When Sharna Burgess decided to post a vulnerable family moment with her 3-year-old son Zane, she probably didn\u2019t expect it to draw so much attention from mom-shamers. Yet, that\u2019s exactly what happened. The Dancing With The Stars alum posted a sweet new video of her blended family with fianc\u00e9 Brian Austin Green, and people were so judgmental about one aspect about it.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Burgess shared a rare new video<\/a> of her son Zane, who she shares with Green, and Green\u2019s sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, who he shares with ex-wife Megan Fox. It started with son Zane, who began his first day of preschool yesterday. \u201cI am utterly unwell\u2026 when did I blink?\u201d Burgess captioned the video of this milestone moment. \u201cThe end.. I SOBBED in the car afterwards. I also cried last night and this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n More from SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards held at The Dolby Theatre on March 27, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n In the lengthy post, she shared how she has been documenting her son\u2019s milestone moments by making video messages for when he gets older. Burgess added, \u201cMy big boy is still little\u2026 but today when he woke up he felt a little bigger, a little more grown, and a little bit less my baby. I am not well. And yet I couldn\u2019t be more proud \u2728\ud83d\udc95\u201d<\/p>\n Zane holds up a first day of school chalkboard sign and smiles at the camera. He asks, \u201cAm I going to school?\u201d as one of his older brothers off-camera says, \u201cYeah!\u201d and asks if he\u2019s excited. In the video, Zane\u2019s brothers praise him and encourage him about his first day of school, and it\u2019s the cutest sibling bonding moment ever.<\/p>\n But if you thought that was cute, wait until you get to the end. All three older siblings gather around Zane to snap a picture with him on his first day, and he couldn\u2019t look prouder with them by his side.<\/p>\n In her caption, Burgess added, \u201cHis siblings hyped him up this morning as you can hear, and we all went to support his first morning drop off. My blended tribe is my everything. We are so lucky \u2665\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n Despite how precious and adorable this video was, people flooded the comments with judgmental words because of the boys\u2019 long hair and one of the kid\u2019s fake nails.<\/p>\n \u201cDamn now even this boy looks like a girl why do all his boys look like girls,\u201d one person wrote. Others remarked on the kids\u2019 hair and outfits, seemingly forgetting that they are writing about literal children. The comments got so bad, Burgess ended up deleting them and disabling comments entirely on her post.<\/p>\n However, that didn\u2019t stop people from taking their hateful rhetoric to X. One person said<\/a>, \u201cBrian Austin Green is an absolute failure as a father. Any man who would allow not one, not two, but all THREE of his young sons to masquerade as little girls deserves to be castrated.\u201d Like, what? How can someone be so hateful to a bunch of kids? Others accused Green and Fox of \u201cchild abuse,\u201d and for what? Letting their child wear a Hello Kitty sweater? Letting them have long hair? It\u2019s ridiculous and completely uncalled for.<\/p>\n In the past, Burgess has opened up about the hate she, Green and Fox get about their kids. On an episode of Between Us Moms <\/a>podcast<\/a> in October, Burgess opened up about why their family wouldn\u2019t do a reality TV show. \u201cWe already get media articles like I\u2019m forcing Zane to be a girl because I haven\u2019t cut his hair yet or the ridiculous people saying that the kids are being forced to be girls,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand it. So imagine us doing an actual reality show. The attention is just not healthy for our kids and it\u2019s certainly not Brian\u2019s style either.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2023, Burgess wrote on her Instagram stories that people filled her DMs attacking her for putting her son Zane\u2019s hair up in a topknot with a pink elastic. \u201cI\u2019ve had some people in my DMs that were so passionately angry at me for doing that,\u201d she wrote, per Us Weekly.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t get this whole \u2018pink is for girls\u2019 and me putting a pink hair tie [doesn\u2019t] symbolize anything,\u201d she continued. \u201cI don\u2019t get this whole \u2018long hair is feminine or for girls.\u2019 I mean, I\u2019m sorry, have you seen Jason Momoa?\u201d Burgess added that it is \u201cjust wild to me that when it\u2019s kids, it\u2019s like we\u2019re pushing some agenda on them. It\u2019s so f\u2014king dumb!\u201d Period!<\/p>\n In a previous interview with Glamour<\/a>, Fox shared that she encouraged her kids to dress how they wanted to from when they were very young. \u201cNoah started wearing dresses when he was about two, and I bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is,\u201d the Transformers star, who is also mom to 5-month-old daughter Saga with Machine Gun Kelly, said. \u201cSome of the books are written by transgender children. Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn\u2019t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n So from the time they were very young, I\u2019ve incorporated those things into their daily lives so that nobody feels like they are weird or strange or different,\u201d Fox added. And if people have a problem with that, maybe they should look back at their own selves and figure out why they are being so hateful toward children in the first place.<\/p>\n These blended celebrity families make it look easy<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Best of SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for SheKnows’ Newsletter<\/a>.
