Alyssa Milano Battles Wendy Williams in Support of Breastfeeding Advocacy
Alyssa Milano remains vocal in her advocacy on breastfeeding. Making a recent appearance at the "Wendy Williams Show," the TV star and host Williams get into a confrontation centered on the issue.
Milano, as told by Today, is a proud breastfeeding mom who uses social media to promote and give awareness to the public.
In her latest guesting at Williams' talkshow, Milano addressed the issue of breastfeeding in public. The duo's tense exchange of words took the audience's attention.
"I was surprised by the reaction and I was surprised that I then was then put in this position of being a breastfeeding advocate -- which I love, and I take that job with a lot of responsibility," Milano told Williams, as quoted by News.com.au.
Urging that breastfeeding in public is supposed to be "natural," the mother of two continued, "But it was kind of shocking that [people] were so opinionated about something that's supposed to be so incredibly natural."
However, Williams interrupted as she had to voice out her stance against it.
"I don't need to see that -- I just don't want to," Williams said as quoted by the publication. "I would go to the car [to breastfeed], not on the bench in the front of the big-box store."
But apparently, the "Charmed" star was prepared to make another point as she explained, "So for you, maybe you've sexualized breasts, where [Cyrus' outfit from last year's VMAs] is OK," Milano explained while the photo of Cyrus was being displayed, showing her only covering her breasts with suspenders.
But of course, Williams, known to be strongly opinionated, pressed on saying, "Yes, they're more sexual than a feeding thing... I don't know why I feel this way. I just feel like... I'm a mom also, breastfeeding is only a particular amount of time. The rest of the life your breasts are sexual things."
The conversation simply ended with the two agreeing to disagree. Milano is a mother to four-year-old son Milo and 16-month-old daughter Elizabella.
Meanwhile, Milano has reportedly tried losing her post-baby weight. "I always take my time losing the baby weight because there's so many more important things to be going through," news.com.au quoted her as saying.
"But as far as... Hollywood making me feel that I needed to lose the weight, I didn't feel that pressure. I felt a personal pressure," she added.
