During Monday’s episode Fox discussed her experience at the UFC 264 in Las Vegas with guest host Arsenio Hall, revealing she and the former president were sat in the same row.
"I was in a row with Bieber, and Trump was also in my row," the 35-year-old said. "He had, like, thirty secret service with him.”
"He was a legend," Megan added. "That arena was very supportive of Trump when he came in.” She went on to say, "I was like, I don't know how I feel about it, because if someone is a target, then I'm like, I could be harmed because I'm adjacent to where he is. So I was worried about my own safety, that's all I was caring about. But yeah, I've never seen anything like that before. It was crazy.”
From there things escalated, as the internet often does, spurring much criticism for the Till Death actress for those “legend” remarks. So, not being one to ever sit back and take the BS, Megan hoped on IG to further explain what she meant and let her intentions be known.
"Uhmmm… I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians," she wrote in an IG story. "I never said Donald Trump is a legend. I said he was a legend… in that arena (key part of the sentence). The arena was filled with UFC fight fans. Many of them clearly Republican based off the insane crowd reaction he received walking into the T-Mobile venue. That was an observable fact," she added. "Not my opinion.”
Finishing off in true Megan Fox fashion, she said, “Really loving this uneducated, mid-evil, pitch fork carrying, burn a witch at the stake mentality though. The world needs more of that." With an added purple heart, sparkle and lips emojis.
Clearly not done and not finished she followed up her statement with a second post to her Story of a meme showing SpongeBob SquarePants tossing flower petals at an unimpressed Squidward, which read: "When someone can't stand me and I send them love and light anyway."
For those wondering, yes her comments about the UFC match were shared during that same colorful interview in which she also told Arsenio all about that time she and boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly went to Costa Rica to try ayahuasca and things got weird.
