Megan Fox fired back after an online critic slammed her newest lingerie photos as “unbelievably embarrassing,” joking that the person behind the comment might be one of her former partners.
The 40-year-old actor posted a set of Instagram images on Thursday showing her in sheer black lingerie and a long veil, as reported by the Daily Mail. The upload arrived just months after Fox returned to Instagram in March 2026 with another set of revealing photos, further underscoring that she remains unfazed by online criticism.
Although many followers praised the upload, one harsh comment stood out — and Fox chose to answer it directly.
“This s*** is so unbelievably embarrassing for a 40 year old mom to be posting. 16 year old tumblr s***,” the Instagram user wrote.
Fox responded simply, ‘which one of my exes is this?’
In the photos, Fox posed in front of warm sunset-orange and rosy-red backgrounds, with a glowing halo-like light above her head. She struck a range of dramatic poses in the see-through set, including one where she leaned over the back of a chair with her hands together in prayer.
The post also included a blurred video of Fox licking her middle finger, echoing her memorable lighter moment from the 2009 film Jennifer’s Body.
“men would have them believe disobedience was eves vice, when it was her greatest virtue.”
Supporters quickly filled the comments section, with several calling her a ‘queen’ and applauding the photo shoot.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say then shut up you envious spiteful mice!”
Others defended her more directly while responding to the original criticism.
‘Fun fact, you can still be hot at any age’
‘You watch 16 year olds post stuff like this?’
Fox’s joke about her exes comes after several widely followed relationships. Most recently, she was involved with musician Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker. The two were together on and off for nearly five years and were engaged for part of that time before splitting in late 2024. They share a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, born in March 2025.
Fox’s comment also arrives after months of intense public attention around her personal life and social media presence, with fans and critics closely tracking each new post.
Before that relationship, Fox was married to Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Brian Austin Green. They were together for 15 years in total, including nearly a decade of marriage, before separating and finalizing their divorce in 2021.
The former couple share three sons: Noah, 13, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, nine.
Green has also drawn attention recently after reflecting on the beginning of their relationship, which started when he was 30 and Fox was 18.
Green said he ‘led with physical attraction’ in the early stages of their relationship.
He is engaged to Dancing with the Stars professional Sharna Burgess. The pair have been together since 2020 and welcomed their son, Zane, in 2022.
