‘DWTS’ star Sharna Burgess claps back at critics of her baby son wearing a pink hair tie

Sharna Burgess, the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ pro who shares 13-month-old son Zane with her partner Brian Austin Green, is addressing negative comments she received about her son’s appearance recently.

In an Instagram post, Burgess shared a photo of Zane and Green playing on the couple’s bed. Zane—who has a ton of gorgeous, wavy hair—is laughing and rolling around on the bed with his hair pulled off his face and secured with a pink hair tie.

Apparently, critics flooded her inbox with DMs about the little guy’s hair. Because of course they did.

In her since-deleted Instagram Story, Burgess responded to someone who asked her if she was going to “let Zane’s hair grow long like his brothers.” (Green shares sons Journey, Bodhi, and Noah with his ex-wife Megan Fox.)

Burgess confirmed that yes, she is absolutely letting Zane grow out his “beautiful baby hair.”

“I’ve had some people in my DMs that were so passionately angry at me for doing that,” she said. “I had someone comment on the fact that his hair tie this morning is pink.”

Burgess then clapped back at sexist notions about what boys and girls are “supposed” to wear.

“I don’t get this whole ‘pink is for girls’ [thing] and me putting a pink hair tie [doesn’t] symbolize anything. I don’t get this whole ‘long hair is feminine or for girls,'” she continued. “I mean, I’m sorry, have you seen Jason Momoa? I need to do a post [on my Instagram] of all the men that a majority of women, and probably the majority of men, find attractive and so many of them have long hair.”

Also, can we please just take a minute to all collectively agree on how crazy it is that anyone would see a tiny pink hair tie on a 13-month-old baby and decide to send a nasty comment about it to the child’s mother? Like…what?!

Burgess also noted that men on the cover of romance novels have long hair, too, and no one complains about that.

“It is just wild to me that when it’s kids, it’s like we’re pushing some agenda on them. It’s so f—ing dumb!”

Both Green and Fox have had to respond to cruel comments and questions about their three sons’ hair and wardrobe choices.

Back in 2020, Green responded to critics in the comments section of his own post.

“I’ve read some of the comments here. I’m not saying anything is right or wrong,” he said. “I think some people with different opinions are attacked because opinions usually start with the words ‘I think’ or something similar. When people state opinions as facts is when arguments happen.”

“Some people like boys and men with long hair. Some people don’t. Both opinions are ok,” the actor added.
