Megan Fox has responded to criticism about how her face looks to have undergone tons of plastic surgery when photos of her surfaced following the Super Bowl. The Jennifer’s Body alum was recently photographed at a Super Bowl after party with her beau, Machine Gun Kelly, along with Taylor Swift and her man, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Taking her response to Instagram, Fox posted two photos on Wednesday (February 14) of their night out with the caption: “oh my god guys look how different i…dont look at all. turns out it was just a shadowy cell phone pic of me looking like a ukrainian blowup doll. when in REALITY i look like one of those super expensive silicone real sex dolls you can only get in japan [hair flip emoji].”
One person commented on her post, with over 16,000 likes: “it’s very rude of you to speak like that about Ukrainian women, that’s how you showed yourself.” Meanwhile, one person added, “I guess xenophobia towards Eastern European is still a thing in Hollywood.” Another wrote: “It’s disgraceful to offend any women, but offending Ukrainian women, who now stand as icon of strength and heroism in the brutal war, is absolutely disgusting !!!!” A fan wrote: “Babe Ukraine is being annihilated in a war unprovoked. Pls can we just focus on that. Maybe raise awareness for that x just a thought x.” One person stated: “Distasteful comment about Ukraine.” Another person commented, “i guess fillers finally got to the brain.” Commenting on the post, another fans asked, “Is xenophobia and misogyny towards Ukrainians ok for you? For normal people they are not.” Another person stated: “People have been saying you look different for like the past two years because… you look different [shrug emoji] it wasn’t just this photo.”
With all of the above comments and more, Fox clarified her caption. “Dear god. That is NOT what I meant,” she wrote. “Ukrainian women are hot af and so in my imagination the blowup dolls would also be hot. Let a girl make a joke for f—s sake.”

As we previously reported, Fox has opened up about having body dysmorphia. Body dysmorphic disorder is “a mental health condition in which you can’t stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “I don’t ever see myself the way other people see me,” she told Sports Illustrated last year. “There’s never a point in my life where I loved my body, never, ever.”
17 Celebrities That Constantly Get Mistaken For Each Other
There are over seven billion people alive on this Earth. So the possibility of a doppelgänger walking around looking exactly like you is highly probable. A doppelgänger is defined as a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck or seen as an evil twin. Research has found that people who are “true” look-alikes have more similar genes than people who don’t feature a resemblance to one another.
Doppelgängers In Media
Doppelgängers have made their way into modern literature, films, and television. Some of our favorite examples include the series finale of Twin Peaks. In the chilling scene, Special Agent Dale Cooper encounters a variety of doppelgängers in the Black Lodge, one of whom is a malevolent version of himself. His doppelganger switches places with him at the conclusion of the 1991 finale, trapping the original in the Black Lodge. In the show’s sequel, Twin Peaks: The Return, three different doppelgängers are dispatched from the Black Lodge.
Christopher Nolan’s 2006 psychological thriller, The Prestige, based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Christopher Priest, revolves around rival stage magicians in Victorian London. They feud over a perfect teleportation trick in which the performer appears to transport across the stage instantaneously. It is revealed that one of the illusionists has actually been using a doppelgänger to perform the trick — his twin brother.
Another great use of doppelgängers appears in Stephen King’s book, which was also made into a fantastic HBO series that was canceled way too soon: The Outsider. In it, the antagonist can use the DNA of individuals to become their near-perfect match through a science-fictional ability to transform physically. The allusion to it being a doppelgänger is made by the group trying to stop it from killing again.
