Overview

• Ana Navarro, co-host of 'The View', faced backlash for posting on Instagram about wanting to 'breastfeed' Colombian singer Maluma after seeing him perform in Miami. Navarro, 51, commented on 29-year-old Maluma's sex appeal and stated her seats were close enough to make eye contact.
• Several social media and Instagram users condemned Navarro's remarks, with one stating that 'if a man made a sexually explicit comment about a much younger female performer, they'd face immediate repercussions'. Navarro was also criticized for her 'vulgarity' and 'double standards'.
• In response to the contentious post, actress and television show host Holly Robinson Peete made light of Navarro's comment by stating: 'Why do I have a visual of you breastfeeding that boy that I cannot unsee'. Some users, however, found Navarro's comment humorous and defended her candid nature.
• Navarro has previously opened up about her struggles with trying to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF). During a 2019 segment on 'The View', she encouraged women to freeze their eggs if they could afford it, in order to have greater options later on.
• Maluma, who is a reggaeton and salsa star, is currently expecting his first child with long-term girlfriend Susana Gomez. Navarro, who is also fond of other artists like Sting and Fat Joe, made no comment on Maluma's impending fatherhood in her Instagram post.
