Ashley Graham made headlines last week when she changed her one-month old son Isaac Menelik Giovanni in the middle of a Staples store in New York City.
Graham, 32, said it was her first, ‘diaper blow up while running errands with no restroom in sight,’ adding she was thankful that she put the changing mat in the diaper bag.
While several famous mothers applauded her on Instagram, such as Amy Schumer and Sara Foster, the 55-year-old Williams was not a fan of what Graham did.

During the Hot Topics segment of the show, Williams made it clear that she is a fan of Graham, who has been on the show and who she’s seen ‘socially.’
Williams added, ‘she’s being mommy-shamed by me because I don’t like what she did, changing her seven-week son in the middle of the store.
‘So they’re at the the Staples and he does an explosive, so she changed him in the aisle. Now, personally speaking, I don’t wanna see this,’ Williams said.

She then asked, ‘Why didn’t she just take the baby to the car?’ as the audience applauded her question.
Williams added that her other thing was, ‘If you have a seven-week-old child, I just wish she did something different.’

Williams added that it is ‘not cool’ and, ‘I don’t know why we have to know about it on her Instagram.’
‘This is not hot. Ashley, I like you, this is not hot, this is sending a bad message,’ Williams said.
The host asked one of her producers if she has ever changed her child in the middle of the store, but she said she did something a bit different.
