Sylvester Stallone’s wife Jennifer shares theory on rise of trans identities among celeb children

WASHINGTON, DC: Jennifer Stallone, the wife of Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone, has opened up about the controversial topic of why the children of celebrities seem more likely to identify as transgender compared to other children.

According to her, the reason lies not in fame itself but in the way these kids have been raised.

Jennifer Stallone claims Hollywood’s ‘loose culture’ influences kids

"Why do you think it is that so many kids in Hollywood now and kids of, you know, celebrity parents are transgender?" The 'Katie Miller Podcast' host Katie Miller asked Stallone in her program, which is yet to be aired. "Is there something in the water in Hollywood?"

"I just think Hollywood is, you know, it’s all about expression," Stallone replied. "So, you know, however you want to express yourself. If you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat."

She added, "And it’s so loosey-goosey. I don’t think that we’re really understanding that these kids are not our accessories. They’re little human beings that need structure. And structure is really important for them because it helps their brain organize everything."

Jennifer Stallone says Hollywood kids lack structure due to wealth and luxury

She highlighted that growing up in a Hollywood home often means "just too much of everything" and not enough direct parenting.

"And I think growing up in a Hollywood home, there’s really no structure because you have this thing going, and you’ve got private planes. And you’ve got all these giant homes with chefs and secretaries and assistants and, you know, housekeepers and nannies," she said.

She continued, "And there’s just too much of everything. It gets really confusing for a little person. And it’s OK what you decide to be as an adult. But raise them just with good common sense. I mean, my daughters were tomboys. They preferred to wear pants than dresses, you know. And they loved sports. But I never said, 'Oh, you’re a boy now.' I just said, ‘You love to play sports, you love to hang out with boys, that’s awesome.’" 

Hollywood stars who support their transgender children

Several Hollywood celebrities have openly supported their transgender children, including Robert De Niro, Gabrielle Union, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charlize Theron, Cher, and Liev Schreiber.

De Niro expressed his unwavering support for his transgender daughter in a statement to Variety, saying, “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is. I love all my children.”

Some of these children came out as transgender later in life, while others did so during their childhood.
