Megan Fox hit back at an ageist social media comment after sharing lingerie photos on Instagram, jokingly asking if the critic was one of her exes.
Megan Fox responds to age-shaming comment
The 40-year-old actress posted a series of photos on Instagram on Thursday, July 16, showing herself in a black mesh bandeau top, lace underwear and a sheer veil. Captioning the post, Fox wrote, "Men would have them believe disobedience was Eve's vice, when it was her greatest virtue."
One commenter criticised the photos, writing that it was "unbelievably embarrassing" for a "40 year old mom" to share such images on social media.
Fox responded directly, quipping, "which one of my exes is this."
Fans rally behind actress
The exchange quickly drew hundreds of replies, with many fans defending the actress against the age-based criticism.
One supporter commented that "you can still be hot at any age," while another wrote, "You're acting like she's 80."
Fox is a mother of four. She shares sons Noah, Bodhi and Journey with ex-husband Brian Austin Green and daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker with former partner Machine Gun Kelly.
Instagram return after social media break
The post comes months after Fox returned to Instagram following a lengthy hiatus. She rejoined the platform in April, sharing a series of glamorous photos after previously clearing her account in 2024 to mark her 38th birthday.
The actress has continued posting fashion-forward looks since her return, while maintaining an active presence with her more than 24 million followers.
