Megan Fox has responded to a fake post that went viral, which made it appear that she was pushing against wearing masks. As the pandemic continues to run rampant across the globe, mask-wearing has become paramount in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

In the fake post, the account intended to look like Fox’s wrote that she was choosing not to wear a mask because she wanted to “trust the universe” to keep her family and friends safe.

It turns out the viral post of Megan Fox’s supposed statement regarding mask wearing is fake.

Fox later debunked the post and was taken aback by how easily people were ready to believe it and slander her. 

Megan Fox reacts to going viral over photoshopped statement about not wearing masks:

“I’ve never made any statements regarding wearing masks. Scary that you can go viral and possibly be socially crucified for something you haven’t done,” she wrote on her Instagram story, responding to the falsified post. “The internet is so FUN.” 

It seems the fake account took one of Fox’s posts from 2014 and paired it with the fake caption that suggested not wearing masks. But beyond fake posts, Fox is currently enjoying the fruits of her relationship with artist Machine Gun Kelly, revealing that they have a “once in a lifetime thing” in a profile for Nylon
