Actor Dylan O’Brien is in hot water. O’Brien, 33, is under fire from his transgender sibling, who is transmasculine, for not speaking to them in a year. In the last few years, the Teen Wolf star has been quiet, aside from his brief tryst with Sabrina Carpenter.

O’Brien’s sibling, Julz O’Brien, 35, commented on a post about their brother, which has since gone viral. In the media recently, there has been a lot of talk about transgender rights and laws surrounding them. The Last of Us Star Pedro Pascal recently condemned Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for her comments on a new UK transgender law. Pascal, 50, called the author, 59, a “heinous loser”.

But what did O’Brien say about their brother? Stay tuned to find out.

A resurfaced interview of O’Brien saying he was “grateful” to have a transgender sibling was blasted by his sibling, Julz O’Brien. They posted in the comment section of a post by the Gay Times that they haven’t heard from him in “over a year”.

Here is the post.

In his interview with Vulture in January 2024, O’Brien said, “I have a trans, nonbinary sibling. I know people in my personal life as well who are queer and I am so grateful for how much it deepens my experience in this world.”

While promoting his movie Ponyboi, where the lead is a gender-nonconforming character, he said this.

What did Julz O’Brien say?

His sibling was quick to blast him in the comment section.

In a comment, O’Brien wrote: “He didn’t check in when I had top surgery,” Julz wrote in the Instagram comment.

They continued, “He didn’t even wish me happy b-day last week! But glad I could deepen his experience in this world and make the world love him that much more.”

Furthermore, the 35-year-old condemned their brother for referring to them as “non-binary” rather than transmasculine.

“I’m actually trans masc and go by he/they pronouns 🫶🏼😌,” O’Brien wrote in another comment.

Furthermore, O’Brien said in another comment, “Kinda funny that this article didn’t ask me a single thing about myself? It’s about me and uses my photo. I’m not even tagged.”

Ouch.

Dating back to 2023, it appears the siblings were close, as Julz posted a birthday shout-out for their brother.

At this time, the Teen Wolf star has not commented on the allegations. Since he has no public social media, we don’t think we will hear anything.
