Megan Fox shuts down age-shaming troll over bold photos

ByJustpaste.in

Megan Fox has once again made it clear that she has no intention of letting online criticism dictate how she presents herself. The actress recently responded to an Instagram user who made an age-shaming comment about her decision to share bold photographs at the age of 40.

On Thursday, August 13, Fox took to Instagram to share a series of striking images from a recent photoshoot. In the pictures, the actress wore a leather bandeau-style top with matching chaps and string underwear. She completed the look with a bright green furry coat, dark sunglasses and a chunky necklace, creating a dramatic and confident appearance.

While many of her followers praised the photos and admired her fashion choices, one social media user criticized Fox for posting revealing pictures at her age. The commenter suggested that Fox was “already old” and claimed that she should not be sharing such images now that she is 40.

Rather than ignoring the remark, Fox responded directly and appeared completely unfazed by the criticism. The “Jennifer’s Body” star delivered a short but confident reply, telling the commenter, “Then don’t watch, sister.”

Her response quickly drew attention online, with many fans supporting the actress for refusing to entertain age-based criticism. Fox’s reply also reflects her long-standing approach to conversations surrounding beauty, confidence and public expectations placed on women.

Although Fox has been widely described as a sex symbol throughout her career, she has previously spoken openly about having a complicated relationship with her appearance. In a 2021 interview with British GQ, she discussed the insecurities that exist behind the image people often see on screen and social media.

Fox explained that people can appear extremely confident and beautiful to others while privately struggling with their own self-image. She also revealed that she experiences body dysmorphia and has dealt with deep insecurities.

Despite those challenges, the actress has continued to embrace her individuality and make her own choices about fashion and self-expression. Her latest Instagram post appears to be another example of Fox refusing to let other people’s opinions determine what she wears or how she presents herself.

Beyond her career and public image, Fox is also focused on her personal life and motherhood. She is a mother of four children. She shares three sons, Noah, Bodhi and Journey, with her former husband Brian Austin Green. She also has a daughter, Saga Blade, with her former fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.

As she navigates life as a mother and embraces a new chapter, Fox appears determined to remain confident in her choices. Her brief response to the Instagram troll has once again shown that she is willing to shut down unnecessary criticism on her own terms.

    Only 170 officials and rising HIV cases push Sindh…

    ByJustpaste.in

    Islamabad / Karachi: The Sindh Healthcare Commission came under intense scrutiny in the Senate after lawmakers questioned its ability to control illegal medical practices and respond effectively to the growing HIV situation in Sindh. Senators raised concerns over delayed action, staff shortages, and legal weaknesses that they said were limiting the Commission’s performance. The issue was discussed during a meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination chaired by Senator Amir Waliuddin Chishti. The meeting was attended by Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan, Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri, Senator Nadeem Ahmed Bhutto, Senator Nasir Mehmood Butt, Senator Anusha Rehman Ahmad Khan through Zoom, Federal Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal and Sindh Labour Minister Saeed Ghani along with senior federal and provincial health officials. Senator Nasir Mehmood Butt questioned why FIRs had still not been registered against those responsible in connection with the HIV situation, while Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan expressed dissatisfaction over delays in action and questioned the role of the Sindh Healthcare Commission in preventing the spread of the disease. Responding to the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer of the Sindh Healthcare Commission said the Commission had already registered several FIRs against medical quacks. However, he stated that weaknesses in the existing legal framework allowed many accused to obtain bail shortly after arrest. He informed the Committee that amendments to the law were being prepared to strengthen action against quackery. The CEO also disclosed that the Commission has only around 170 officials serving across the entire province, highlighting a serious shortage of human resources. Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri questioned why the Commission remained understaffed and asked whether the issue had been formally raised with the Sindh Government. Federal Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal requested the Committee Chairman to issue directions so the matter could move forward. Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan stressed that the Government should acknowledge administrative shortcomings wherever they exist. He also asked how many times the Sindh Healthcare Commission had formally requested additional staff from the Provincial Government. The discussion also focused on the governance structure of the Commission. Members were informed that after the 18th Constitutional Amendment, the Sindh Health Department no longer exercises administrative control over the Sindh Healthcare Commission. Federal Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal suggested that legislative measures should be considered to address governance-related issues affecting provincial institutions. The Committee also examined the appointment process for members of the Sindh Healthcare Commission Board. The Secretary Health informed members that the Department did not have the authority to appoint or remove Board members. Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri observed that such limitations weaken accountability, while Senator Nasir Mehmood Butt expressed concern that the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission was not administratively answerable to the Secretary Health. Earlier in the meeting, Sindh Labour Minister Saeed Ghani informed the Committee that two inquiries had been conducted into the Valika Hospital incident, during which 37 officials were identified for disciplinary action. He said the inquiry findings had not been made public due to security considerations but assured the Committee that strict action would be taken against those found responsible. He also informed members that the Sindh Government had established a social security fund to support families affected by HIV.

    Lahore: A shocking alleged sexual assault inside Lahore’s Ghaziabad Police Station has triggered the suspension of the entire station staff, including the Station House Officer (SHO), as authorities investigate the incident. According to police officials, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Imran allegedly brought a young woman to the police station on the pretext of questioning her. A sentry on gate duty reportedly asked about the woman, and the ASI claimed she was a suspect being taken in for investigation. He then allegedly took her into an investigation room, where the assault is said to have occurred. Police said the officer later dropped the woman back home. Her family had gone to the police station to report her missing but were informed during the process that she had already returned. Following the allegations, the accused ASI was arrested, while the investigation in-charge was also suspended. The incident prompted the suspension of all 78 personnel posted at Ghaziabad Police Station, including the SHO.

    Rising energy costs expand trade deficit

    ByJustpaste.in

      Pakistan’s trade deficit widened considerably in July 2026 as increasing energy prices pushed the country’s import bill higher, despite continued growth in exports. According to data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), the trade gap reached $3.95 billion, representing an increase of more than 25 percent compared with $3.15 billion recorded in July 2025. The official figures revealed that imports increased by nearly 18 percent on a year-on-year basis, while exports also recorded an encouraging rise of almost 10 percent during the same period. Although export earnings improved, they were insufficient to offset the rapid increase in import payments. Saad Hanif, Head of Research at Ismail Iqbal Securities, said the latest figures indicate that Pakistan’s demand for imported goods remains strong. According to him, economic activity has continued to recover, resulting in higher import volumes across several sectors. He noted that the country’s reliance on imported products has remained significant despite efforts to improve the trade balance. Import payments climbed to $6.89 billion in July, compared with $5.84 billion during the same month last year. Hanif explained that the main reason behind the sharp increase was the rise in global energy prices, particularly due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He said petroleum products and Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) became around 40 to 50 percent more expensive than they were a year earlier. Since Pakistan depends heavily on imported fuel, energy purchases typically account for between one-fifth and one-quarter of the country’s total import expenditure. In addition, higher imports of automobiles, industrial equipment and agricultural machinery also contributed to the increase in the import bill. Exports, however, showed positive momentum. Pakistan earned $2.94 billion from exports in July, compared with $2.68 billion in the corresponding month of 2025. Hanif attributed this improvement mainly to stronger food exports, especially rice, which regained momentum in international markets. He also highlighted that the textile industry continues to be Pakistan’s largest export sector, contributing more than half of the country’s total export earnings. Textile exports remained stable throughout the previous fiscal year, helping maintain overall export performance. When compared with the previous month, Pakistan’s trade position showed some improvement. The trade deficit had reached $4.66 billion in June 2026 but narrowed by more than 15 percent in July. This improvement was largely driven by a remarkable 31 percent monthly increase in exports, one of the strongest monthly gains recorded in recent years, while import payments remained almost unchanged. The Ministry of Finance described the development as a positive beginning to the new fiscal year and linked it to government measures aimed at supporting exports, improving industrial productivity and reducing the cost of doing business. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed authorities to accelerate the privatisation of state-owned electricity distribution companies by attracting reputable international investors. During a review meeting in Islamabad, he instructed the Privatisation Commission to complete its restructuring within one month and ensure that the entire process follows international standards, transparent procedures and fixed timelines. He also stressed that consumer interests should remain fully protected throughout the privatisation process. The prime minister welcomed the positive response received during recent investor roadshows held in Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and China for the first-phase privatisation of Gepco, Fesco and Iesco. He further instructed the Privatisation Commission to recruit qualified professionals in finance, law and information technology to strengthen its institutional capacity. In addition, he ordered the establishment of an effective grievance mechanism to address consumer complaints after the companies are transferred to private ownership. The government expects bidding for the three electricity distribution companies to take place between October and December 2026, with the aim of attracting investment from Gulf and other Asian markets.
