not a "very touchy, feely, comfortable person" and described the experience as "actually crazy."

"In a way, I think it's a nice reminder of humanity, but then I go quickly back to the idea that you wouldn't do this if I weren't pregnant," she said.

Kemper announced her pregnancy on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in April. She then celebrated on stage with Fallon by digging into a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
