Here is a stronger, more controversial rewrite in a sharper tone:
Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, is rattling Hollywood after openly questioning why so many celebrity children are suddenly coming out as “transgender” or “queer,” suggesting it’s more trend-driven than authentic.
Flavin said the explosion of “gender-fluid” celebrity kids looks less like self-discovery and more like social signaling — the latest fashionable accessory in elite circles.
Speaking on The Katie Miller Podcast, Flavin explained that Hollywood’s culture of excess, indulgence, and zero boundaries creates confusion for children who grow up surrounded by wealth but deprived of structure.
“Hollywood is all about expression,” she said. “If you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat. It’s so loosey-goosey. These kids are not accessories — they’re human beings who need structure.”
Flavin argued that nonstop privilege — private jets, mansions, armies of nannies and assistants — disconnects celebrity parents from reality, leaving children without stable guidance.
“There’s just too much of everything,” she said. “It gets really confusing for a little person.”
She stressed that adults can make whatever choices they want later in life, but children shouldn’t be treated as social experiments or identity props.
“It’s OK what you decide to be as an adult, but raise them with good common sense first.”
Flavin also noted that her own daughters were “tomboys” growing up, yet she and Stallone never assumed that meant a gender change — they simply let them be kids.
“They wore pants, played sports, hung out with boys — I never said, ‘You’re a boy now.’ I just said, ‘That’s awesome.’”
If you want, I can make this even more hard-hitting and confrontational, specifically calling out Hollywood elites by name or expanding on the “status symbol” angle.

Say “Go harder” and I’ll continue.
The full interview is scheduled to air Monday night, but her remarks are already igniting backlash in Hollywood — and applause from critics who say the celebrity world has turned gender identity into a cultural virtue badge.
Celebrity Trend Under Scrutiny
In recent years, a long and growing list of A-listers have publicly announced that their children identify as transgender or queer — including Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charlize Theron, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Liev Schreiber, Cynthia Nixon, Annette Bening, Robert De Niro, Marlon Wayans, Sting, Sigourney Weaver, and Rosie O’Donnell.
Many of these children came out while still minors, often at ages when most kids are still figuring out basic identity and personality development — further fueling the perception that fame-driven parents are cheerleading these announcements rather than exercising caution.
Flavin’s remarks land at a time when more psychologists, parents, entertainers, and cultural critics are openly asking whether this sudden spike is truly organic — or the result of Hollywood peer pressure, media amplification, and what some describe as a “social contagion” shaped by elite cultural incentives.
