Megan Fox has set the record straight after referring to Donald Trump as a "legend" at UFC 264.
The actress, 35, took to her Instagram story on Wednesday (July 14) to elaborate on her comments about the former president after appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week to reveal what she and her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly have been up to.
While on the show guest host Arsenio Hall asked her about attending the UFC 264, which was attended by many other high-profile celebrities including Donald Trump.
She explained that the crowd greeted him as a "legend".
Watch the interview with Fox below:"I was in a row with Bieber and Trump was also in my row. I'd never seen the Secret Service in person before so he had like 30 Secret Service with him. He was a legend. That arena was very supportive of Trump when he came in," she said.
Fox had explained that it was the other fans in the arena who were giving Trump a positive reaction.
She added: "I don't know how I feel about it, because if someone is a target then like, I could be harmed because I'm adjacent to where he is. So I was worried about my own safety, that's all I was caring about. I'd never seen anything like that before. It was crazy."
However, her "legend" comment did not go down well with many, who accused the actress of supporting the controversial former president, and she has now explained exactly what she meant by the remark.
"UHMMM… I DO NOT ALIGN MYSELF WITH ANY POLITICAL PARTY OR INDIVIDUAL POLITICIANS," she wrote. "I NEVER SAID DONALD TRUMP IS A LEGEND. I SAID HE WAS A LEGEND… IN THAT ARENA (KEY PART OF THE SENTENCE)."
Fox continued: "THE ARENA WAS FILLED WITH UFC FIGHT FANS. MANY OF THEM CLEARLY REPUBLICAN BASED OFF THE INSANE CROWD REACTION HE RECEIVED WALK-MOBILE VENUE. THAT WAS AN OBSERVABLE FACT. NOT MY OPINION."
The actress went on to conclude her statement by likening how she has been treated for the comment to a medieval witch hunt.
She wrote: "REALLY LOVING THIS UNEDUCATED, MID-EVIL [sic] PITCH FORK CARRYING, BURN THE WITCH AT THE STAKE MENTALITY THOUGH. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF THAT."
