Megan Foxis speaking up after being blamed for — as she put it — “being miserly or lacking generosity.”
After using herplatformto promote aGoFundMe pagededicated to the ailing father of friend Brittney Boyce, commenters called out the actress, 37, for the apparent faux pas of not publically donating to the cause herself.
Addressing social media andRedditusers who had pointed out she wasn’t among the GoFundMe post’s list of contributors (“as if she isn’t rich as f— and could help their friend immediately,”tweetedone), Fox posted a rebuttal in an Instagram story post Thursday.

“Hey weirdos,” she wrote. “Do any of you have the emotional intelligence to consider that maybe [Boyce] doesn’t want her celebrity clients donating large sums of money to her because it creates a dynamic in her working relationships that makes her uncomfortable?”
Boyce, she asserted, had asked Fox to share a link to the “Michael’s Medical Expenses” fundraiser, dedicated to covering Boyce’s father’s medical costs in the wake of a recent pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
On Monday, theTransformersandJennifer’s Bodystar posted on her Instagram a screenshot of the GoFundMe page, adding the caption: “If you guys are able to help please do.”
Her goal, Fox said in her Thursday post, was encouraging fans to “donate small amounts of money to help them reach their goal,” reportedly per Boyce’s wishes.

“I just obliged her request,” Fox continued. “Anything she needs from me personally she will ask and [I] will do it privately. One thing you’re not going to accuse me of is being miserly or lacking generosity.”
She concluded: “So try again on another day (probably [tomorrow]!) with some different bulls— you bunch of psychos.”

This isn’t the first time Fox has used her platform to push back against critics. On Tuesday, theTill Deathactress clarified that a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier dress she was wearing in anInstagram postwas not in fact skin-baring.
“Before you start angrily typing — those are not my nipples, calm down,“she wrotein her caption. “They are safely and completely hidden under nipple covers, so no worries. We will all live another day without a rip in the space-time continuum.”
Comments for that post included encouragement from followers. “You’re spectacular, Meg, and I love the way you shut up haters,” wrote one.
