Weeks-old video footage of Megan Fox appearing agitated as fiancé Machine Gun Kelly attempts to kiss her at an event has gone viral on TikTok.
Fox, 36, and Machine Gun Kelly, 32, were among the attendees at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards in Beverly Hills to honor stylist Maeve Reilly on April 10.
But an awkward moment was caught on camera between the duo, when Machine Gun Kelly attempted to hug and kiss his wife-to-be as he stood behind her—prompting a stone-faced Fox to move her head away.
As the brief video came to an end, Fox was seen making her way to pose for event photographers alone.
Per event images, the couple did eventually pose together.
"Oh she was upset upset," read a caption alongside the resurfaced clip, which has been viewed more than 16 million times on the video-sharing platform.
Another clip of the couple was also shared on TikTok, showing Machine Gun Kelly—real name Colson Baker—standing to give a toast as he repeatedly said "loyalty."
Fox, who was seated beside the musician at the dinner table, failed to crack a smile and appeared to reluctantly lift her glass in joining the toast with the other attendees.
"She's done with his bulls***," read a caption for the clip, which sparked a series of comedic responses.

However, while some social media users saw the videos as evidence of Fox having a bad day, many others defended them.
"Pretty sure my wife looks at me like that once a month and our relationship is fine," wrote one TikTok user. "They're human lol it's not all sunshine and rainbows."
"I feel like most of you [don't] understand that they are also human beings and yes same as you get into argument the same can them," another chimed in. "Calm down all of [you]."
Meanwhile, one TikTok user pointed that Fox has said "she's really introverted and she expressed how hard it is to always be surrounded by [people]. I feel like it shows."

Indeed, just this month Fox shared snapshots and video footage of herself on Instagram as she spent time in Las Vegas with her fiancé.
"An introvert in Vegas for three days during eclipse season," she wrote in the accompanying caption, adding that there was "just SO much crying in the shower."
In a 2009 interview with GQ, she also spoke about how her feelings toward social interactions had changed after she found fame.
"I grew up craving the spotlight and once it happened I immediately recoiled," she said. "Up until the very moment it happened I was really outgoing. Now I'm really introverted. I thought that I would love it, that this was the kind of life I wanted, that everyone wanted. And it's not all that it seems."
Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, who announced their engagement in January, were among the guests in attendance as Kourtney Kardashian tied the knot with Travis Barker in Italy over the weekend.
The couple met on the set of their movie Midnight in the Switchgrass, which began filming in March 2020. They went Instagram official in July 2020.
Fox's split from Brian Austin Green was confirmed in May 2020 after 10 years of marriage. They have three sons—Noah Shannon, 9, Bodhi Ransom, 8, and Journey River, 5.
Machine Gun Kelly is the father of a 12-year-old daughter, Casie, with Emma Cannon.
