- He responded to criticism by mentioning a yacht trip.
- His wife advised him to remove the controversial post.

Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall recently shared a video on Instagram featuring his 11-year-old son, Zí, running alongside their car at 2 AM. Marshall explained this was a form of discipline, aiming to train his son as a 'warrior' and 'leader' with discipline and service.

In response to further criticism, Marshall's public reply to PEOPLE magazine included a jest about sleeping on a yacht in the French Riviera. He shared this exchange on his Instagram Stories before deleting it.
Marshall later explained the deletion in a video, crediting his wife Kristen Jacques. She had called his response 'tacky,' prompting Marshall to remove the post. He emphasized the importance of listening to one's partner, calling her his 'north star.'
