Angry Utah mom, 38, blasts trolls who accused her of sexually abusing her son, 16, by wrapping her LEGS around him in a celebratory hug after a football game

A Utah mother lashes out at trolls who accuse her of sexually abusing her teenage son, after she was photographed wrapping her legs around him in a celebratory hug after his soccer game .

Amber Wright, whose husband took his own life two years ago, posted the footage on her own Instagram page after a friend filmed the footage.

She was quickly taken to task by Internet users who questioned the intimacy of the relationship between the two men.

The clip, which has now been viewed more than 9 million times, shows Wright jumping into the arms of his son, Brixton, 16, after his team won a home game.

“I was so proud. I was a proud mother hugging her child,” she told Today. “I didn’t expect people to be like, ‘You’re sexually abusing him!’ You prepare it! I’m calling child protective services,” she said.

The pair appeared extremely close as the 38-year-old mother wrapped her legs around her 16-year-old son.

But many online users were uneasy about what they witnessed.

“I wonder how many of his friends are allowed to stay with us. My son would not be allowed to have sleepovers at their house,” one person posted in the comments in response.

“I don’t think anyone has a problem with your son picking you up, just the fact that it seems like you’re riding your son.” You’re also dressed pretty sexy for a high school football game,” another wrote.

‘Ewww’, ‘What, I thought it was his girlfriend’ exclaimed another.

Her son, Brixton, decided to face the answers head on: “How are you going to leave my mother alone? » She never abused me, did anything sexual to me or my friends, or groomed me. She’s my mom, she’s my hero, the video of us hugging was a hug. Go bother someone else and maybe kiss your own children. You all need Jesus.

Many users came together to express their disapproval of what they had witnessed.

The clip, which has now been viewed more than 9 million times, shows Wright jumping into the arms of his son Brixton, 16, after his team won a home game.

The game added resonance for the mother as it was the first time her son wore the number 44 in honor of his father who committed suicide two years ago.

The mother of one tried to explain her reaction to her son’s victory

Her son, Brixton, 16, explained the reason for the apparent closeness with his mother, noting how he honored his father who committed suicide in 2021.

Brixton went further to explain that it was the first time his mother saw him wear a shirt with numbers printed on it to pay tribute to his father who committed suicide in 2021.

“My mother is my hero. I was just giving her a hug after the game and I picked her up, she didn’t jump on me. My mother has been the only person there for me my entire life,” Brixton wrote.

“I grew up with an alcoholic father who came and went whenever he wanted, he was great when he was sober, but he wasn’t, he was so dark and different. He never really showed up at any of my games or anything like that. My mothers have been there since I played there.

“My father committed suicide last year and this year I changed my number to 44 BC, that was the date of his death (4/4/21). It was the first time she saw me wear it in person, so obviously she was very emotional and so was I. It was all just a big hug from me to her.
