American actress, Megan Fox has hit back after she was slammed for asking fans to donate to her friend’s $30,000 GoFundMe despite being ‘rich with an estimated $8M net worth’.
The Tennessee-born actress had posted a link to the account on behalf of her longtime nail tech Brittney Boyce, whose 64-year-old father Michael is battling pancreatic cancer.
The Ninja Turtles posted a link to her friend’s $30,000 GoFundMe drive online.
Shortly after posting it, numerous people questioned why the actress’s name wasn’t on the list of donors despite being a millionaire.
The movie star actress took to Instagram Stories on Thursday, 27 July, to defend herself.
Fox said: “One thing you’re not going to accuse me of is being miserly or lacking generosity.”
The mother-of-three said she was merely honouring Boyce after she asked her to use her platform to promote awareness of the GoFundMe account to her 21.3 million followers.
“Do any of you have the emotional intelligence to consider that maybe Brit doesn’t want her celebrity clients donating large sums of money to her because it creates a dynamic in her working relationships that makes her uncomfortable?” Fox said.
She continued: “So instead she asked me to post the gofund me so that many people could donate small amounts of money to help them reach their goal.
Fox said she ‘just obliged’ the request made by Boyce, and obviously would be open to helping out if asked: “Anything she needs from me personally she will ask, and I will do it privately.”
She wrapped up in telling her critics, “So try again on another day (probably tmwr!) with some different bulls*** you bunch of psychos.”
