Megan Fox, the actress, sparked controversy when she dressed her three sons in female clothing and shared pictures of them on Instagram, which led to a virtue-signaling debate.
Matt Walsh from The Daily Wire accused Fox of using her sons’ attire as a means to gain “clout,” “social currency,” and draw attention to herself. Walsh criticized the actress, emphasizing that she prioritized her own need for attention over the well-being of her children.
Robby Starbuck, a Tennessee Republican and former congressional candidate, alleged that he personally witnessed two of Fox’s children being coerced by their mother to wear girls’ clothes, while their nanny tried to comfort them, as reported by The Daily Wire.
As a father of six and a vocal critic of initiatives supporting gender transition, Walsh claimed that Fox was exploiting her children for the sake of gaining attention. He made these remarks during a recent episode of his show, The Matt Walsh Show.

The Daily Wire host had harsh words for Fox:
“She has perfectly and quite eloquently described her own approach to parenting. That is the only reason that you dress your boys up in girls clothes and parade them around town is because you are, quote, clout chasing. You’re trying to get attention. You’re using your sons as leverage to get attention, and you’re using them as social currency.”
Walsh continued: “Megan, like your sons aren’t even people to you. There they are. They’re fashion accessories. They’re fashion statements. They’re little tokens that you cash in at the prize counter to get more attention, more clout, virtue signal. That’s all it is.”
“You’re dehumanizing him and you’re trying to take away his boyhood, but you’re also taking away his humanity,” Walsh added. “You’re using your child in a dehumanizing way to get attention to yourself. That is the only reason that you would do that. And of course, Megan Fox will claim, well, ‘I didn’t dress my son up that way. I didn’t.’”
Walsh pointed out that Fox orchestrated this situation, saying, “A child does not go to the store by himself with his own credit card to buy his own clothing.” He said it is Fox who made the “decision to buy girl clothes for your son and to dress him in them.”
“You decided that this is what your son’s going to be because you didn’t want him to have a normal childhood,” Walsh claimed. “You didn’t care about him having a normal childhood. You didn’t, especially having a normal boyhood. You didn’t care about any of that. You don’t care if your son is happy, if your son is well-adjusted — you don’t care about your son at all.”
Brian Austin Green, who is Megan Fox’s ex-husband and was also seen wearing female clothing in some of the pictures, addressed Robby Starbuck’s allegations in a statement provided to TMZ.
Green said of Starbuck’s account: “It’s a totally bogus story. There are only a few people in their world that can actually verify whether or not a story like this is true, and I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not.”
Green added: “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.”
