Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the pro-wrestling character, is a real piece of sh*t.

The AEW star courted controversy yesterday when footage of him giving a 7-year-old boy the middle finger at a signing session hit the internet. This went down during Revolution weekend in Chicago, IL, and the kid's father, Tom Gilmartin, told TMZ all about it.

"I tried to laugh it off knowing he’s just in character," he said, "but it really upset him. I know that’s his gimmick but he’s only 7 & doesn’t understand," adding that his son is now being mocked online for what happened.

Though Gilmartin's account is protected, Cody posted further replies noting that "this was a paid meet/greet where you specifically chose the individual" and "MJF is immature and doesn't represent the brand."

Cody also stated the following in a tweet that has since been deleted: "DISCLAIMER: If you have a meet/greet or inquire media wise for MJF, you'll get MJF. Talent have freedom of expression so please don't think anybody is going to act any different than they do on TV."
