Megan Fox has caused controversy after sharing an image on Instagram featuring herself, Machine Gun Kelly, Taylor Swift and NFL Travis Kelce, seemingly at a Super Bowl after-party. The caption read “like a Ukrainian blowup doll” and “one of those super expensive real sex dolls you can only get in Japan”. Instagram users were quick to criticize the caption and call out the humor’s xenophobic nature in Hollywood.
Some social media users pointed out that Megan’s caption was a clear example of xenophobia towards Eastern Europeans. Ukrainian women in particular have gained fame for their strength and heroism in the face of the ongoing conflict in their country. Many took offense to the offhand comment and called her out on it.
Megan responded to one user’s comment with an attempt to clear the air. She noted that she did not intend to come off as xenophobic. The actress stated her reason behind the caption was to praise Ukrainian women, who she described as “hot af.” She also explained that the comment was intended as a joke to be taken light-heartedly.
Megan also addressed some speculation around another photo from the same night, where the lighting made her facial bone structure look more defined. Some fans on social media had questioned whether she had undergone plastic surgery, an accusation to which Megan responded. She clarified that it was simply a shadowy cell phone pic and playfully ignited the blowup doll joke again.
