Oliver Hudson, son of actor and musician Bill Hudson and famed Hollywood star Goldie Hawn, is clarifying his comments that the actress gave him with “trauma.”

“So far out of context,” Hudson, 47, told his sister, Kate Hudson, on their podcast, “Sibling Revelry.”

“I’m even afraid to talk about it to inflame this even more, because everything is taken so far out of context.”

He added: “If you listen to the whole thing, it’s more about my child feelings in that moment rather than me and how I feel about Mom as a parent.”

“I don’t know who I would be without my mother,” Oliver Hudson stressed. “I can’t even fathom it. The love that I have for her and the respect and the reverence that I have for her is beyond anything.” L. Cohen/WireImage

The “Rules of Engagement” star then elaborated on the deep love he has for his 78-year-old mother.

“I don’t know who I would be without my mother,” he said. “I can’t even fathom it. The love that I have for her and the respect and the reverence that I have for her is beyond anything. So, it was just completely taken out of context.”

Kate, 44, jokingly responded that she knew immediately that her brother’s words were going to get misconstrued.

“You used such clickbait words,” the “Almost Famous” star said. “I can’t leave my brother alone for a second!”

Last week, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum claimed that he sometimes felt “unprotected” by his famous mom during his childhood.

“My mother was the one that I had almost the most trauma about, interestingly enough, because she was my primary caregiver, and I was with her all of the time, so I felt unprotected at times,” he said at the time.

While Hawn was an “amazing mother,” he often felt secondary to other aspects of her life.

“She would be working. She had new boyfriends that I didn’t really like,” he noted. “This is my own perception as a child who didn’t have a dad and needed her to be there.

“And she just wasn’t [there] sometimes, and she came out far more than even my dad who wasn’t there.”

Hawn married Bill in 1976 and had Oliver and Kate before the couple split in 1980, with their divorce finalized two years later.

Shortly after the divorce, Hawn began dating Kurt Russell, with whom she has been with ever since.

In order to process his feelings about his childhood, Oliver signed up for the Hoffman Process course.

Billed as a weeklong retreat that helps users “identify negative behaviors, moods and ways of thinking,” it helped the “Grown Ups 2” star, according to him, “realize that [his parents were] only repeating the ‘ship that they went through, you know, with their parents.”

Hudson has said that since his time with the Hoffman Process he has begun to patch up his relationship with his father.
