NFL’er Philip Wheeler’s Girlfriend Criticized After Posting Breastfeeding Photo on Instagram

March 9, 2014 by Kellie Williams in Latest News with 6 Comments

Do you find this photo offensive?

It’s a photo of model Ashley Nicole, the girlfriend and baby mama of Miami Dolphins player Philip Wheeler, breastfeeding her son. A few weeks ago, she posted the photo above on her Instagram with the caption

Was on the way out the door but then mommy duty called… Everything stops for him! ???? #breastisbest #natureisbeautiful #IWasMadeForThis

So, what’s the fuss about? Well, apparently she received lots of backlash for posting the photo.

Her boyfriend, Philip, has jumped to her defense, telling TMZ :

I wish everybody would just leave it alone…She’s a model. She takes pictures for a living.

The NFL’er also noted that Gisele posted a breast-feeding pic back in December and did not receive much back lash.

In fact, she was praised for it and he doesn’t understand why folks’ reaction to Ashley’s isn’t the same. Meanwhile, Ashley has no plans to remove the photo and seems to be receiving lots of support from the breastfeeding community. She recently wrote on Instagram:

I’m so flattered by all the love I’m still receiving from the BF community!!! I appreciate you all!! I see all of your kind comments and I am happy to be an advocate for all the proud breastfeeding mothers. I hope that one day people will understand that there is no shame in feeding your child the way God intended for us to. Again, I can’t thank you all enough for your love and words of encouragement!

Anywho, what are your thoughts? Are breastfeeding photos too much for Instagram or natural?

Internet thugs get bold behind their keyboards… doubt anyone would have the gumption to tell Ashley anything while she was being photographed. She is feeding that baby and looking fabulous doing it. She wins selfie of the year in my book.

  Why judge someone else, it’s great the she is doing something healthy for her child. Don’t read more into it. Encourage the mother to breastfeed.

Why did it need to be blasted on social media for everyone to see? I am a breasfeeding mommy as well (tmi, but my point exactly) I don’t need to advertise it, I’m feeding my family, not my fans!! Why blast it all over social media unless youre seeking attention, which is what this is REALLY about. Breast feeding is a natural function, but so is diaper changing, do we need to see that…? how about the birthing, just when they are coming out…. do we need to see that and all the intimate parts that should be between mommy, baby, baby daddy and those close enough to be invited in. To instagram it for the world is not being an advocate, it’s being a attention whore. That’s why we close the door when we pee, NOBODY needs (or want) to see that! (unless your a perv) Can’t even mind my own business these days!! 2cent$
