Days After Being Shamed For Sharing Photos Of Herself Breastfeeding, Rumer Willis Called Out The “Visceral” Reaction To Her Latest Post Promoting A Sex Toy

Rumer, who shared the pictures in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, described her breastfeeding experience as “one of the most joyful” of her life.
Rumer also drew attention to the importance of breastfeeding in her caption and encouraged her followers to “advocate for better support and resources for breastfeeding moms” and for people who “lack the necessary support and care” while breastfeeding.
“Nothing is private anymore. Moms know , no need to post this,” one popular comment read. “Is this necessary!?!?!?” another user questioned.
Rumer’s post was branded “bizarre” by users who felt the need to remind her that she’s a mom. One ridiculous comment read, “She has no talent except for this and breast feeding on Instagram,” while someone else wrote, “You are making your Daughter proud.”
Meanwhile, other users praised Rumer for her refreshing and candid post. “I love this post.. being an older woman I appreciate how well you put this,” one comment read.
“Just the idea of even posting about something or having some sort of casual off-the-cuff conversation about it — the reaction is visceral from people. And I think it’s really important to have these conversations to be able to remove some of the shame around it,” she added.
Rumer then said that as someone who has a daughter, she finds it “despicable” that people put “any sort of shame or taboo” around female sexual self-discovery.
“I want Lou to be able to love her body,” she said before adding that her daughter should be able to “share or not share” her body “with whoever she wants to.”
And Rumer concluded by reiterating how it is important that we stop shaming people for talking about their sexuality or breastfeeding. “I just ask that you try to refrain from hate or negativity on my page,” she said.
