However, Fox quickly set the record straight — and shut down her critics — with herown Instagram poston Tuesday.

“Before you start angrily typing — those are not my nipples, calm down,” she wrote. “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.“Her post included more photos of the sheer dress, which she accessorized with a collection of silver-colored necklaces, including a wrapped snake chain. Her hair was styled in a chic updo with face-framing strands.

Many of Fox’s followers were quick to praise her for standing up for herself and not letting the naysayers get her down. “Respect button for Megan Fox 👉🏼,” one person wrote, while another commented, “You’re spectacular, Meg, and I love the way you shut up haters.”

As comfortable as she seems to be with showing off her body, Fox recently opened up about her struggles with viewing her body in a positive light. “I have body dysmorphia — I don’t ever see myself the way other people see me,” theTransformersstar said in a video for theSports Illustrated Swimsuit2023issue. “There’s never a point in my life where I loved my body, never, ever.”

“When I was little, that was an obsession I had of, like, but I should look this way,” she explained. “And why I had an awareness of my body that young I’m not sure, and it definitely wasn’t environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren’t even acknowledged.”

“The journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending, I think,” she added.

Fox first revealed she suffered from body dysmorphia and had"a lot of deep insecurities” in an October 2021 interview withBritishGQ.

“We may look at somebody and think, ‘That person’s so beautiful. Their life must be so easy.’ They most likely don’t feel that way about themselves,” she said at the time.

Body dysmorphia is described as a mental health disorder in which a personcan’t stop thinking about a perceived defect or flawin their appearance, according to the Mayo Clinic. The disorder can cause anxiety and distress, making it difficult to function in social situations and daily life.
