A call out to all 'mum shamers'
Michelle Branch – a popular celebrity mum is calling out ‘mum shamers’ after copping backlash for breastfeeding in public.
On Tuesday, the singer took to Twitter after a trip to a playground left her “fuming”.
“I just got shamed by another mother (who was holding her own young infant!) for nursing my six-week old baby on a bench at a playground while my toddler was playing,” she said.
“She said I wasn’t ‘being modest’. I am in shock that this kind of judgement was coming from a fellow mum!”
Fans were quick to weigh in on the situation, with one user saying “A woman did this to my bestie at the Grammy Museum 10 years ago and I’m still mad about it.”
Michelle responded, “I was in shock, so I didn’t say anything back. I’m fuming!”
In a follow-up tweet, Michelle went into further detail regarding what unfolded: “I had a nursing tank top on and was seated away from others,” she wrote on Twitter.
“It’s not like I walked into the crowd and whipped my tits out.
“Being a mom is hard enough. Can we not judge one another for how we feed our babies?”
Michelle gave birth to a daughter, Willie Jacquet Carney, on February 2nd with her husband Patrick Carney. The couple also have a three-year-old son, Rhys James.
Michelle is best known for her 2003 Grammy-winning song Game of Love, featuring Carlos Santana.
