A Connecticut mom is thanking people who rushed to defend her after a man started berating and cursing at her for breastfeeding in a mostly empty Target cafeteria.

Jessie Maher was nursing her newborn daughter when she says the man looked over at her and started viciously cursing at her, and calling her "disgusting."

"He asked me if I could do it somewhere else, and then he started to say it's disgusting, and he just kind of kept repeating that," Maher tells WFSB News.

Maher then started filming him as she continued to breastfeed, telling the camera, "Because I'm feeding my baby, this man is going crazy. And I'm shaking." The video then shows multiple women and three Target employees coming to her aid and escorting the man away, after he demands a refund.

I am all for breastfeeding and doing it wherever you need to, with some basic modesty. But it almost seems as if many moms are craving the attention to be chastised for doing in public just so they can rant about it.

She shouldn't be expected to go to a bathroom or anything.

In this case attention appears to be a big part of it

The super-breastfeeding community will be allll over this. They actually love when this happens. Prepare for allllll the hashtags.

Guy has issues and is totally, 100% wrong, by the way. Good for the other people who stepped in. The story should focus on the fact that it was many against one. However, everyone will latch (ha) on to the one stupid guy and his craziness.

IDGAF about breastfeeding in public- don't like it, don't fricking look. If she wasn't an ugly slob, he likely wouldn't have had any outburst.

Good, just because you shite out a baby that doesn't give you the right to flip your privates out whenever you feel like it.

How brave of her to still be able to flip out her camera and record as she was so scared she was shaking.


I'm not condoning the man's behavior, but I'm tired of "victims" exaggerating their abuse for attention. You obviously aren't too shaken up if the first thing you do is take the time to record it.
