- A former congressional candidate said on Twitter that Fox forces her sons to wear dresses.
- Fox's ex-husband, Brian Austin Green, defended her and called the claim "totally bogus."
- In the past Fox has said she allows her children to express themselves.
On June 8th former US congressional candidate Robby Starbuck said on a Twitter thread that Megan Fox "forced" her sons to wear girls' clothes and that they were "inconsolable."
In his tweets, Starbuck said he lived in the same gated community as Fox and saw two of the boys have a breakdown, "saying they were forced by their mom to wear girls clothes," and that they were being consoled by their nanny. Starbuck claims this was five years ago and that he didn't say anything before because "they were so young."
Now Brian Austin Green, Fox's ex-husband and father of the three children, has come to her defense saying "It's a totally bogus story."
Austin Green says none of it is true
Chatting with TMZ in a story published Saturday, Green said none of it is true.
"There are only a few people in their world that can actually verify whether [sic] or not a story like this is true and I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not," Austin Green said. "This person trying to claim this is true is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives that does not care about negatively affecting a parent child relationship."
He also went on to call the politician "full of shit" and said he has "no idea who he is."
On Saturday Fox addressed Starbuck directly on Instagram saying, "You fucked with the wrong witch."
Fox has said before she doesn't tell her children what to wear
In September 2019, Fox sat at the table on "The View" and talked about how her oldest son Noah loves fashion. She told Sharon Osbourne that he would choose outfits for her as well as design and draw clothes. "He's very talented," Fox said.
She went on to add, "Sometimes he'll dress himself and he likes to wear dresses sometimes," and how despite him going to a "hippie" school, boys still told the 6-year-old that "boys don't wear dresses," Fox said. She added that she is trying to teach him to be confident no matter what, which triggered the audience and hosts to clap in favor of Fox.
The segment ended with Fox saying her son told her he "loves dresses too much."
In 2022, speaking to Glamour, she said that Noah started wearing dresses when he was 2 years old and that she has supported him by buying books that talk about it.
"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," Fox said.
