Karamo Brown responded to Mario Lopez’s views on the “repercussions” of children transitioning.

Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and More Celebrity LGBT Allies: See How They Show Their Support

“I’m disappointed to read @MarioLopezExtra comments about parents who support their child’s openes [sic] about their gender identity,” the Queer Eye star, 38, tweeted on Wednesday, July 31. “As a social worker, I am trained to identify abuse or neglect of a child. Healthy & safe dialogue w/ kids is neither abusive, neglectful or ‘dangerous.’”

The reality star added, “I don’t think @MarioLopezExtra should be ‘canceled.’ But I do believe he should be given the opportunity to learn why his comments are harmful to trans youth and their parents. Mario, I’m ready to talk when you are.”

Celebs Fight Back on Social Media

Brown’s tweets came one week after the Access Hollywood host, 45, shared his views on children transitioning on The Candace Owens Show. When the conservative commentator, 30, mentioned that Charlize Theron’s 7-year-old identifies as a girl, calling this a “weird trend” in Hollywood, Lopez admitted that he was “trying to understand it” himself.

“I’m blown away by it too,” the entertainment reporter said in the July 23 interview. “Look, I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong. But at the same time, my God, if you’re 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make this determination then, ‘Well, OK, then you’re going to a boy or a girl,’ whatever the case may be … It’s sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
