Megan Fox has seemingly grown tired of allegations that she's a living clone.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (3 Mar), the Transformers actress shared a savage statement addressing the long-standing conspiracy theory that has seemingly had the internet in a chokehold for several years.
Anyone unfamiliar with the rumours could be forgiven, given the fact that they don't actually stem from any real-world evidence. Instead, they grew out of meme culture in response to Fox, 39, making more frequent red carpet appearances with her now ex-partner, Machine Gun Kelly, back in 2020.
After the two went public, fans noticed the Jennifer's Body star had seemingly adopted a new approach to fashion, inspired by her rap star beau.

The rumours this version of Fox was a clone were all part of a broader conspiracy theory that celebrities are secretly killed and replaced with eerie body doubles.
Other victims of the bizarre trend include Avril Lavigne and Eminem, who fans viewed as 'coming out of hiding' recently and looking moderately different to how they did years prior.
This week, Fox had enough and slammed this speculation as baseless with a satisfyingly sassy remark.
Her response came after she made her long-awaited return to Instagram earlier this week, which she celebrated by sharing a horde of never-before-seen images of herself.
In them, Fox sports a black, cropped t-shirt which she paired with a matching G-string thong.
"I'm alive. New pics just dropped," she captioned the collection.
Her sudden return to the online realm, however - after welcoming a daughter, Saga Blade, with former flame, MGK, back in March of last year - kickstarted the theory that she'd been cloned all over again.
"This isn't Megan. This is a Clone," one of her 21.2 million followers wrote in the comments.
Another joker added: "Whoever typed in the coding for this clone. Tweaked the cheeks."
"AI-generated?" a third asked.
Surprisingly, however, Fox hit back at the remark, telling said fan: "B***h a clone could never."
Her ex also stood in her corner against the criticism, despite the pair having been broken up since November 2024.
Kelly, real name Colson Baker, 35, gushed: "Stoked I have your phone number."
Fox isn't the one person accused of being a clone, after actor Jim Carrey went viral for debuting a new hairstyle at the Cesar Film Awards in Paris, whilst making his first public appearance since November.
"You can’t convince me they didn’t clone Jim Carrey," one theorist alleged in response to new snaps of the star.
