Megan Fox says ‘no third party’ in Machine Gun Kelly drama — and media can pound sand

Megan Fox has stated in no uncertain terms that no third person — and no third thing — has gotten between her and musician Machine Gun Kelly, who have reportedly been working through some issues in the days since Super Bowl weekend.

The actor, who deactivated her Instagram account around that time, returned to the site Sunday with a post that indirectly defended her maybe-still-fiance's bandmate, guitarist Sophie Lloyd.

“There has been no third party interference in this relationship of any kind,” the 36-year-old wrote to her nearly 21 million followers. “That includes, but is not limited to ... actual humans, DMs, AI bots or succubus demons.”

Fox continued: “While I do hate to rob you of running random baseless news stories that would have been much more accurately written by ChatGPT, you need to let this story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now.”

Fox and her 32-year-old beau apparently had a “big fight” in Phoenix on Feb. 11, the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend in Phoenix, Us Weekly reported. And Fox reportedly left town instead early of staying for his performance at a party.

Fox started her social-media purge by deleting Instagram photos of her and MGK together and unfollowing her fiance. Then she posted Beyoncé lyrics that referred to a Jay-Z affair: “You can taste the dishonesty / it’s all over your breath.” Then she nuked her account entirely.

Before killing her Instagram, Fox responded to a fan who commented “He probably got with Sophie” by saying, “Maybe I got with Sophie.”

Last week was full of stories reporting on the couple’s falling out, with possible infidelity a major theme. People reported last Tuesday that the couple “haven’t officially called off the engagement but Megan took her ring off. They have had issues in the past, but things seem pretty serious this time.”

TMZ spotted them in a car together Wednesday, and the Daily Mail reported the same day that they spent two-and-a-half hours at a marriage counseling office.

Page Six reported Friday that Fox had found “suspicious texts and DMs” on MGK’s phone and quoted an unnamed source as saying they had broken up, “but Megan is seeing where they stand. She wants to see what they can salvage.” The same source said the musician “really wants to make up.”

Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Fox in January 2022, after which the affianced couple allegedly drank each other’s blood.

Fox was previously married to actor Brian Austin Green, with whom she has three sons.
