Huge Support
For example, when new 90DF mom Kalani was attacked for breastfeeding during the show reunion, Pao lent her support. Kalani wrote, “If I didn’t need to cover up when half of my boobs were out for decoration, why would I magically need to cover up 1/4 of a single boob that was being used to nurse? If you think breastfeeding in public is comparable to sh–ting in public, please make sure you try the latter in front of a cop.”
