A Woman Was Verbally Assaulted For Breastfeeding in Public - and Got It on Video
Hearing stories of moms who were questioned, reprimanded, or even asked to leave places because of breastfeeding their babies in public has become commonplace on social media. For Jessie Maher though, writing an open letter to someone who shamed her for feeding her child wouldn't have been enough. When she was verbally assaulted by a man in a Target, she started recording him instead.
"Before the video started rolling he looked at me and said (very angrily), 'Can't you do that somewhere else? That's f**king disgusting. You are nasty' . . . I responded with, 'I am feeding my baby, and I have the right to do it here,'" Maher said in a Facebook post accompanying the video. After being verbally slammed by the man several more times, Maher was approached by Target shoppers and staff who came to her aid - and then she started filming.
To see some of the encounter, watch the video above.
