Woman Left Devastated After Being Trolled Over Breastfeeding Photo

A Winter Olympian admitted she was "very sad" after cruel trolls accused her of attention seeking with a breastfeeding snap.

Snowboarder Torah Bright, Australia's most successful Winter Olympian ever, faced savage criticism when she shared a snap of her breastfeeding her 10 month old son, Flow, while doing a handstand.

But while we think what she's doing is incredible, naysayers were quick to accuse her of attention-seeking or "latch feeding for likes".

However, the 34-year-old decided to hit back at trolls for taking aim at the gorgeous snap, writing on her Instagram stories: "Becoming a mother has unleashed something inside of me. It's deeply spiritual.

"It's primal. It's raw. it's fierce. It is pure.

"In my world, mothers should be each other's cheer leaders (it's hard enough). Embrace our quirkiness and finding the joy in every sh***y thing that is motherhood.

"We all do it differently. It is not wrong or right. Motherhood is pure. I only now consider myself a Wonder Woman because I have joined the sacred mothers club with you. Nothing but respect to all mothers."

She then added that she was not looking for sympathy or praise from people.

"I walk this earth to the beat of my own drum, led by my nutrition and search for love and joy ... obviously," Torah said, before quoting Mary Poppins.

"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap, the job's a game.

"Growing up with this as one of my favourite mantras... no wonder I play around with the jobs of motherhood, all in the name of fun."

And fans celebrated Torah's attitude, telling her to ignore the haters.

"Positive Human, Olympian, Wife and Mother. Ignore the trolls. OMG. Focus on happiness and love," one person wrote.

A second added: "What an awesome mama bear. Love her," while a third chimed in: "She's in incredible shape and is not putting her child in danger."

We salute you, Torah!
