Megan Fox continues to keep a low profile on a scuba diving date with Machine Gun Kelly in Mexico after hitting back at criticism that her face looks 'different'

• e-mail

Megan Fox appears to be continuing to lay low amid intense speculation that she recently went under the knife for a nose job, cheek filler and a brow lift.

Less than a month after sending the internet into a frenzy over her 'unrecognizable' appearance at the Super Bowl, the actress, 37, returned the public eye while taking a scuba diving lesson with her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly in  Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Tuesday. 

After removing her floppy hat and sunglasses, the mom-of-three made a beeline to the ocean.

Despite the scrutiny over her seemingly transformed features, in particular her much narrower nose, Fox appeared in high spirits as she slipped a black wetsuit over her pink bikini.

Her pink hair, which she debuted at a Grammys viewing party four weeks ago, got soaked from her dip in the sea. 

Fox and her other half, 33, were inseparable as they walked along the shore together barefoot with their scuba gear and equipment, including their own oxygen tanks and goggles. 

While the Jennifer's Body actress displayed a number of her tattoos while changing into her wetsuit, along her  arms, back and ribs, Kelly opted to hide his entire upper torso, which he recently covered in pure black ink.

On Valentine's Day, Fox addressed comments about her appearance, after going viral in a picture taken with her husband-to-be, Taylor Swift, 34 and Travis Kelce, 34, at Zouk nightclub in Las Vegas.

'Oh my god guys look how different i…dont look at all,' she began her bizarre post. '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,' she captioned an image from the night, taken from a slightly different angle. 

Almost immediately, she sparked even further backlash for the caption, which some social media users found to be 'xenophobic.' 

One user said to Fox, 'It's very rude of you to speak like that about Ukrainian women, that's how you showed yourself.' 

Fox replied, 'Dear god. that is NOT what i meant. 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.'

The backlash continued as another furious social media user wrote: 'Not here for taking the p*** out of Ukrainian women. It’s obvious you’ve had extensive work done,' as another added: 'it's very rude of you to speak like that about Ukrainian women, that's how you showed yourself.'

One user said, 'Did she really just mention Ukraine?' while another commented, 'I guess xenophobia towards Eastern European is still a thing in Hollywood.' 

Said one user: 'Girl you had one opportunity to write a good post about this iconic pic and you write THIS?'

A social media user said Fox had sent a 'terrible message ... to women,' while one user asked, 'Is it just me, or was she making fun of Ukrainian girls? It's a bit of an inappropriate comparison anyway.'

A user noted the political ramifications of Fox's comment: '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.'

Fox has been sparking plastic surgery rumors in recent months due to her remarkably different appearance compared to when she first entered the spotlight

On a similar note, a user said the joke was in bad taste when framed against the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which has nearly spanned two years. 

'It's insensitive due to the situation in the country, furthermore it's widely known that sex crimes are common war crimes, that makes the joke inappropriate,' the user said. 'There's a time and place for everything, this ain't it though.'

Another user parsed Fox's words, saying, 'I don't think comparing yourself to a sex doll is a flex? So you are saying you look fake?'

One user said of the photo of the four stars in Sin City: 'This is celebrity fakeness, greed, gossip, drama, and bulls*** all perfectly summed up in a picture.'

Not all commenters had targeted Fox for the remarks, as some came to her defense, praising her appearance and bemoaning what they felt was hypersensitive reaction.

Said one user: 'Don’t waste your time. You look stunning ! Let them talk.'

Another user said, 'Just let the haters hate, f*** them,' as another described the people in the comment section as 'SOFT,' adding, 'I swear people just look for ANY reason to get pressed, stop taking things so personal.'

Said one user: 'You look amazing people are just jealous and have nothing better to do with their lives except to make others feel as s***** as they do.'

For the past month, users discussed her shocking transformation in droves, as many theorized her new appearance was the result of cosmetic procedure.

Dr. Norman Rowe, a New York-based board certified plastic surgeon, told DailyMail.com exclusively that he believes she could have had multiple procedures done. 

'She had a rhinoplasty,' he alleged. 'The bridge of her nose has changed to a nicer line and the tip is improved.

'She looks like she has Botox in her brows, lip filler, and cheek filler.'

He also noted, 'The changes I see are not due to makeup or lighting differences, they are [created by] surgical procedures and injectable procedures.'

The Transformers beauty hit back at trolls, blaming a 'shadowy' photo for making her look different

In another angle, uploaded to her Instagram, she showed she didn't look as 'different' as everyone claimed 

Another board certified surgeon, Dr. Charles Pierce, agreed; in addition, he suggested that she may have had an 'endoscopic brow lift.' 

He told DailyMail.com, 'If you compare recent photos of her to photos of her younger self, you may notice that her nose is narrower and more refined.

'Her brow and eyebrow shape also appears to have elevated, which is the opposite of how we age. She probably had recent Botox and filler injections to her face and cheeks.'

But the doctor, who is based in New York, added, 'Of course makeup, lighting, and angles always play a role as well, and may contribute to dramatic looks.'

While Megan has never outwardly admitted that she has gone under the knife, she shared her thoughts on plastic surgery to Allure magazine in 2010, and she said it was 'amazing' that 'we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.'

'I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin - the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you,' she said at the time. 

'If, then, you feel, "This is something that I want to do," then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.'

Back in 2021, Megan was caught leaving the office of a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon beloved by the Kardashians. 

The movie star tried to conceal her noticeably plumper lips from view as she exited The Diamond Face Institute - the home of famed plastic surgeon Dr. Jason B. Diamond, who has long boasted celebrity clients like Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, and Hilary Duff - following a late-night visit.

Since then, she's been spotted at the facility on more than one occasion - and in 2023, she was even seen being wheeled to her SUV in a wheelchair by one of the nurses.

In the past, Megan has admitted that she's severely 'insecure' about the way she looks.

She told Rolling Stone in 2009, 'I'm really insecure about everything. I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike.

'My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. But I’m too short. Overall, I’m not super excited about the whole thing.

'I never think I’m worthy of anything. I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing.'
