Jennifer Flavin — longtime wife of Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone — has shed light on one of the most puzzling trends in the entertainment world: why so many Hollywood stars’ children are coming out as transgender.
After being asked on The Katie Miller Podcast if “something in the water in Hollywood” is making so many children transgender, Flavin said that narcissistic celebrities lack an “understanding that these kids are not our accessories,” as well as living in denial that young people “need boundaries.”
“I just think Hollywood is all about expression. So, you know, however you want to express yourself,” Flavin told podcast host Katie Miller, who is also the wife of U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and a former spokesperson for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“So, if you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat. And it’s so loosey-goosey,” Flavin — who fled Hollywood and California with her husband for Florida last year — continued.
“I don’t think that we’re really understanding that these kids are not our accessories, they’re little human beings that need structure,” she added. “And structure is really important for them, because it helps their brain organize everything.”
The model, who married Stallone in 1997, explained, “I think growing up in a Hollywood home, there’s really no structure, because you’ve got this thing going on, and you’ve got private planes, you got all these giant homes with chefs and secretaries and assistants and, you know, housekeepers and nannies.”
“There’s just too much of everything, and it gets really confusing for a little person,” Flavin said. “And it’s okay 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, 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,’” Flavin added.
