Emmy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron is all for gender equality and freedom, which she also imparts to her two adoptive children.
The 42-year-old “Atomic Blonde” actress has been praised by many for being a hands-on mother to 6-year-old Jackson, whom she adopted from her homeland, South Africa, and a 2-year-old daughter from the United States.
However, several netizens have lambasted Theron online after photos of her son dressed up as the heroine Elsa from the Disney animated film “Frozen” surfaced.
More images surfaced recently, which showed the young boy donning skirts and tutus. One showed him wearing a braided wig.
Although Theron seldom posts photos of her children on social media, NBC’s Page Six reaped negative comments on their images online.
