Resurfaced clips have put TV show host, Mario Lopez, in the forefront of a social media storm.

They're of his controversial comments made during an appearance on The Candace Owens Show.
Lopez had spoke out against Charlize Theron letting her child, Jackson, identify as female when Jackson was a toddler.

Owens described this as a "weird trend" coming out of Hollywood.
If you didn't know, Charlize is the adopted mother of two children, Jackson and August.

She's not the first celeb to let their child choose their gender; Angelina Jolie has experienced this with her child, Shiloh.
Back in April, the actress recalled the time that Jackson told her she was a girl to the "Daily Mail".

"Yes, I thought she was a boy, too," Theron told the site.
"Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: 'I am not a boy!'"
"So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive."

"They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be."
"And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that."

Given what she said, it's likely that she wouldn't be too pleased with the rest of Mario's comments.
That's because Mario called it "dangerous" for parents to let kids choose their gender.

"My God, if you're 3 years old, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make this determination then."
"It's sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on."

"I think parents need to allow their kids to be kids, but at the same time, you gotta be the adult in the situation."
"The formative years is when you start having these discussions and making these declarations."

Bottom line, he said that it's way too young to let a child choose their gender.
Since his controversial comments have resurfaced, the "Saved by the Bell" star has been catching a ton of flack online.
People aren't impressed with his conservative approach.
The strong reactions kept coming.
"YOU ONLY HAD ONE JOB: MAINTAIN YOUR DIMPLES," someone wrote.
People are wondering how this will affect his career.
He recently started a new gig with Access Hollywood.
Fans are even saying that he's "canceled."

Another person said that Lopez should mind his own business and worry about his own kids.
Lopez is the father to three kids, Gia, Dominic, and a newborn son.

He had all three with his wife, Courtney Laine Mazza.
As of now, the host has yet to comment on the strong reactions online.
