She responded on her Instagram stories on April 29 saying—

"Some of y'all are actually being ridiculous with these comments. Yes, I'm breastfeeding so as the night went on my bo*bs got bigger. I was not in 'pain' I simply just had massive t*ts. I was surrounded by people that I consider family and literal family. Nobody made it weird so y'all don't make it weird."

The custom dress was designed by Macye Wysner of Cinq.
