The art of becoming an accessory is SUCH a powerful title for a poem
Yes! Geez ... the small part Drew read was incredible. ❤
I agree!! That was extremely powerful, punched me right in the gut!!
I mean, is it really? Eh..
I am shaken for all the right reasons… this is a new atmosphere of emotional intelligence that needs to happen for all ❤
Write it! ❤
I've been a fan of Megan for years and its been low-key painful to witness her image constantly overshadow her intelligence and talent in the public eye. I'm really glad her writing is getting the recognition it deserves. Go Megan!
I feel the same! It's weird how she's only been as a body and a face to so many ppl. But I get the feeling women understand her better, I dunno. I think she's SO smart about everything in her Hollywood life : her image, her career. I love her interviews, she's real and I wish I could tell her that one day. I'm a 40yo woman that admires her work because she's smart and btfl in and out.
She's always been super cool and super smart and hopefully people have the emotional intelligence to see that more now.
@@annalucia8843 hopefully
Its her own fault..she wanted that image with MGK..all the vampire blood sucking thing..no wonder everyone only sees the image
Same. I'm SO proud of her. I feel like she's been treated like a villian, and I find that so odd. It's not a crime to be beautiful, and she was a good actress. I love that she's created her own art now.
Megan is not just a pretty face so to speak, she's intelligent, insightful, articulate.
Yep, it's always been clear to me that she's really intelligent. I actually think that makes it HARDER to have the career she's had. "Ignorance is bliss". People wanted her to just be beautiful and have no opinions.
well she’s not a pretty face anymore but my God she is intelligent as hell.
Exactly like Marilyn Monroe❤
i freaking love how megan said that rejecting her kids' dad would be rejecting a piece of their father. i freaking love that. it's so hard to have your parents be at war, so to see people valuing peace with their other parent so their kids can live in peace is so inspiring
People underestimate this woman because she’s eclectic and a little bizarre. They get distracted by her beauty and sexuality. She has quite the mind, she did a series on anthropology and archaeology and it was fascinating.
I'm sure many people found it threatening that she's so beautiful and is also intelligent. If a woman is really sexy, they don't want you to also be smart and opinionated in Hollywood
@@kab9706or anywhere
@@kab9706not everyone finds her that beautiful. It’s western standards of beauty:
@@berry6467 of course, not everyone has the same idea of beautiful. It's subjective
Which series?
I got choked up at multiple points during this because what Megan is speaking about is exactly what I wish I got out of my childhood but didn’t. It takes tremendous wisdom and class to do what she has done.
She needs to write a memoir
She does!
Megan’s aura is always so inspirational !!!
I saw her in Vegas at the wynne and her aura is so pretty. She glows and smiles a lot.
This is a beautiful and insightful interview. As a parentified child I totally relate with "carrying the burden of war between parents", it made me almost cry to hear that. It's also very difficult to be the one who finally sees that pattern and makes an effort to not pass it to another generation.
As an also patentified child, I see you and i agree with you.
I really wasn't expecting such a powerful & emotional poem. I hope this lady is ok & found happiness ❤
Drew is evergreen. Still the sweetest.
I cannot say enough words about how important it is that this book exists.
Oh jeez. 🙄
Wow, that poem is soooooo good crazy how so many of us could relate. This took me back to a terrible relationship I got into when I was 19 exactly how it felt
I love these two women. Megan is so captivating, will buy this book.
That poem was 🔥
I could listen to Megan speak all day
Wow, this was deep and so true! Very well said Megan.
She is so amazing and using her voice to be truthful and show the realities that happen in very dysfunctional relationships
I have full body chills from that poem...my lord...need to get this book immediately
Meghan please do a podcast or host a show. It's lovely
Drew is such a loving, sweet soul. She's always been like that. The hugs and hand holds and sitting close. Some people find it "cringe", but she always wants people to feel cared for and appreciated. It's just her way.
TELL THIS TO MY MOTHER - My entire youth and to this day, I witness their constant fighting, and I watch how my narcissistic mother despises my father at times (most). It's truly disgusting. I remember as a young child I would try to count the days that went by without them fighting once...I honestly don't think I ever counted a full day without an argument. I went through phases of crying to my father as a child, him witnessing the fear in my voice as I asked if him & my mother were going to get a divorce - and as a comforting father, he assured me, no. As I grew older, I would silently wish they would...continually shrivelling away each time the verbal daggers would be thrown from her. 30 years of this, watching the pain affecting my entire family, but especially my father. & To this day, I still feel incredibly hopeless. Please parents of the world, like Megan said, don't let your children carry the burden of war between parents, as I am one of the many scarred individuals who have to.
Oh my. I am so sorry that this happened to you. I hope you're in a much better place now mentally and all. ❤
@@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz Appreciate it ❤️
It’s so sad to read this 💔 i pray you find peace among this decades long hurt that you experienced. Hugs. ❤️
I appreciate that, thank you so much
@@loomonda18 you’re welcome dear 💔❤️
Above reading a poem, I think hearing one is my favorite way to enjoy it. The last four lines, WOW. Immediately purchased.
That's beautiful. I have seen the damage upon kids when parents have rubbished the other parent in front of their children.
Notice how Megan's body stiffens during the read and her eyes remembering the dark past. Body remembers the trauma.
No she’s just nervous about it being read
Drew’s sweetness makes me emotional 😭
I found out a long time ago that Megan was more than just a pretty face and she’s actually a pretty good actress if given the right role and script
Yup exactly! People just love to judge and I've even heard someone call her "a bimbo" before but she is waaay more than that! She's an intellectual. She's really deep and insightful!
@@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz lol name one time she's been intellectual
@@M-ye2jn🙄ahem, this interview for example?
@@lilinectar4045 what part of the interview exactly please do tell🤔👂
@@M-ye2jnHer words on treating her kids father in the right way in front of them just gives an insight to the emotional intelligence she has. She’s usually thought provoking in her interviews and brings an interesting perspective I get on board with.
so true!!! my mom talked trash about my father. it made me think bad things about my dad for over a decade. lost years, due to my moms version of things. it's selfish. megan is amazing for saying this 🌺
In my similar case, it made me resent my mom for doing so
“The gives your children the freedom to be happy” I’m crying now, so beautiful and intelligent
I love this interview. It really hits home for me in so many ways, as I’m sure many can agree themselves. I wish more people thought this way. Tearing down the other parent completely sets your child up for failed relationships.
I saw Megan fox in person in Vegas. Her aura is so pretty. She glows.
I love writing poetry. It's the best thing ever. It's freedom of expression and its also really catharsis and it also cleanses and purifies the soul from within. 😌
Weeew Drew needs to be the voice for that audiobook! Chills✨
Wow that poetry sounds fantastic so far!
Brilliant Poetry - I'm floored..... Great Talent Megan, you're AMAZING.....
The way drew read this is too good
Wowow, what profound words! I can’t wait to get her book!
When i heard that, I immediately purchased the book and it does not disappoint. What an intelligent, articulate, self-aware young lady. ❤❤❤❤
Poetry! Yes! We need poetry in this world ❤
Megan is so eloquent
This interview is so good!!! So impressed with Megan Fox & blown away by her poetry!!! She’s so wise & articulate. 👏🏻
I am.... in and out fan of hers... and with this moment with Drew, made me feel.. sad for her.. I hope she finds peace with her book.
Doesn't look like Megan, but maybe that's the point. She moving on with her life and seeing what fits for her. Wish her well with her journey 🙏❤❤❤
I never completely lied tò my children about their dads short commings I just made it PG 13 until they became Adults and told them the truth that he was a CHEATER 😊
That poem = Brian..4 sure..he was 13 years older and controlled her 😢
Tearing down is one thing, but telling the truth at the best time possible is another
SO HAPPY FOR MEGAN, BEING A FAN FOR SO LONG AND NOW SEEING HER EXPRESS HER WORDS AND TALKING OPENLY AND SO HIGH HEADED IT GIVES ME HOPE
Wow I love both of their points on parenting so insightful
That's deep AF...Unexpected. ❤
Drew is so kind she’s such a wonderful women and her style is unique
That poem was brilliant 👏 👌 😀 ❤
That just expressed EVERYTHING…🙌❤️🔥
I adore these two together! Would love to see them on another together! Megan is so beautiful & elegant. Megan in her healing era is the best version of her ❤ love this for her! Drew is such a light in itself & always so comforting and says the right things. Best host!
I love the poem.
Wow😮 That's next level. Just goes to show you never know what somebody's going through.
I felt this so much. I have even said to my therapist that I often felt like an accessory to men. I was like their belt or hat.
I need her book ❤
Ugh love this so much
Megan is full of her own unic thought. Real smart.. poetic thinker but is still sensitive and compassionate towards those around her I think and with deep trust in the nature. Very interesting lady
Oh my goodness that gave me chills too and then you said you got chills holy cow!!!!!!
She needs to play Poison Ivy. She needs to.
She is SO smart and insightful, logical, and reasonable. Love her.
This was a short clip but somehow soo incredibly profound. Wow.
I love megan for everything ❤️
Megan makes for a great interview. I didn't really know that beforehand. But she's really interesting to listen to. And she's gorgeous to look at, obviously.
That poem was amazing 😭😭🩷
Woah, that passage gave me chills
Wow. That poem.
This is so powerful 🥲 and just yes the co parenting part is so beautiful said by Megan!! ❤️🔥🙏🏾 I don't even have human kids & I agree with this so much !! (I'm a cat mom)
I am so in love with Megan and this amazing spirit she has. She is brilliant and her soul is everything . I could listen to her talk all day ❤
I ❤ the dog, so calming
Wow... I NEED that book.
Very Beautiful what Megan said 👏
On my way to the book store rn
Damn, girl! She's got bars. ❤
I love these two lovely ladies OMG ❤
I love Megan Fox!!!
Me too
I love how both of these wonderful ladies can coparent with their exes and never talk down about them. I love what Megan said on how if she rejects her kids father, it's like she's rejecting her kids since he is part of them, he helped make them.
OMG! This book is the voice of many of US! The brain of Megan Fox is amazing! She's a beautiful! 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Wow. Its really heart-wrenching to hear a mom acknowledge how damaging it is to talk about your coparent negatively. I used to SCREAM at my parents that when they talk smack about the other parent, it feels like they’re talking about half of me. I’m half of each of you but apparently neither half is good.
Gosh I love Megan she's such a genius!
Love Drew !
Drew looks really good still and is much older. Megan Fox is still banging for sure ❤ but I find that I was the one who put my poetry out there before social media took tabs of what you did. However it’s beautiful to see what you love being talked about… what I’ve been putting out there. Seems to be part of a lot of social topics 😅🎉🎊
the personal struggles M.F went through in life 😢😢 it's time for her to write a Memoir..
Her poem is the exact relationship I'm in now 😭 I wish she had one for how to escape.
Now i am the biggest fan of Megan... ❤️. Never saw her in this light before. ❤️
Whoa. Her poetry is actually insane. This hit so hard
Omg how beautiful ❤❤
Megan Fox is such a smart woman. She really has a beautiful way with words. I always thought she was very aware as well. Of course she would write an amazing book of poems. She can do anything.
I genuinely love this woman. Megan is so smart and cool (and a little nuts). She doesn’t get the credit she deserves.
I love Megan, always have. I listened to the audiobook of her book, and I felt like every single poem was coming from MY brain. How many times have we been manipulated and controlled by our significant other? 💋
Omg I enjoyed watching this. I love megan. She’s so sweet. And drew is so supportive 💜 Tho I dislike her taste in men😂 Megan is absolutely amazing ❤️🔥
She's poetry in motion 😍Lol😊
I got tingles 😮
Megan is so smart ❤
she’s so cute 🥺
Wow. Well written Megan!!!
I deeply wish that I could have the post-divorce coparenting situation that they describe here. I wanted it so badly for so many years for my beautiful and amazing kids. It's been very painful to accept that this will never be their reality, and they're caught in the crossfire, no matter how much I try to shield them from it. I am so envious that these ladies can have these evolved and respectful relationships with their kids' fathers. But also, side note: Megan Fox has said repeatedly that her relationship with MGK is very mercurial and explosive. It doesn't exactly sound like she has the best track record for mature and respectful relationships, so it does make me take what she says with a grain of salt.
Megan preferring someone else to read her poem out loud is so relatable. I always hated having to recite my poetry for friends, especially in intimate.
Megan fox is incredibly smart and intellectually amazing. I wish people saw that in her more then her beauty
