'No third party in this relationship.' What on earth is going on between Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly?

As I went to sleep on February 12, I saw a news article about Machine Gun Kelly getting 'electrocuted' on stage. 

His hair was sticking up like Young Einstein, and honestly, I peacefully drifted off to sleep knowing all was well in the world. 

And then I woke up to absolute chaos. 

A week later, it's still a mess.

You see, Fox went full 'Lemonade' on her blood-oathed fiance on Instagram. Yes, she quoted lyrics from one of the most famous 'cheating' albums of all time. 

And now, she's indicated that she is irritated by the speculation about... cheating.

That's unfortunate.

Confused? Let me run you through what's happened between Megan Fox and MGK recently:

1. The 'Lemonade' post.

In the early hours of February 13 our time, Fox posted a series of mirror selfies from a public bathroom featuring an unknown male. 

The final slide in the carousel was a video of a letter and some pieces of clothing burning in a bonfire. 

She captioned the post: "You can taste the dishonesty/It’s all over your breath" which are lyrics from 'Pray You Catch Me,' the opening track from Beyonce's Lemonade.

The post has since been deleted but not before the internet lost their goddamn minds over it. 

2. She deleted all photos of him from her Instagram.

Just months after they drank each other's blood under a full moon (or something like that idk idk) Fox deleted all photographic evidence of her relationship with MGK from her Instagram. 

Leading everyone to yell: WHAT DID THAT SKINNY WHITE BOY DO? 

3. She unfollowed him on Instagram. 

Interesting... choices. Image: Instagram.

Ah yes, the biggest clue that all was not well in celebrity land. 

Fox unfollowed MGK - and everyone else - and to only follow Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet and Eminem on Instagram. 

So she's still into skinny white boys.... just not that one she's engaged to. 

(Plus, this was extra shady because MGK has had a loooong-standing beef with Eminem).

4. Ok, then she deleted her whole Instagram.

After setting an envelope and also the world gossip mill on fire, Fox deleted her Instagram account. 

WHAT. 

IS. 

GOING. 

ON?  

5. A new theory emerges.  

Celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi reckoned that the whole thing was just Megs havin' a bit of fun.

“Some of you guys really don’t get Megan Fox,” the anonymous gossip site wrote in an Instagram story after this all went down.

When someone commented asking whether it was all just a joke, she responded, "Yes, just trolling, being funny, being dramatic. I heard on very good authority they didn't break up." 

She then said she received this message about the couple: "They aren't broken up. There has been some fighting this weekend between them so it's just Megan trolling everyone." 

Ok but it's still good gossip. 

6. The 'world' reacts. 

As I mentioned earlier, the people of the internet lost their collective minds over this cryptic potential breakup. 

It's giving your year nine friend breaking up with their 'MSN boyfriend' and it's exactly what we needed.

Here are some of the best reactions:

7. The cheating rumours.

Pretty soon, theories emerged about what (and who) got MGK in (alleged) trouble.

It began before Fox deleted her account, when a fan commented "He probably got with Sophie" on one of Fox's posts.

"Maybe I got with Sophie," she replied.

The Sophie in question is Sophie Lloyd, MGK's guitarist.

After Fox left Instagram, there was little else to speculate on, so this rumour got veryyyy out-of-hand.

Lloyd's team released a statement completely denying it:

"Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media.

"Any suggestion that she has ever acted in an unprofessional manner or stepped out of her relationship are untrue. It’s disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else."

Instagram comment speculation turns out to be untrue? Who would've thought!

8. The relationship counselling photos.

Two days after all the Instagram drama, the Daily Mail published photos of Fox and MGK looking upset as they left a marriage counselor's office in California.

They reportedly looked upset and then left in separate cars.

9. Megan Fox's return to Instagram.

Okay, so after about a week of causing absolute chaos online, Fox returned to Instagram to ask us to... stop talking about the chaos. That she definitely started.

"There has been no third party interference in this relationship of any kind," she wrote in a notes app screenshot.

"While I do hate to rob you of running random baseless news stories that would have been much more accurately written by ChatGPT, you need to let this story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now."

Oh, and FYI, she's since unfollowed Styles, Chalamet and Eminem.

Idk. Moral of the story? Let's leave the Lemonade quotes to Beyonce.
