Robby Starbuck (born February 27, 1988) is an American music video director.[1] He ran in the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Tennessee as a write in candidate and was defeated.

In June of 2023, a photo agency issued a legal threat to Starbuck after he used a copyrighted paparazzi photo of Megan Fox and her family in a social media post accusing the actress of "child abuse" for having "forced" her children to "wear girls clothes".[2] Fox responded to Starbuck's post, saying "Exploiting my child’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe."[2]

Starbuck's 2024 documentary, "The War on Children" criticizes the trans movement for allegedly "sexualizing children".[3] Several news outlets have described the film as "anti-trans"[4][5] or "anti-LGBTQ+".[6] During production of the film, a number of people whom Starbuck approached for interview alleged that he had been deceptive about the nature and subject of the film.[4][6]
