Alyssa Milano Thinks It’s “Crazy” To Have Been Shamed For Sharing Breastfeeding Selfie
Alyssa Milano thinks it’s “crazy” she was shamed for sharing a breastfeeding selfie.
The actress posted an intimate photo of herself only to be inundated with cruel remarks.
And during an appearance on The Talk, Milano admitted she was stunned by the double-standard that appears to exist when women reveal their bodies.
“I was [surprised by the backlash] and I got really sad about it,” Alyssa shared. “Who are we that now we get upset as human beings if we see a woman feeding her baby? It’s crazy to me. Crazy, crazy, crazy.”
The actress pointed to Kim Kardashian’s recent attempt to “break the internet” with a series of nude images shot for Paper magazine, one of which showed her posing full-frontal.
“And everyone thought she was so brave, like, okay,” Alyssa shrugged.
Fellow mothers applauded her decision to share such an intimate moment with her daughter.
“The coolest part, without a doubt, is that I got so much support from the women that do breastfeed,” she explained, adding: “Not only is it beautiful, it is also a necessity I’m feeding my kid.”
