After their video gained popularity and attracted negative comments online, the mother and son confronted the internet trolls. Amber Wright, a proud mother, observed her high school senior son, Brixton, in action on the soccer field. While watching his game, she spontaneously embraced him by wrapping her arms around his chest.
The video quickly went viral, and it was evident where viewers’ focus had shifted. However, now the duo has responded to the unfounded allegations about their relationship. Amber openly expressed her pride in her son and her desire to hug him after witnessing his performance. Amber made a statement on TODAY, saying, “I was genuinely proud. A motherly embrace enveloped me, and all I felt was happiness. Hearing people say, ‘You’re doing something inappropriate!’ was not what I anticipated. I can see through your intentions: that you’re creating a false narrative. I will report this to Child Protective Services.

Amber went on to emphasize the significance of the game, especially because it marked the first time her father, who had departed on April 4, had worn a soccer jersey on the field. Amber conveyed to the media, “As his mother, I am his refuge” whenever her child feels vulnerable.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Brixton addressed the harassers by saying, “Why don’t you just leave my mom alone?” She has never harassed me or any of my friends. The video of me hugging my mother is simply an expression of affection because she is my mother and my role model. Step aside and share a warm embrace with your own children. You’re lost without Jesus, for heaven’s sake.
“I come from a very affectionate family,” Amber told TODAY. Whenever I meet my father, I always greet him with a warm hug. What you witness on the field accurately reflects our personalities. After lifting me up and squeezing me, Brixton gently set me back down. Amber had initially captioned the image, “This boy will always have my entire heart,” but that caption has since been removed. I’m truly grateful that Gina managed to capture those final moments.
After my son completed his game, I went to give him a hug, but instead of embracing me, he lifted me off the ground and held me. I couldn’t estimate whether it lasted for 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or a whole minute.
