Indian comedian Arj Barker claims his mother ordered him to leave the concert because he was trying to “intimidate me.”

Mother-of-two Trish Faranda, who was asked to leave Indian-origin comedian Arj Baker’s Melbourne concert, has spoken out about the event that caused a rift on social media. After asking the mother, who had brought her infant with her, to leave the venue in the midst of the concert, Barker is now the target of fierce criticism.

Barker defended his choice, claiming that the mother and child were only asked to leave his event due to “audio disruption” and not because it seemed she was nursing the child.

He stated that he kindly requested that I depart. Werribee, Victoria, resident Trish Faranda told 9 News Australia, “I don’t think I’d be talking to anybody about it at all if he had politely asked me to leave.”

Faranda said that Barker “intimidated” her in front of the 700 spectators by using the microphone and his position on the stage.

“I would have been faster than you could blink and I would have been mortified that I had interrupted the show.” However, that is not what he did, Faranda informed the Australian news network.

It’s not what I experienced, and it’s not what other people saw. He approached me, took up the mike, and intimidated me with both the equipment and his position on stage. He called on the audience to join him after doing it in front of all those people.

The mother said that since her infant is reliant on her, she brought him to the concert; she would not have taken her older kid, who is five years old, there.

Faranda said that she had not received an apology from Arj Barker when asked whether she would accept his apologies.

“I’ve not received an apology. She said, “I’ve heard he’s giving out free tickets to his event.

It seems like he is a part of the performance while he is utilizing the microphone. It’s unclear to me whether he is being sincere. I would have left the place right away if he had talked to me instead of just speaking over the microphone.

To correct the record, Arj Barker—whose full name is Arjan Singh Aulak—appeared on the same program and posted a message on Instagram stating that he had no problem nursing. The cries of the infant, he said, interrupted his program and caused him to briefly lose concentration.
