Megan Fox has opened about her young son’s bullying experience, saying he gets picked on for choosing to wear a dress to school.
Noah, 8, has often been on the receiving end of vicious comments on social media for being pictured in a dress.
During an interview with InStyle, the actress opened up about her son’s experience where she revealed that Noah has been targeted by “mean, awful people and cruel people” online.
Megan told the publication: “I don’t want him to ever have to read that s**t because he hears it from little kids at his own school who are like, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses.’”
She has also opened up previous to his about her son’s love of fashion and creativity, saying that he loves to design his own outfits.
During an appearance on The View in 2019, she added that he liked to wear dresses occasionally – but had faced cruel comments from other children.
She said: “He’s really into fashion. Sometimes he’ll dress himself and he likes to wear dresses sometimes.
“I send him to a really liberal, hippy school but even there, here in California, he still has little boys going like, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses,’ or ‘Boys don’t wear pink.’ And so we’re going through that now where I’m trying to teach him to be confident no matter what.”
“He had stopped wearing dresses for a while – 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?’
“And he was like, ‘Well all the boys laughed when I came in,’ but he’s like, ‘I don’t care, I love dresses too much.’”
In 2017, Megan faced a huge backlash after she shared a photo of Noah wearing a Frozen dress.
Vile bullies accused her of “promoting gay perversion” and said she was destroying “traditional gender roles”.
