Megan Fox has been hit with a wave of backlash after some fans were left furious due to her "insensitive" Halloween costume.

Halloween is the time of year when celebrities treat us to their weird and wonderful costumes, and some are much better than others.

Heidi Klum usually wins the best costume of the year away - which isn't real and I just made it up, but she deserves it.

But this year, 37-year-old Megan Fox is under fire from her fans for her latest Instagram post featuring a striking Halloween costume inspired by Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

The actress, who donned the iconic Gogo Yubari outfit, shared the controversial photo alongside her boyfriend, rapper Machine Gun Kelly, causing quite a stir among her followers.

What makes this costume choice particularly contentious is Fox's brazen decision to tag the official page of the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) in her post.

The timing of her gesture is noteworthy, as it coincides with an ongoing strike by members of the performers' union, who have been advocating for better wages, job stability, and control over AI use in the entertainment industry since July 14.

SAG-AFTRA recently issued guidelines for actors participating in the strike, instructing them to refrain from dressing up as characters from struck works, including popular movies and TV shows, and posting such photos on social media during the Halloween season. Fox's costume and her decision to ignore these directives have ignited a fiery backlash from her fans.

Safe to say, people were not happy with Megan's choice of costume, as one person wrote: "You look amazing but i wish you didn’t post this. I totally understand if you disagree with sag and want to voice that privately / to your inner circle, but using your massive platform to undermine the union and sow seeds of division in an incredibly public way does nothing but hurt our leverage."

A second said: "Why is she being defiant to a group that's literally fighting for her to make a fair wage?

While a third added: "Yes girl give it to your union trying to get better wages and benefits for lesser known people than [you]!"

This isn't the first time that Megan's Halloween costumes have caused controversy, as last year she and MGK decided to dress up in costumes that "mocked" the Catholic faith.

The pair donned a Roman Catholic-inspired ensemble that left many viewers divided. MGK wore striking black and red priest's robes, while Megan was in latex lingerie, fishnet tights, and even wore a chain leash.

Fox captioned the eyebrow-raising post, "On Sunday's we take communion," along with a picture of herself kneeling as MGK feeds her a communion wafer. The couple also shared a video showcasing their matching outfits, with MGK captioning it, "God bless you."

Safe to say, the pair aren't shy when it comes to Halloween.
