Actress Susan Sarandon's son, Miles Robbins, is reaching out to fans on his mother's behalf, requesting that they refrain from sharing videos and photos of her that exploit her decolletage.

The request comes amidst the fallout of Sarandon and her longtime agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), due to her comments on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Susan Sarandon's Son Requests Fans To Respect Her Privacy Online

Amid the turmoil surrounding the actress, her son took to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a plea. While grateful for the support amidst what he dubbed a "new era of McCarthyist blacklisting," he urged fans to refrain from circulating a video that seemed to leave him embarrassed. 

The mentioned video showcased Sarandon in a lacy bra and a white robe, seated in a chair undergoing hair and makeup glam. In his words:

"Ok I'm really grateful to see people on Twitter defending my mom amidst a new era of McCarthyist blacklisting but can you PLEASE stop using the clip of her getting her hair done with her honkers out."

However, the social media plea took an unexpected turn and sparked cheeky responses, adding a humorous twist to the unfolding drama. One fan sarcastically noted, "Those honkers fed you have some respect." "You can't censor us or her big naturals, my guy," another stated, slyly referring to the 71-year-old's ample bosom.

Some even tagged the video in question, blatantly doing the opposite of what he asked. An example was this cybernaut who quoted the clip with a response that was in part cheeky and a compliment. 

"This one? She looks like a proper goddess here mate," they humorously wrote. Another was more surprised that the actress was his mother, excitedly noting, "That's your MOM?! Iconic."

Robbins' plea came after his mother faced a significant career shakeup as her talent agency, UTA, reportedly severed ties with the prominent Hollywood star. The decision came in response to the mother-of-three's vocal advocacy for Palestine during the Israel-Hamas war.

According to sources, UTA employees were disheartened by Sarandon's comments at a pro-Palestinian rally, where she reportedly remarked, "There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country."

The agency, which had been in partnership with Sarandon since 2014, confirmed that they no longer represent the "Dead Man Walking" actress.

Aviva Klompas, former director of speechwriting at the Israeli Mission to the United Nations, criticized the Broadway star's statement, interpreting it as suggesting that American Jews deserved harassment and assault.

Beyond the Hollywood drama, Sarandon plays an important role in her family as the oldest sibling of nine. Born on October 4, 1946, in Jackson Heights, New York, to Lenora Tomalin and Army Lt. Phillip Leslie Tomalin, she grew up alongside her brothers and sisters, often serving as a maternal figure due to the significant age gap.

The "Thelma & Louise" actress' family later settled in Edison, New Jersey, where she and her siblings attended separate Catholic schools. Her induction into the hall of fame at Edison High School and the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2010 showcased her lasting impact on her alma mater and the entertainment industry.

Like every family, Sarandon's had their own dynamics and memorable moments. One such occasion was during the "James and the Giant Peach" star's wedding to ex-husband Chris Sarandon in 1967. She recalled her younger brother Phillip's involvement with a bridesmaid and her mother's pregnancy and disapproval. 

Notably, her brother Terry carved his own path as a prolific journalist, transitioning from a police reporter to the lead outdoorsman at the Tampa Bay Times. Unfortunately, they also suffered a loss with the death of the 55-year-old from a heart attack on May 19, 2016.
