Megan Fox Shuts Down Claim Her Kids Are “Forced” to Wear “Girls’ Clothes”
Megan Fox is speaking out after politician Robby Starbuck claimed she “forces” her three children to wear “girls’ clothes” on Twitter. On Sunday, Fox responded by sharing a screenshot of the politician’s initial tweet, which featured a photo of her children alongside a message for Starbuck on Instagram.
“Hey @robbystarbuck i really don’t want to give you this attention because clearly youre a clout chaser,” she began. “But let me teach you something… irregardless [sic] of how desperate you may become at any given time to acquire wealth, power, success, or fame – never use children as leverage or social currency. especially under malevolent and erroneous pretense.”
Fox continued, “exploiting my child’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe.” She went on to say she has been “burned at the stake by insecure narcissistic impotent little men like you many times and yet i’m still here.” The “Jennifer’s Body” actor concluded, “you f*cked with the wrong witch.”
The actor’s ex and the father of her children, Brian Austin Green, also spoke out against Starbuck’s tweet, in which the politician alleged he once saw the children’s nanny consoling them in a park after they allegedly said they didn’t want to “wear girls’ clothes.” On Saturday, Green told TMZ, “It’s a totally bogus story. There are only a few people in their world that can actually verify wether [sic] or not a story like this is true and I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not.”
In a 2022 interview with Glamour UK, Fox spoke candidly about her eldest child Noah’s decision to wear dresses and the bullying he has faced. “Noah started wearing dresses when he was about two, and I bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is,” she shared. “Some of the books are written by transgender children. Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn’t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality. So from the time they were very young, I’ve incorporated those things into their daily lives so that nobody feels like they are weird or strange or different.”
She went on to add that she sends her children to a school with as many like-minded parents as possible, and she does her best to limit the amount of time they spend on the internet. Fox also said she knows Noah “suffers” due to the reactions of others, and she wishes “humanity was not like this.” “My kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason,” she said.
