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

A Utah mother is taking on trolls who accuse her of sexually assaulting her teenage son after she was pictured wrapping her legs around him in a celebratory hug after his football game.

Amber Wright, whose husband committed suicide two years ago, posted the images on her own Instagram page after a friend filmed the images.

She was quickly slammed by users who questioned the close relationship between the pair.

In the clip, which has now been viewed more than 9 million times, Wright jumps into the arms of her son, 16-year-old Brixton, after his team wins a home game.

‘I was so proud. “I was a proud mother hugging her child,” she explained Today. ‘I never expected it to be something where people would say, ‘You’re sexually abusing him! You take care of him! 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 users online felt uncomfortable with what they had seen.

‘I wonder how many of his friends get to stay over. My son shouldn’t be allowed to stay over at their house,” one person said in the comments.

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

“Ewww,” “What, I thought this was his girlfriend‼️” another exclaimed.

Son, Brixton, decided to address the comments head-on: “How do you leave my mother alone. She never abused me, did anything sexual to me or my friends, or groomed me. She’s my mother, she’s my hero. The video of us hugging was a HUG. Go bother someone else and maybe hug your own kids. You all need Jesus, dammit.”

Numerous users chimed in to express their disapproval of what they had seen

The game had added significance to 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 has tried to explain her reaction to her son’s win

Son, Brixton, 16, explained the reason for the apparent bond with his mother and noted how he honored his father who committed suicide in 2021

Brixton continued, explaining that it was the first time his mother saw him wearing a shirt with numbers printed on it in tribute to his father who committed suicide in 2021.

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

‘I grew up with an alcoholic father who just came and went as he pleased, he was great when he was sober but he wasn’t, he was just so dark and different. He never really showed up to any of my games or anything like that. My moms have been to all my games since I played.

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