Megan Fox’s violation of SAG-AFTRA’s Halloween costume rules — where 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.
The union told members earlier this month that, in solidarity with the ongoing strike, they should avoid dressing up as studio trademarks to avoid promoting their products.
After Fox and fiancée Machine Gun Kelly attended the Casamigos Halloween party in Los Angeles on Friday dressed as characters from the Quentin Tarantino franchise, a number of Fox show business colleagues spoke out against the 37-year-old star’s display.
Fox had dressed up as a sexy version of schoolgirl killer Gogo Yubari (played by Japanese actress Chiaki Kuriyama), while Machine Gun Kelly wore the yellow jumpsuit of Uma Thurman’s The Bride character, with a katana sword in hand.
In response to a tweet about the costume, Abbott Elementary actress Lisa Ann Walter, 60, wrote: “What a rebel. Keep posing for stupid things, beautiful lady.”

She continues: ‘In the meantime, we will work 10 hours a day – unpaid – to give basic contractors a fair deal.’
In the thread of Fox’s post about the costume Saturday, actress Paige McGarvin said she wished Fox hadn’t posted the photos.
“I completely understand if you disagree with Sag and want to express that privately/to your inner circle,” McGarvin said, “but using your enormous platform to undermine the union and sow seeds of division in an incredibly public way to sow does nothing but harm us. leverage with the amptp.”
Batwoman star Ruby Rose, 37, pointed to a number of sordid scandals surrounding the Harvey Weinstein-produced film franchise that Fox and her boyfriend drew creative inspiration from.
Rose said, “Kill Bill. Harvey Weinstein. The near end of Uma Thurman and a decades-long cover-up of a car accident… The embodiment of studio power can have more than actors?! Or .. ?’
One user said: ‘Yes girl, give it to your union and try to get better wages and benefits for people less famous than you!’
One user asked about the display on social media: “Why is she being defiant towards a group that is literally fighting for her to earn a fair wage?”
Another user responded that Fox’s star status made it immune to the key issues underlying the strike.
“Because she’s Megan Fox,” the user said. “She will earn a fair wage no matter what. And she will pay the fine they imposed for this violation. The strike was aimed at smaller actors who are falling short. She doesn’t care about the strike or SAG because it doesn’t really affect her.”

The rapper also shares a daughter named Casie, 14, with his former partner Emma Cannon.
The artists eventually moved on and the couple got engaged in January last year.
