When the drama between the "Jennifer's Body" star and her fiancé began, most fans assumed another woman was in the picture. Lloyd, a guitarist who joined Kelly on his 2022 world tour, became the scapegoat for the internet's wrath.

However, Fox did not ideally watch while an innocent woman's dignity was dragged into the mud. Underneath a promotional post for the metal enthusiast's upcoming single "Fall of Men," the actress clapped back at those spreading false rumors.

"How me making a joke in order to absolve this girl of a hurtful accusation somehow turned into confirmation of it - I will never understand," the "Transformers" star began, lamenting over the groundless infidelity speculations.

"Why are people so... so dumb," the mother-of-three continued before advising Lloyd to chin up. "Sophie, you are insanely talented. Welcome to Hollywood. Your first unwarranted PR disaster. You have been baptized by the flames of fame."

The Tennessee native concluded her powerful message, "It only gets worse from here, unfortunately. Just ignore it as much as you can. Middle finger up," setting the record straight that there was zero bad blood between her and the guitarist.

Touched by her writeup, the blonde musician sweetly responded with a pink heart emoji alongside the words, "the internet is so wild! Sending so much love, @meganfox."

In retrospect, Lloyd would not have been dragged into the infidelity mess if not for Fox's cryptic post that started the flames. Per the Blast, the "Jonah Hex" star sent fans into a worried frenzy after sharing a video of burning items in a trash can.

Adding to the buzz, the 36-year-old's caption read, "You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath" — a line from Beyoncé's "Pray You Catch Me" song on her "Lemonade" album. In the comment, a fan suspected the post applied to MGK, who might have cheated on Fox with Lloyd, writing, "He probably got with Sophie."

Noting that their client had never acted in an "unprofessional manner" with Kelly, the representative implored the media to stop spreading unfounded accusations. "It's disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else," they said.
