Every time we think Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship can’t get any weirder, they gleefully prove us wrong.

After their recent engagement announcement, MGK opened up to Vogue about the ring he used to propose to the Jennifer’s Body actress.

“It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment. It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine,” he said, lulling readers into a false sense of security that this might actually be kind of normal. But of course that would be insane.

“The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…”
Really driving home the obvious theme here, MGK added, “Love is pain!”
Machine Gun Kelly says Megan Foxʼs engagement ring has internal thorns:
“The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts… Love is pain.”
The bizarre relationship between the two stars has alternated between entertaining and oversharing for some time now, but even though they both seem to be into some weird kinky stuff (like drinking each other’s blood upon getting engaged), proclaiming that “love is pain” and setting up the ring as a metaphor suggesting your significant other will suffer if she tries to leave you mostly just read as a red flag to people at this point.
Machine Gun Kelly, a pop star, has had his girlfriend actor Megan Fox’s engagement ring designed so that spikes in it will cause pain if she removes it. A) he’s an absolute 🚩🚩🚩arsehole & B) so is the designer and manufacturer. But publicity eh?
But as with every knew thing we learn about Fox and MGK, people also used the opportunity to make Twitter jokes, the number one response to feeling extremely uncomfortable on the internet.
megan fox and machine gun kelly are like that couple in middle school who watched twilight once and then went around telling people they were part of the cullen family
Hopefully they are both happy and safe and the internet just isn’t privy to the inner workings of their relationship in the way that we think we are considering how much oversharing keeps going on. But even if that’s the case, things like this still send a potentially concerning message to others, which one user broke down quite nicely:
And the thing is, when you buy into that — and it's very easy to buy into it! — it's really really easy to see your pain as a badge of honor, as proof that you are worthy and good and worth love, *even as you are miserable*.

It just breaks my heart to see women engaging in these masochistic exercises to prove that they are "worthy" of men who are utter pieces of shit who will break their hearts in the end anyway.

I understand, on a visceral level, how *good* it can feel to endure discomfort and even pain during sex because you know you're pleasing the person who is hurting you (this is completely separate from BDSM though sometimes people confuse the two).

And yet it's so fucking common among women 😢
