The Hug heard round the world.
A Utah mother is facing criticism over an intimate hug with her son that has sparked controversy.
Amber Wright, who lost her husband to suicide two years ago, shared a video of her and her son embracing. This heartwarming moment quickly went viral on her Instagram page, thanks to a friend who captured the footage.

However, some online users have raised concerns and questioned the nature of their relationship.
Amber Wright clarified that the particular hug was indeed intimate but not for the reasons some people mistakenly assumed. The significance of the hug was related to the unique circumstances of the game.
Brixton had chosen to wear a jersey that bore the date of his father’s passing, April 4, 2021, represented by the number “44.”
Certainly, this mother and son have the right to express affection in their own way, but it’s understandable that some might find it uncomfortable, as personal boundaries vary from person to person.
