Adele appears to have slammed Jamie Oliver and others who put pressure on breastfeeding mothers.
The singer launched a foul-mouthed rant when she was asked about “breastfeeding mummies” by an audience member at her concert at London’s O2 Arena this week.
Last week, celebrity chef Jamie, whose wife Jools is expecting their fifth child, said his next public campaign will focus on mothers who don’t breastfeed their babies.
However, Adele, who has son Angelo with partner Simon Konecki, seems less than impressed with Jamie’s views.
She said at her gig: “Do you know what? The pressure on us is f*cking ridiculous and all those people who put pressure on us can go f-ck yourselves. Right.”
Speaking on LBC last week Jamie voiced his strong opinion that more mothers should be breastfeeding.
He said: “I think the most upsetting thing for me at the moment is breastfeeding. We have the worst breastfeeding in the world.
“The way that the breastfeeding formula industry advertises has a history of doing certain things in not such agreeable ways.
“We need to support the women of Britain to breastfeed more, anywhere they want to.
“If you breastfeed for six months, women are 50 per cent less likely to get breast cancer. When do you ever hear that? Never.”
However, as Adele has highlighted, it’s not always that simple and she was only able to breastfeed for nine weeks.
She said: “It’s hard, some of us can’t do it. Some of my mates got post-natal depression from the way those midwives were talking. Idiots.
“Breastfeed if you can, but don’t worry, [formula] Aptamil’s just as good. I mean, I loved it, all I wanted to do was breastfeed and then I couldn’t and then I felt like, ‘If I was in the jungle now back in the day, my kid would be dead because my milk’s gone.’
“It’s not funny that’s how some of us think.”
