Megan Fox recently asked fans and followers to assist with a friend’s GoFundMe page, leading to outrage from many individuals.
The multimillionaire indicated her friend and longtime nail tech, Brittney Boyce, needed financial assistance for her father’s medical bills.
Based on an Instagram Story that Fox shared, Boyce’s 65-year-old dad is battling pancreatic cancer, so she launched the GoFundMe campaign.
It has a goal of $30,000 so that he can “focus on himself and not the stress on finances” associated with his medical situation.
“My friends dad was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer if you guys are able to help please do,” Fox wrote in text on her IG Story to share the GoFundMe.
Fox received backlash for asking others to help with the cause due to her status as a wealthy Hollywood star who is also dating a wealthy recording artist.
Social media users blast Megan Fox for GoFundMe request
Following Fox’s request for fans and followers to help with her friend’s father’s medical expenses, many individuals reacted on social media.
“Megan fox sharing a gofundme for 30k has got to be a joke 😂 as if she isn’t rich as f**k and could help their friend immediately lol,” one Twitter user wrote with a screenshot of Fox’s IG Story.
“Then write him a check boo-boo you got 30k right now! The nerve. gross,” another Twitter user wrote.
One Twitter user suggested Fox could just “sell a Berkin bag” from her closet and donate all the necessary money to the GoFundMe.
A Twitter user replying to TMZ’s tweet about Fox said it was “tiring” to see rich celebrities asking for help with GoFundMe campaigns and “especially from a rich celebrity who also has a rich celebrity husband.”
However, someone replied that it was not Fox’s responsibility to pay for the treatment, and she “did use her fame for a good purpose” by bringing awareness to her friend’s cause.
