Just like every mom out there, Megan Fox is aiming to protect her children at all costs. As a Hollywood celebrity, though, it can be much more difficult than the average person to shield your child from the cruel, harsh realities of the world.
Now, the 34-year-old mom of three is opening up about how she protects her son from online trolls, and real-world bullies, who attack him for wearing dresses.
As fans may know, Megan has three sons with ex-husband Brian Austin Green — 8-year-old Noah Shannon, 7-year-old Bodhi Ransom, and 4-year-old Journey River.
During an appearance on The Talk in 2019, Megan explained that her eldest son Noah is "really into fashion" and said he often wears whatever he wants to school, including dresses, despite receiving negative comments from his classmates.
"And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there — here in California — he still has little boys going, 'Boys don't wear dresses,' or 'Boys don't wear pink.'"
"He just wore one two days ago to school, and he came home and I was like, 'How was it? Did any of the friends at school have anything to say?' " recalled Fox.
During that same television appearance, Megan explained Noah will sometimes give his input on his mom's outfits.
"I did one recently and I had this really beautiful yellow dress on, and he kept draping it in a way where he's like, 'If we do it like this, it looks like a diaper!'"
As for dad Brian Austin Green, he has also expressed his support for his eldest son in the past.
"My son, he's 4," BAG explained at the time, as per People. "I've heard from some people that they don't agree with him wearing dresses. To them I say, I don't care. He's 4 and if he wants to wear it, then he wears it."
Now, Megan is opening up to InStyle about the criticism her eldest son faces online, saying he gets ripped apart online by "mean, awful people and cruel people."
While it's so horrible her son faces that type of discrimination, it's awesome that she supports him so wholeheartedly.
What a great mom she is!
