Claim 2: “Megan Fox... has not one, not two, but three sons — ages 9 to 13 — who have been photographed out and about with her sporting long pink hair, dresses and shirts with messages about “Strong girls.””
MISLEADING
While evidence confirms Megan Fox's son Noah has worn dresses since age 2, the claim that she has 'three sons' who are all photographed in dresses and 'Strong girls' shirts is not fully corroborated. Evidence specifically focuses on Noah. One source mentions '3 Trans Kids' in a Facebook headline, but the detailed reports only specify Noah's preference for dresses.
