Dancing with the Stars pro Sharna Burgess is reminding the internet that her children are off-limits.
The 40-year-old dancer and mom of three-year-old Zane, whom she shares with actor Brian Austin Green, fired back at a social media user who commented that her son “looks like a girl.”
The remark came on a video celebrating Zane’s first day of pre-school, which should have been a joyful family milestone that was shared with her followers on social media.

On September 2, Burgess posted an Instagram video capturing Zane’s first day of school. The clip showed her little boy holding a sign announcing the big step, while one of his siblings encouraged him warmly off-camera.
“My big boy is still little… 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’t be more proud,” Burgess wrote in her Instagram post.

Later in the video, Zane posed alongside his brothers for a heartwarming photo, which was highlighted by Burgess. “His 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,” she wrote.
But amid the post’s comments, one troll decided to post a critical comment. According to E! News, the remark read: “Damn, now even this boy looks like a girl. Why do all his boys look like girls?”

Burgess quickly shut it down, responding: “Take your account off private so I can comment on how you look too.” Following the exchange, she disabled comments on her post altogether.
This has not stopped negative comments on other platforms, however. On X, some users criticized Zane’s dad, Brian Austin Green, for allowing his son to look feminine.

“Brian 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 c*strated,” an X user wrote.
Burgess shares her 3-year-old son with Brian Austin Green. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star, 52, also shares Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, with his former spouse Megan Fox. He also shares Kassius Lijah, 23, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil.

Burgess’ post was an emotional reflection on children and growing up too fast
Ultimately, Burgess used her Instagram post to express just how emotional the day was for her as a parent, according to People magazine.
She admitted that she “SOBBED in the car” after dropping off Zane and had already shed tears the night before.

“When did I blink?” she asked, reflecting on how quickly her toddler was growing.
The professional dancer explained that she has been making memory videos for Zane since his first birthday, such as small documentaries capturing milestone moments, heartfelt words, and stories she wants him to hear when he is older.

In her caption, she admitted that one day he may not remember these early years, so she documents them all to preserve the magic of his childhood.
“It’s wild watching him grow into this life and this body, but still remember details of another time. I know one day he will forget those things, so I always try to document it all for him,” she wrote.

She also recalled how Zane recently told her he remembered being in her belly, describing the water, the music, and even saying he “used to be a woman and had a cat named Carol.”
For Burgess, these innocent stories only deepen the bittersweet feeling of watching her son grow into his own person.

While Burgess’ post attracted trolls, her insights and thoughts on her “blended tribe” also attracted words of support from numerous netizens.
“These are children!!! No matter their hair, nails, clothes, etc. CHILDREN! How they look no affect on your life! Truth be told, they look happy. Let them be,” one commenter wrote.

“It’s crazy to me that so many people feel the need to comment the most basic sh*tty reaction. No one cares. These are children, trying to live their lives and love/support their brother, keep your judgmental opinions to yourself,” wrote another.
