Megan Fox has set the record straight about the satanic cult rumors that have plagued her for the past few years.
In July 2020, Fox and the actor and rapper Machine Gun Kelly confirmed they were dating, and they have referred to each other as “twin flames.” For years, people have speculated about the nature of their relationship, with many believing they are part of a satanic cult. This speculation hit a fever pitch in 2021 when Kelly said in an interview that Fox had given him a necklace with a drop of her blood inside.
Adding fuel to the fire, Fox said she and Kelly had a blood-drinking ritual. She told Glamour UK in 2022: “So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood. It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”
On March 20, Fox appeared on Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, to try to clear things up—and no, she’s “not a Satanist” or an “evil witch.”
Newsweek has contacted a spokesperson for Fox via email for comment.
“There was just like that one time that I said drink blood ritualistically, and then everybody was like, ‘Wow, she’s into satanic rituals.’ But that was a very misunderstood thing. Let me try and explain it,” she said on the podcast.
Fox continued: “Everything is a matter of what you’re accustomed to or what is currently socially acceptable or normal. Back in the ’50s even, how many times would you see—little boys would go out with their popguns, and they would cut their fingers and be blood brothers, right? And be like, ‘We’re best friends forever now.’ And they would smush the blood together on their fingers. That’s not satanic, right? That’s normal. That’s cute. That’s sweet. That’s like an innocent … little bond between kids who love each other, and they have a pure friendship.
“It’s like that, except instead of rubbing your fingers together, the drop of blood goes in your mouth, and I don’t know why that becomes satanic.”
Fox went on to say she had never been a part of a satanic ritual and did not know whether the illuminati was real. She said that if it were real, she would have been asked to join by now.
While Fox denied the rumors, she said she could “see where I planted a seed, and there grew a tree in its place.”
For Halloween 2022, Kelly dressed up as a priest holding a leash that was connected to a collar Fox wore. She said in the podcast that the costume probably exacerbated the satanism rumors.
“I think we exacerbated it because of Halloween of that year, I dressed up in bondage with a dog collar around my neck, and he dressed up as a priest, and he was feeding me Communion on my knees,” she said.
“[Kelly] didn’t want me to clarify,” she continued, adding, “It’s so much cooler that people think we’re this bizarre, that we’re this weird. That we’re doing this kind of weird, magical, weird s*** in our basement.”
In June, Fox responded to Robby Starbuck, a music-video director and former Congress hopeful in Nashville, Tennessee, after he said she forced her sons to wear dresses and then accused her of witchcraft.
Starbuck criticized the Transformers actor after pH๏τos appeared of her with her sons wearing what appeared to be dresses or pink-colored clothing. Fox has three sons—Noah, Bodhi, and Journey—with her former husband, the actor Brian Austin Green.
“These are Megan Fox’s sons. We used to live in the same gated community and our kids played at the park. I saw 2 of them have a full on breakdown saying they were forced by their mom to wear girls clothes as their nanny tried to console them. It’s pure child abuse. Pray for them,” Starbuck wrote on June 8. The X post has since been deleted.
Fox responded to Starbuck’s accusations in an Instagram post where she called him a “clout chaser.”
“Really don’t want to give you this attention because clearly you’re a clout chaser but let me teach you something. Irregardless of how desperate you may become at any given time to acquire wealth, power, success, or fame—never use children as leverage or social currency, especially under malevolent and erroneous pretense,” she wrote. This post has also since been deleted or archived.
