Fans have taken to social media to express their outrage over Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s Halloween costume.
The couple dressed up as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, with Fox donning the signature blonde hair and Kelly sporting a white tank top and leather pants.
Fox posted a photo with Kelly on Saturday with the caption, “but are these even costumes.”
In the first picture, Kelly can be seen holding Fox’s face and kissing the side of her head in a striking resemblance to a photo of Lee and Anderson in the same pose.
Some criticized the costume as “insensitive” and “disrespectful” because of the domestic abuse Anderson suffered at the hands of her husband.
In 1998, Lee was sentenced to six months in jail for felony spousal abuse.
The macabre-loving duo wasn’t the only couple with this idea.
Former One Direction star Liam Payne and his rumored new girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, also dressed as Anderson and Lee. The couple was spotted in London in their leather-clad getups.
Since the February release of the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, a conversation about the 90s icons has resurfaced among the younger generation.
The costume was popular this year on TikTok, but many users called out their peers and the celebrity couple for dressing up as “a woman and her abuser.”

One fan expressed their anger over the hundreds of Pam & Tommy costumes on the Internet this year, tweeting, “it’s so disturbing how romanticized abusive relationships are.”
