Megan Fox was not about to stand by while UFC fighter Sean Strickland disrespected her boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly, and her children. The actress took matters into her own hands after Strickland made inflammatory comments that crossed a line for Fox.
The tension between Strickland and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) began earlier this year when the two had a heated exchange at a Power Slap event. However, things escalated when Strickland took his disdain for MGK public.
Last month, Strickland urged his followers to boycott Harley Davidson after the motorcycle company featured MGK in a concert. But Strickland didn’t stop there—he went on to mock Fox’s children, who had dressed up in what he considered unconventional outfits.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Strickland wrote: “You promote MGK.. the guy who dresses his boys like girls and does blood rituals…… Time to sell that harley stock while it’s up.” He further criticized Harley Davidson’s leadership, suggesting that the company had adopted a “woke agenda” and urged them to “turn back.”
These comments didn’t sit well with Fox, who is fiercely protective of her children. During a recent podcast appearance, Strickland revealed that Fox had confronted him directly through Instagram DMs. According to Strickland, Fox’s message was firm and to the point, addressing the impact his words were having on her family.

“So she hit me up and I was like, ‘Fame level reached,'” Strickland recalled. He described the message as “kind of f–ked up,” explaining that Fox expressed her frustration with how his comments had contributed to online bullying. “She said, ‘Hey, you know what, my kids get bullied, and I get bullied online because you said they’re trans, and like, they’re not trans. They just want to dress like rock stars,’” Strickland recounted. Realizing the harm his words had caused, Strickland admitted, “I’m just like, ‘Sorry, Megan, I’ll shut the f— up about it.’”
Fox’s response highlights her commitment to defending her family, especially when it comes to protecting her children from harmful and baseless comments. Her willingness to confront Strickland directly underscores the lengths she will go to ensure her loved ones are treated with respect, even in the face of public scrutiny.
This incident serves as a reminder of the power of words and the responsibility public figures have when using their platforms. Strickland’s admission of guilt, however late, also shows that even those who often appear brash and unapologetic can recognize when they’ve crossed a line.
Meanwhile, Fox’s actions exemplify the strength and resilience she brings to her role as both a partner and a mother.
