Arj Barker explained that his decision to tell the breastfeeding mother to leave was made on behalf of the “other 700 or so audience members who deserved to see the show they had paid for, uninterrupted.”

A spectator told the Australian Breakfast radio show today: “He stopped the show and said, ‘Can you take this baby outside?’, and the crowd wasn’t sure whether he was serious.Comedian Arj Barker sparked outrage after telling a mother that her seven-month-old child couldn’t stay at one of his shows that sparked worldwide outrage, with a certain Danielle Arbaci, who has since deactivated her account, sharing a rather disturbing account of what went down last weekend.

“With all of the hatred and violence women are faced with, among the countless atrocities happening within the world today, I ask you to simply take a long, hard look at yourself,” Danielle concluded. “Now I was quite concerned. In my experience of doing comedy for nearly 35 years, an audience focus is a delicate thing. The 49-year-old went on to explain that with 50 minutes remaining of his show, he chose to make the “difficult” decision to “calmly” inform the woman holding the baby to leave.

The Californian also clarified that while some people had left as a result of his decision, “97% of the audience remained and the show was well received.” “She was four rows from the front in the middle of the row, so definitely not close to the edge like she said. “It was way past its bedtime. And the baby doesn’t want to be there. It has no interest in a comedy show.”
