Brian Austin Green's ex-fiancée Vanessa Marcil has defended their gay son Kassius from an online troll who condemned his homosexuality as a 'sin.'
Vanessa and Brian co-starred in Beverly Hills, 90210 and struck up their romantic relationship in 1999 before splitting in 2003.
Over the course of their involvement, they welcomed Kassius, who is now 23 years old and has entered showbiz himself as an actor and writer.
Firing up her Instagram page, Vanessa, 56, posted a screen-grab of a message by a woman called Liz who denounced Kassius' sexual orientation.
In response, Vanessa blocked the woman and wrote a furious statement aimed at her and 'every other so called 'Christian' bible thumper coming to MY PAGE to tell me that my son is going to hell.'
She added: 'First of all I'm so sorry that you are so lonely & unhappy that you have to involve children in your self hatred, projection spirals but I promise you that my kid just feels sorry for you. He's happy.'
The General Hospital alumna went on: 'We all see clearly Liz that you are miserable. I'd say I feel bad for you but I'm not that mature.'
Vanessa continued: My kid however is the most decent, forgiving, kind, educated, talented, FREE, committed (with the same boyfriend for 8 years), self reflective, non judgmental, philanthropic (look it up Liz), Intellect…'
She added that Kassius 'has actually studied the Bible and Judaism along with other religions, languages, cultures, and he would fight for your freedoms and your rights just like my man did in the Iraq war.'
Vanessa is currently engaged to her longtime love MC Martin, whom she wrote fought abroad 'For you Liz. Both of my men have fought for you. I can take a guess about what any of the men in your life have done for society Liz.
'YOU unfortunately are going to have a real hard time getting into heaven, babe. But, don't worry….. my son just said he will put in a good word for you with God!'
After welcoming Kassius with Vanessa, Brian was married to Megan Fox, with whom he welcomed three children, Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, eight.
Since 2022 he has been engaged to Dancing With The Stars pro Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares a two-year-old son called Zane.
A couple of years ago, Brian candidly discussed the 'fascinating' experience of raising Kassius, who at that point was 21 years old.
He chatted frankly about his son's sexual orientation on the podcast Frosted Tips hosted by NSYNC alum Lance Bass, who is also gay.
During a freewheeling conversation, Brian shared that 'my son being gay' was initially a 'challenge' on account of being a venture into the 'unknown.'
In order to bridge the knowledge gap, he initiated 'conversations' with his son to 'understand the things that seemed so different to me' at the time.
Lance showered praise on Brian for being 'so open-minded,' and described Kassius as having been 'so lucky to be able to be in your family.'
He noted that 'so many kids out there don't get that, and even if their parents accept them, there's a lot of times where the kid still knows that they still disagree with it.'
Shortly afterwards, Brian confessed: 'It's been a challenge, just because honestly, it was – my son being gay, it was just unknown for me.'
He then clarified: 'But I'm not – I think a lot of people are afraid of the unknown, whereas I'm not. To me it's intriguing and I wanna learn about it.'
Brian recalled: 'So it was like, we would, I would get into these conversations with Kash where it was like, I really wanted to understand the things that seemed so different to me at first and then you realize like: "Oh, this isn't different at all. Like, it's just your choice of partner and your - it doesn't affect me at all."'
The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor declared: 'And that's the thing I'm always trying to beat into people now. It's like, it doesn't – it does not affect you.'
