Lisa Ann Walter criticized Fox for allegedly violating a SAG-AFTRA rule
Megan Fox wore a replica of her 'Jennifer's Body' costume for Halloween
The SAG-AFTRA rule prohibits actors from using their characters' costumes outside of the production
Actress Megan Fox has recently been criticized by fellow actress Lisa Ann Walter for allegedly violating a SAG-AFTRA rule. The controversy arose following Fox's Halloween costume, which was a replica of her outfit from the 2009 film 'Jennifer's Body'. Walter took to Twitter to express her disapproval, stating that Fox's costume was a violation of the SAG-AFTRA rule that prohibits actors from using their characters' costumes outside of the production. Fox has not yet responded to the criticism.
The Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is a labor union that represents approximately 160,000 film and television actors, journalists, radio personalities, and other media professionals worldwide. The rule in question is designed to protect the intellectual property rights of the production companies and to prevent actors from exploiting their characters for personal gain. However, it is unclear whether Fox's Halloween costume constitutes a violation of this rule, as it was a replica and not the original costume from the film.
Lisa Ann Walter, who is on the SAG-AFTRA national board, took to Twitter to call out Fox for her actions.
