The Transformers actress is also not new to media attention and controversies. Her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly has often been in the headlines and oftentimes, it was due to their unique way of showing affection for each other. 

Sean Strickland’s Controversial Comments and Megan Fox’s DM

This time Sean Strickland’s outspoken nature has landed him before Megan Fox‘s protective instincts, and both recently had a surprising exchange on DMs.

Strickland has been under the radar of critics who sometimes find his comments misogynistic and controversial. But his feud with Fox and Machine Gun Kelly began earlier this year when they met at an event of Power Slap. Stickland, as usual, didn’t hold back his words and commented on MGK’s look, which apparently seemed like a vampire to him.

MGK didn’t take his words lightly, and they almost got into a serious altercation. However, after that happened, Strickland went onto X and made a series of posts where he was even asking Fox if she needed assistance to save herself from the “vampire” MGK.

In a recent interview on the Verse Us with Eric Nicksick podcast, Strickland said that Fox actually DMed him after all that happened. The message was almost like a request from her side to stop the online bullying that she and her kids were facing. Strickland said,

The message was actually really kind of f*cked up. It was more like, ‘Hey, you know what, my kids get bullied, and I get bullied online because you said they’re trans, and like, they’re not trans. They just want to dress like rockstars.’

Strickland also seemed to be surprised by Fox’s words and was almost sorry for her. But staying true to his nature, he said,

I’m sorry Megan, I’ll shut the f*ck up about it. But you still drink blood and sh*t. You still do a lot of weird sh*t, Megan.

Strickland was referring to the time when Fox revealed that she and MGK drank each other’s blood. Later, Fox had to clarify to Glamour UK that they did it for ritual purposes only. Besides that, Strickland is also infamous for his strong words against the LGBTQ+ community, which have been directed toward Fox’s kids after their beef.

Sean Strickland Also Commented on Megan Fox and MGK’s Split

After their altercation, Strickland talked about what happened in that Power Slap event in Las Vegas later on his YouTube channel. His words hinted that he had no idea who MGK was before all that happened. He expressed his disappointment after knowing Fox was with him, as he said,

I met a vampire, apparently guy dating Megan Fox. You had some Transformers with a broken down car. I don’t know what happened to Megan Fox, but something happened to Megan Fox.

He later opened up about how things got heated. After Strickland made a comment on his attire, MGK looked at him as if he “was less than human.” This triggered the former UFC champion, and he was eager to “humble” MGK then and there. However, days after all that happened, rumors of MGK-Fox splitting up began circulating.

Strickland was quick to address that. He took to X and asked his followers to credit him for “saving” Megan Fox from MGK. A few days later, Fox herself revealed their split up on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March 2024. Although she didn’t mention Strickland’s name directly, she said,

I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption.

Fox also said MGK is kind of her “twin soul” and she will “always be connected to him somehow.” However, whether it is DMs from Hollywood stars or altercations with musicians, it is safe to say that Sean Strickland never has a dull moment in and out of the octagon.
