Steffani Jenz - the wife of German centre-back Moritz - fumed about the treatment she received
The WAG of a former Celtic star has spoke out about her harrowing experience of being attacked while breastfeeding at a game.
Steffani Jenz, whose husband Moritz spent six months on loan at the Scottish club in 2022, was watching him in action for Wolfsburg against Union Berlin at the weekend. She also had their 11-month old son with her.
The singer needed to feed him during the first half and so she left her seat and went to the family area of the stadium. It was then that a Union fan, who she described as being a man over 70, approached her and demanded she leave.
"He is holding a beer and comes very close to me and put his scarf on top of our jackets," Steffani explained on her Instagram. "I have a small baby in my arms and this man looks very angry and gets too close to my baby.
"So I stand up and with my backpack in one arm I start to go to another table. He takes one toy of my son's and in a very rude way screams I have to take it."

The WAG explained how she reported the fan in question but no action was taken
She went on to claim he was "smacking his lips in a very vulgar way" before throwing the toy at her. After reporting the incident to security, she says the guard spoke to the man but began laughing with him.
The incident left her to shaken to the point where she was "unable to sleep all night" and she wanted to share her story on social media so others didn't suffer the same treatment, calling on Union to do better and live up to their vow of being a "family club."
"Not one of the people I asked for help did anything or saved a kind word for me," she fumed. "Sadly we live in a society that not only doesn't condemn, but also protects these types of ignorant people."
Union responded to her comments by issuing an apology, which she later thanked them for. They said: "Dear Steffani, we are very sorry to hear about this matter and have forwarded your complaint to our head of security.
"Women should be able to breastfeed their babies everywhere without harassment. Especially in a family area. We are trying to clear things up, thank you for sharing and speaking out!"
