Chrissy Teigen Gets Slammed for Sharing Breastfeeding Picture; Gives It Back to Social Media Trolls With Snarky Replies
The mommy of two took to Instagram to post a picture of breastfeeding her son, Miles that courted controversy.
A woman's breast which is the only source of complete nutrition for a newborn is sexualised. WHY? The latest woman to be targeted for posting a picture of breastfeeding her child is celebrity Chrissy Teigen. The mommy of two took to Instagram to post a picture of breastfeeding her son, Miles. Unless you are updated about Tiegen's life, looking at that picture you are sure to think the mommy is feeding twins. Well, it's not, one of the babies is not a real one, but her daughter Luna's doll.
Sharing the picture, Teigen said she was feeding Miles when Luna wanted her doll also to be fed. The caption reads, "Luna making me feed her babydoll so I guess I have twins now." In the picture, Luna can be seen standing next to Tiegen with a baby blanket for her doll. While the cute picture made most social media users go awww, some couldn't agree to it. Not everyone thought the picture was adorable and tried explaining she was oversharing pictures of her private life on social media.
That's the picture!
And Chrissy being the sassy queen, didn't let got the trolls empty-handed. She tweeted to one of them saying, "I don't care to see grainy fireworks, coachella selfies or infinity pool pics but i let people live. calm your tits and scroll on by."

She replied to another tweet (which is now deleted) saying, "Nah. Just chillin. Posting daily life like I do with anything else. Cooking, playing with dogs, etc. You make feeding a baby big deal because you got weird titty issues."
Here is the tweet:
Taking on the taboo of breastfeeding in public, many celebrities have in the past taken to social media with sharing pictures of naturally feeding their babies. Earlier this year, a Malayalam magazineย was embroiled in a controversy for featuring model Gill Joseph as breastfeeding an infant. While the picture received praises, it was also criticised for the bold stand. After a complaint was filed against the magazine, the Kerala High Court dismissed the petition filed against the magazine on grounds of obscenity.
