Megan Fox’s violation of SAG-AFTRA’s Halloween costume rules – in which she dressed up as a Kill Bill character and posted it on social media and tagged the union in the post – was not well received.
Earlier this month, the union told its members that they should avoid dressing up as studio characters to promote their products in solidarity with the ongoing strike.
After Fox and his fiancé Machine Gun Kelly attended the Casamigos Halloween party in Los Angeles on Friday dressed as characters from the Quentin Tarantino series, several of Fox’s show business colleagues spoke out against the 37-year-old star’s appearance.
Fox dressed as a sexy version of schoolgirl assassin Gogo Yubari (played by Japanese actress Chiaki Kuriyama), while Machine Gun Kelly wore the yellow jumpsuit of Uma Thurman’s character The Bride and carried a katana sword.
In response to a tweet about the costume, Abbott Elementary actress Lisa Ann Walter, 60, wrote, “What a rebel. “Keep posing for stupid shit pretty lady.”

She continued: “Meanwhile, we will be working 10 hours a day – unpaid – to ensure basic contract recipients receive a fair wage.”
In the thread surrounding Fox’s post of the costume on Saturday, actress Paige McGarvin said she wished Fox hadn’t posted the pictures.
“I completely understand if you disagree with sag and want to express this privately/in your inner circle,” McGarvin said, “but using your massive platform to undermine the union and sow the seeds of division in an incredibly public way sowing only harms us.’Leverage with the Amptp.’
Batwoman star Ruby Rose, 37, pointed to a series of sordid scandals surrounding the Harvey Weinstein-produced film series from which Fox and her boyfriend drew their creative inspiration.
Rose said, “Kill Bill.” Harvey Weinstein. The near end of Uma Thurman and a decades-long car accident cover-up… The epitome of the power studios can have over actors?! Or .. ?’
One user said: “Yeah girl, give it to your union and try to get better wages and benefits for people less known than you!”
One user asked on social media, “Why is she opposing a group that is literally fighting for her to get a fair wage?”
Another user responded that Fox’s star status made her immune to the core issues of the walkout.
“Because she’s Megan Fox,” the user said. “She will still get a fair wage.” And she will pay the fine they imposed for this violation. The strike was aimed at smaller actors who are experiencing shortages. They don’t care about the strike or SAG because it doesn’t really affect them.’

The actress was previously married to Brian Austin Green, with whom she has sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 6.
