Megan Fox, 40, clapped back at a commenter who told her to cover up.
The actress posed for a steamy Instagram shoot in a latex bandeau top, leather chaps with fur trim from the knees down, a black thong, and an oversized green shearling coat that slipped off one shoulder. She accessorized with dark sunglasses and a chunky black choker, standing in front of a bright blue G-Wagon despite the nighttime setting.
Fox recently returned to Instagram after deleting her account following her breakup with Machine Gun Kelly, and her comeback posts have consistently featured skin-baring looks in her signature black.
One user commented on her latest post, “How does she look so good after just having a baby??,” referring to 17-month-old daughter Saga Blade, whom Fox shares with the “Tickets to My Downfall” singer. Fox also has three older children — Noah, 13, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 9 — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, 51.
Another commenter took a harsher tone, writing, “You’re still really pretty, but You’re already old. You should’ve taken your clothes off more while you were young. Nobody wants to see a 40-year-old woman almost naked.”
“Then don’t look, sis,” Fox fired back in the comments section.
The exchange marked the second time in recent weeks that Fox has directly confronted ageist criticism on her posts. Last month, a user wrote beneath her Instagram photos, “This s–t is so unbelievably embarrassing for a 40 year old mom to be posting. 16 year old tumblr s–t.”
“Which one of my exes is this,” she shot back at the time.
Fox and MGK, 35, ended their engagement earlier this year after an on-and-off relationship that began in 2020. The pair met while filming the movie “Midnight in the Switchgrass” and got engaged in January 2022, with MGK proposing using a ring he claimed contained thorns that would hurt if she tried to remove it.
The “Jennifer’s Body” star has been increasingly visible on social media since their split, sharing a series of bold fashion-forward posts that have drawn both praise and criticism from followers. Her return to Instagram comes after she wiped her account clean during the tumultuous final months of her relationship with the musician.
In the viral moment that preceded this latest clapback, Fox had already established her pattern of refusing to let commenters dictate what she should or shouldn’t post at her age. The earlier exchange, where she suggested her critic might be one of her former partners, similarly turned the attention back on the commenter rather than defending her choices.
The actress first rose to fame in the 2007 blockbuster “Transformers” and has since maintained a career marked by both action roles and horror-comedy performances, including her cult-favorite turn in “Jennifer’s Body.” Her personal life has frequently intersected with her public persona, from her marriage to Green to her highly publicized relationship with MGK.
Fox’s recent posts suggest she has no intention of toning down her image as she enters her forties, instead using the platform to engage directly with those who question her choices.
The “Till Death” star has not announced any upcoming film projects, though she remains active on social media where her fashion posts continue to generate significant engagement.
