Jennifer Flavin shares her thoughts on why she believes celebrities’ children are more likely to explore more non-typical sexual orientations.
During her last appearance on Katie Miller’s PodcastThe 57-year-old former model spoke candidly about how she sees Hollywood’s influence on young people’s sense of identity.
“I think Hollywood, you know, is about expression,” she said in a clip she obtained. Fox News Digital.
“So, you know, however you want to express yourself. If you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat. And that’s pretty loose.”
Flavin went on to say that she believes celebrity culture and wealth can create an environment that lacks boundaries for children.
“I don’t think we really understand that these babies aren’t our accessories,” she explained.
“They are little humans who need structure. Structure is really important to them because it helps their brains organize everything.”
According to her, living in luxury often increases confusion.
“There’s a lot of everything,” she said. “It’s really overwhelming for someone so young.”
Speaking from her own experience raising three daughters with Sylvester Stallone, Sofia, 29, Sistine, 27, and Scarlett, 23, Flavin said she has always tried to emphasize balance and common sense.
“It’s okay what you decide to be as an adult, but just raise them with common sense,” she said.
She thought about her daughters’ childhoods, explaining that they were active and independent but she never labeled them.
“I mean my girls were tomboys,” she shared.
“They preferred to wear pants instead of dresses, you know? And they loved sports. But I never said, ‘Oh, you’re a boy now.’ I just said, ‘You like to play sports, and you like to hang out with the boys, that’s cool.'”
Flavin and Stallone, 79, have been married since May 1997. The couple briefly faced a difficult period in 2022 when Flavin filed for divorce in August of that year but reconciled just one month later.
Through her comments, Flavin made it clear that while she supports self-expression, she believes children need structure and guidance as they grow up, especially in the spotlight.
