A milestone moment for Sharna Burgess' son drew unwanted attention this week, prompting the dancer to respond directly to a critical remark.
Sharna Burgess has addressed criticism aimed at her young son after sharing a family milestone online. On Monday, Sept. 2, the professional dancer posted an Instagram video of her 3-year-old son, Zane, preparing for his first day of preschool.

Shortly after, an online user left a comment suggesting that her son resembled a girl. According to E! News, the remark read that even her son looked like a girl and questioned why her boys all looked the same.
Burgess replied by challenging the commenter. She reportedly told the user to remove privacy settings so that she could respond with a remark about their own appearance.

As of Wednesday, Sept. 3, Burgess disabled comments under the post. The "Dancing with the Stars" professional shares Zane with actor Brian Austin Green. Green also has four other children from previous relationships, including three with ex-wife Megan Fox.
In the video, Burgess showed her son standing outside a home, holding a sign to mark his school milestone. One of his siblings could be heard speaking to him off-camera before joining him, along with two others, for a group photo.
In her caption, Burgess reflected on how quickly time had passed, writing that she felt "utterly unwell" and asking herself, "When did I blink?"
