“I don’t think anyone has an issue with your son picking you up, just the (fact) that it appears you’re straddling your son. You’re also dressed pretty sexy for a high school football game.”

Following so many negative comments regarding the video she posted on her official account about she hugging her son, the single women fires back at her trolls. She told Today:
One of my best friends recorded the moment where Brix picked me up and I thought it was so cute.”
She further said that she was very proud and hugged her kid as a proud mom. She continued:
I never expected it to turn into something where people are like, ‘You’re sexually abusing him! You’re grooming him! I’m calling.”
Her son Brixton also commented on the video firing back at the haters to leave her mother alone and that he loves her.
Who was her husband?
In addition, Brixton noted that his mother had never seen him wear a shirt with numbers on it, which was a special tribute to his father, who tragically committed suicide in 2021.
