Brian Austin Green spoke out to denounce a former Congressional candidate who claimed that Megan Fox was forcing her sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 6, to “wear girls clothes,” calling the act “child abuse. “It’s totally bogus,” Green, 49, told TMZ. He also has two children, 21-year-old Kassius (with ex Vanessa Marcil) and 11-month-old Zane (with girlfriend Sharna Burgess). “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,” Green said.
“This person trying to claim this is true is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives,” he continued, “that does not care about negatively affecting a parent child relationship.” Green and Fox, who divorced in 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage, encourage their children to express themselves through fashion.

“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,” Fox relayed to Glamour in a previous interview. “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,” the actress continued. “I can’t control the way other people react to my children. I can’t control the things that other children—that they go to school with—have been taught and then repeat to them.”
