Machine Gun Kelly grabbed attention by brandishing a prop sword at a photographer on the red carpet. Kelly, 33, along with his fiancée Megan Fox, politely requested to not be photographed upon their arrival at Darren Dzienciol's Pop Icons Halloween Party on Friday, October 27. Despite their reluctance, they were compelled to walk the red carpet as it was the sole entrance to the private estate in Beverly Hills, an insider disclosed.
However, the situation took a drastic turn when a photographer captured a photo. A confidential source revealed that the individual behind the lens was then met with an alarming reaction. Without a moment's hesitation, the person in question brandished their sword menacingly towards the photographer, leaving them feeling threatened and vulnerable. It was later disclosed that the sword in question was actually a replica from Quentin Tarantino's film "Kill Bill Vol. 1," specifically the one used by Uma Thurman's character, The Bride. Kelly, assuming the persona of The Bride, directly confronted the photographer, using strong language and exclaiming, "I explicitly stated my disapproval of any photographs, you disrespecting individual."
“Essentially, he instructed him to lower his camera and confronted him directly,” the source disclosed.
Following the incident, Fox, aged 37, simply desired to retreat indoors. As for Kelly, he ultimately departed from the scene following a brief, intense altercation.
According to an insider, Fox was already in a negative mood and wasn't interested in attending another event after the Casamigos Halloween party earlier in the evening. The source mentioned that she agreed to stay for a limited time but didn't want to go from one party to another. Additionally, Fox didn't want to be seen wearing the same costume at multiple events. For the night, Fox chose to channel the Kill Bill franchise by dressing up as Gogo Yubari, the schoolgirl assassin portrayed by Chiaki Kuriyama. She sported a black wig, white platform boots with knee-high socks, and had painted blood on her cheeks.
Both Fox and Kelly caused a stir with their choice of costumes, seemingly disregarding the SAG-AFTRA strike rules. Despite the guild's request for members to only dress up as characters from non-struck content and refrain from sharing photos of costumes inspired by struck content on social media, Fox took to Instagram on Friday to share a picture of herself in the Kill Bill ensemble, tagging the official SAG-AFTRA account in her caption.
Prior incidents have shown that Megan Fox has been involved in altercations alongside her soon-to-be husband Machine Gun Kelly. During the 2021 MTV VMAs, Fox had to restrain Kelly during a verbal altercation with UFC fighter Conor McGregor. In July, the couple found themselves in a physical altercation with a stranger at the Orange County Fair in California. Fox was caught in the middle of the brawl, being pushed into a railing when the unidentified man attempted to strike her fiance. Fortunately, both Kelly and Fox emerged from the incident unharmed.
Two months earlier, Tyson Ritter, the frontman of All American Rejects, recounted a heated encounter he had with Kelly on an episode of the "Tuna on Toast With Stryker" podcast. Ritter, who is 39 years old, was co-starring with Fox in the movie Johnny & Clyde and visited her trailer to discuss ideas for their characters.
"Upon arriving at Megan's trailer, I found her accompanied by her partner, Colson, whom you may know as Machine Gun Kelly. I jokingly referred to him as 'Pistol Pete,'" Ritter revealed during the episode in May. He mentioned that he asked Fox if he could have his fingers in her mouth during her character's death scene, which apparently did not sit well with Kelly.
"Colson quickly escalates from calm to a state of intense anger," he remarked. "He became extremely upset when I asked if I could place my fingers in Megan Fox's mouth, especially since she was right there. He completely lost control and exhibited wild behavior."
Kelly and Fox, who initiated their relationship in May 2020, have experienced various challenges and fluctuations as a couple. Recently, an exclusive source informed Us that the "twin flames" have yet to set a wedding date.
“Although MGK and Megan initially had plans for their wedding, they have currently put the plans on hold,” disclosed the inside source. The source clarified that despite this, the couple is still strongly committed to each other. However, they are not enthusiastic about resuming the wedding planning process at the moment. As a result, no specific date has been chosen for the wedding, and they are no longer actively searching for venues.
Kelly and Fox became acquainted while working together on the set of "Midnight in the Switchgrass" in 2020. Shortly after, Brian Austin Green confirmed his separation from Fox. (Green, aged 50, and Fox were married for almost a decade and have three sons, Noah (11), Bodhi (9), and Journey (7). Their divorce was finalized in February 2022.)
In January 2022, Kelly and Fox confirmed their engagement after walking “through hell together” during their relationship.
