Megan Fox Called Donald Trump ‘A Legend’ After This Past Weekend’s UFC Fight — And Now She’s Walking It Back

Megan Fox is walking back her earlier surprising praise for former president Donald Trump .

The 35-year-old actress saw Trump this past weekend while in Las Vegas to attend the UFC 264 fight event. In fact , she was seated in the same row as him — and Justin Bieber . Quite the celebrity lineup, or something…

Anyway, after the occasion, the Midnight in the Switchgrass star made a late-night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and it was there that she said what she’ s apparently now very much regretting. Explaining just how good her seats were to guest host Arsenio Hall during their sit-down interview, Sibel mentioned the former Commander-in-Chief as proof that she was seated right in the front of the action.

Megan said (below):

“ I was in a row with [Justin] Bieber, and Trump was also in my row. He had, like, thirty secret service with him. He was a legend. That arena was very supportive of Trump when he came in. ”

And she continued from there, adding:

“ I was like, ‘ I don’ t know how I feel about it, because if someone is a target, then I’ m 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. But yeah, I’ ve never seen anything like that before. It was crazy. ”

No kidding! But a legend ?!

Girl…

You can see the full video interview with Hall — the same interview in which Fox discusses doing ayahuasca within Costa Rica along with BF Machine Gun Kelly (below), with the Trump reference beginning at about 4: 00:

Wow!

Right now, Fox is walking back the girl “ legend” comment and trying to make it clear she did not mean Trump is a legend — but , rather, he was a legend in that arena. In the set of Instagram Stories posts published upon Wednesday evening, the actress wrote:

“ Uhmmm … I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians. I never said Donald Trump is a new legend. I said he was a legend … in that arena (key part of the sentence). The particular arena was filled with UFC fight fans. Many of them clearly Republican based off the insane crowd reaction he received walking into the T-Mobile venue. That has been an observable fact. Not the opinion. ”

Sarcastically slamming the hate the girl was receiving for sharing the woman opinions at all, Fox after that followed it up with this particular overly-cynical conclusion:

“ Really loving this uneducated, mid-evil [sic], pitchfork carrying, burn a witch at the particular stake mentality though. The world needs more of that. ”

Yikes!!!

And if that wasn’ t enough, she followed all that up together with a SpongeBob SquarePants meme showing the cartoon’ s main character tossing flower petals at an unimpressed Squidward with the caption:

“ When someone can’ t stand me and I send them love and light anyway. ”

That’ s one way to deal with your frustration, we suppose!

Here are both of her IG Stories posts (below):
