Megan Fox called out US politician Robby Starbuck after he accused the Transformers star of forcing her sons to “wear girls clothes”.

“I really don’t want to give you this attention because clearly youre a clout chaser,” Fox wrote via Instagram, alongside a screenshot of the former Congress candidate’s tweet. “but let me teach you something …

“irregardless 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,” she added, reports Page Six.

Fox – who shares sons Noah Shannon, 10, Bodhi Ransom, 9, and Journey River, 6 with ex-husband Brian Austin Green – further slammed Starbuck, writing that his attempt at “exploiting” her “child’s gender identity” has put him on “the wrong side of the universe”.

“i have been burned at the stake by insecure, narcissistic, impotent, little men like you many times, and yet i’m still here,” Fox, 37, added. “You f***ed with the wrong witch.”

Starbuck, a self-proclaimed “free thinker,” posted the inflammatory tweet Thursday using a photo of Fox walking behind her sons.

“We used to live in the same gated community and our kids played at the park,” he claimed. “I saw 2 of them have a full on breakdown saying they were forced by their mum to wear girls clothes as their nanny tried to console them.”

In a separate tweet, Starbuck added that the alleged incident occurred five years ago and that a nanny and an additional witness were present.

Starbuck, whose Twitter bio notes that he works as a director and producer, claimed that the “breakdown” was just with one of Fox’s children before “the other one chimed in”.

“3rd child was not involved. We knew California wouldn’t do anything about it because the state celebrates this stuff and she’s famous.”

He went on to claim he has worked on a film with Fox in the past, writing that the actress was “very nice” to him, which is why he was “shocked” about the incident with her sons later on.

“Just a very weird situation but clearly those boys weren’t happy,” Starbuck continued.

“I never said anything publicly because they were so young and I thought it would stop because they were vocally expressing the desire to wear ‘boy clothes.’”

Green also shut down the former politician’s claims on Saturday.

“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,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 star told TMZ.

“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.”

In April 2022, Fox – who is now dating musician Machine Gun Kelly – shared that her son Noah has been bullied for wearing dresses in the past.

“I do have a child that suffers. I have a lot of worries about that, because I just wish that humanity was not like this,” Fox told Glamour UK.

“Although my kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason. It’s just hard as a mum.”
