After Megan Fox and ex-husband Brian Austin Green have been criticized for apparently forcing their sons to wear “girl’s clothes” they have clapped back.

“Hey [Robby Starbuck]”I really don’t want to give you that attention because you’re clearly a clout chaser, but let me teach you something,” Fox, 37, wrote about Instagram on Saturday June 10th. “Regardless of how desperate you may be at any given time for wealth, power, success or fame, never use children as leverage or social currency, especially under malicious and false pretenses. Using my child’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe.”

Starbuck — a former music video director who is currently running for Congress — tweeted photos of Fox with their children Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 6, earlier this month, claiming they used to live in the same neighborhood.

“I saw two of them have a complete meltdown and say they were made to wear girls’ clothes by their mother while their nanny was trying to comfort them,” Starbuck, 34, claimed at the time. “It’s pure child abuse.”

The transformers actress and the Beverly Hills, 90210 Alum, 49, has each denied allegations of forcing certain outfits on her children.

“It’s a completely false story. There are few people in their world who can actually verify that [sic] “Or not, such a story is true, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that it isn’t,” said Green, who also shares 21-year-old son Kassius with his ex Vanessa Marcell and son Zane, 11 months, with partner Sharna Burgess – told TMZ on Saturday. “This person trying to claim this is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives who doesn’t care about negatively affecting the parent-child relationship.”

For her part, Fox noted in her Instagram message that she’s been burned at the stake many times “by insecure, narcissistic, impotent little men” like Starbuck, but is “still here.” She concluded, “You had sex with the wrong witch.”

“My kid is so brave, my kid is so brave and I know they chose this journey for a reason,” Fox said Glamor UK In her April 2022 cover story, she noted that Noah has been wearing dresses since he was two years old. “It’s just hard being a mother. … I worry a lot [Noah’s gender expression] because I just wish humanity weren’t like that.”

The Holidays in the sun The actress continued, “From a very young age, I incorporated these things into their daily lives so no one would feel like they were weird, weird, or different. I cannot control the way other people react to my children. I cannot control and then repeat to them the things other children they go to school with have been taught. … I am so proud of my children.”
