As a 53 year old man, having been around men my whole life, she’s ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Most men just think of their own needs, think about bedding the next person, and are completely narcissistic.
im sure women are too and she is . I mean she is a celebrity, it takes some narcissistic characteristics to have a career in hollywood
I’m glad you get it ❤
I don't know who your hanging out but I raised a great guy and Ive only been with great guys. If a guy shows me a red flag I was out of there. But I insist on good, successful men and the world is full of them. Some chicks seem to dig "bad boys", I don't. This girl does. She's crazy and I feel so sorry for her children and her X.
Thank you for saying this as a man. I know there are good men out there, but the ones who are terrible really have no remorse, self-awareness, or accountability. I blame society for teaching some men to not care about how their actions affect others. But again, I know there are good ones regardless
@@jackieb4608 …..Unfortunately, those good ones are a needle in a haystack.
Physical, psychological, and verbal abuse are not laughable matters. People can dislike Meghan Fox all they want, but these comments stoop so low. Women and children get abused in high and low places. Laughing about it is utterly despicable. The subject matter of her book being the abuse she suffered from the hands of men, both in her work life and personal life is not another magazine spread or a juicy Hollywood story purely for entertainment, or something she’s selling just to boost her career. It’s horrific, and a reality so many people have faced and are facing right now. You don’t have to like her, but don’t laugh at her abuse, which is what this video was all about. You don’t want to wish that upon anyone.
Exactly.
She does not sell it to boost her career, I'm pretty sure its a part of her personal lets call it therapy. Talking about abuse and trauma can be comforting and helpful in someone's personal journey of healing. Hint that's why we go to a therapist...plus I'm pretty sure she sees it as a hand to maybe help others. No way she sees her abuse as entertainment or something she is selling, I guarantee you its just that. I went through pretty similar things and listening to her I totally understand why is she doing that as it most likely helps her with the pain to cope and work through things. Do not be mad at some idiots commenting, karma has its ways and Meghan does not care. Just because some internet warriors find it amusing, doesn't mean similar won't come their way...lot of people love drama and live for others suffering. That's the reality of the world we live in
Who cares
@@Biscuit9891 Well obviously you care, or you wouldn't have commented. You don't care, then why did you watch the vid, and comment? Weirdo
She IS the mother of three boys, don't forget. And she was pregnant (and lost) a baby with Machine Gun Kelly. She has said something like "I want to raise my boys to be the sort of men I want my daughter to marry". I think she means given her bad experience with men, she wants to NOT have her boys be like that. She is alright.
I saw Megan in person ended up very close to her after machine gun kellys concert at an after party. She's so much more beautiful in person. But its her intelligence and way of speaking thats the most beautiful thing about her. She has always inspired me so much. I think it's incredible and so brave that she is finally speaking her truth. I wish she would expose all the terrible men!
I wish she would know she's more amazing than dude she was with. She made em all. Megan Fox is the GOAT with all do respect. ❤
She’s a man
I’m glad she had the courage to come out and speak her truth
She sucked a lot of dongs.
The whole Michael Bay issue brought out a lot of things in Megan that I and most people saw as courageous and truthful. I never saw her as a intimidating person or a mean girl, she was a bit of loner in fact.
If you want to work in the industry you have to have tact
@@Apk1991Right but women seems to need 10x more
@@audreyf9092 no male actor in the world could get away with bashing a director how Megan fox did. She’s lucky she has a career at all after that because most would be too afraid to hire her. It’s just business.
Exactly what Amanda Seyfried said about Jennifer. Jennifer came across as tough and nothing can hurt her, but inside she is a wounded soul. I can think of people like that in real life. And even the Trump family. When you hear the stories about Fred Trump, you can see how they became so F'ed up! Doesn't excuse bad actions, tho.
Most beautiful women are loners for some reason. I think other girls may feel intimidated by that.
She's the epitome of, don't judge the book by it's cover.. Everytime she opens her mouth if you actually listen to what she has and wants to say, it always makes you realize how mature, wise and beautiful of a human being she is both inside and out. It's definitely far from the sexy symbol, dumb actress look people always define her with. I've always been a fan of hers since day 1 of that transformers scene back when I was in highschool..so.. Keep slaying queen!!
Completely agree. I am so proud of her for creating her own art now. That's got to feel amazing. Wish her the best.
she's always been beautiful we never got to see a more real side of her
Yeah true bro! Yup been my day 1 love since transformers! I’m just proud of her to come out and speak her truth and just making her feel better than keeping pain inside of her. Love this precious angel! ❤️
I have felt absolutely torn apart being a beautiful woman and devalued while simultaneously sexualized. It has led to so much violence and adversity in my life. I have no doubt that her life has not been easy despite becoming wealthy and being beautiful.
People underestimate that attractive people get treated like absolute sh*t possibly moreso than 'unattractive' people. In a number of ways. Just because someone looks a certain way on the outside doesn't mean they have more or less strength to withstand bad treatment from others which can become a barrage if you're 'noticeable.'
Agreed.
SO TRUE!!! I endured more abuse & bullying, lies spread about me then the FAT and less desirable GIRLS!!!! and people saying stuff like I sell myself and being called crazy and attention liar when I was forcibly touched by perverts who I thought were my friends for a long time! And also being USED a lot sexually and having male friends who tricked and used me and pretended to be my friend SO they could just say I was their girlfriend!
@@caramelbilquees yup. Not shocked. I was always being called a whore and accused of selling myself even though I was not promiscuous at all. Touched and abused forcibly tons with no one caring..etc.
Same. Now that I’m entering my 40s and I’m disabled and often on steroids for autoimmune disease, I don’t get those looks anymore and I get left alone. It’s peaceful. People don’t spend time with me unless they have good intentions. And when they don’t I can see it within minutes. I’m happy for the first time.
Thank you Megan for exposing such personal parts of yourself for the whole world to see with the goal of healing, for shining a light on darkness to make it flee and for encouraging so many women, like 61 year old me, to be brave, courageous and look at those experiences we’ve kept buried, process them and get them out of us so they don’t become a chronic illness and eat us alive. Thank you for using your voice to help millions of women speak up and use their voices too. You have always seemed so mysterious, raw and pure to me, so deep and powerful. Now I see you using that power in marvelous ways to help make our world a better place. God bless you.🙏
Yes calling the death of a child suicide is very brave and stunning. So is abandoning her 3 SONS and husband to play dress up and get surgery.
@@Soph-ts9ybShe had joint custody of her sons with her ex. They are adults now. She had never abandoned her sons. She chose to not put them in the public eye like her ex did.
@@24Wynn they are under 11 years old 🤣 you absolute freak!!!!!!!!!! Exposed yourself. And she was happy parading them in public pretending they’re trans for brownie points in Hollyweird.
I really like her. Every time she has spoke it carries real depth to it. Even in her earlier interviews
You like a witch who abandons her sons and husband and calls miscarriage suicide ?? You’re warped. 😊
Exactly!!!! I was in awe when watching some of her earliest interviews!
She's always been so intelligent, and I think that only made it more difficult because of how she was put in a box. "Ignorance is bliss"
you mean he
I am so curious as to who these men were in her book, given she was with Brian Austin Green for majority of her adulthood (10 years or so), and obviously she has been with MGK now for three years.
Yeah, she is a public figure. If she was being abused my men, would we not be able to know who they are? Her exes or former boyfriends?
@@michaelrmurphy2734Men abuse women behind closed doors. If they did it out in the open, other men would beat them down and they would have gotten arrested.
I love Megan and how she carries herself despite going through really awful stuff, she’s remained true to herself and a kind person.
Meagan is not just a beauty. She is highly intelligent, creative and her poetry is her therapy. I hope she knows how many women she will help with sharing her harrowing past. I have a new found respect for her. ❤
she's so strong for doing this. as a woman, i fully understand how keeping quiet can be excruciatingly painful and eat you up silently until you cant anymore and that flame that was you, is put out. i can't wait to read it. and hopefully, in a close future, i can start being verbal about all the abuse i've lived thru.
Yes 👏
And that's why you should never tell a woman a secret. They treat secrets like an anchor around their neck, that they can only alleviate by telling someone.
I’m glad she did this and I’m praying for her. 😢
Me too
she’s so right about so much and the book is absolutely brilliant
I love her so much she’s so beautiful inside and out and I wish you nothing but love and happiness for her in her life both public and in her personal life as well and I want her to know there’s so many people out here that love her so very much and want her to do well and live her best life
Agreed. I think she is tremendous. She is in the latest Mortal Kombat game.
@@Angie2343She is?
Brave indeed for her and anyone who has come forward to bring these issues to light, so all of us and everyone one out can protect themselves from these types of creeps...
If she had to deal with all this, just imagine what everyday creatures deal with.
She forgot her pants
Considering this coming from Megan Fox being the iconic woman she is.. I love her for writing! & revealing a dark truth alll women could be vulnerable to. she’s speaking to young girls like me who’ve been thru abuse at the hands of lover. Men & there insecurities can sometimes get the best of them. (I believe you treat the next lover how you SHOULD’VE treated the last)
That's why we shouldn't date insecure men-childs. Their ego gets in their way and they think they'd have to beat down a woman to feel like they are better than her. Well, they are not. We all need therapy and then we can attract healthier people into our lives.
Totally fascinated from her energy 😘
she changed so much since meeting MGK
Naw I think she’s always been this way. She just never had the voice
Well usually that's what happens when you get older..
She's still with that Loser!..smh!
@@drunken-skunk just cause she’s attractive doesn’t mean she’s anything special herself though. She literally says she “manifested” him when she was a child
@@Apk1991Really? I never heard her say that. It doesn't make sense if she ended up marrying Brian Austin Greene.
I loved Jennifer and Needy in Jennifer's Body. Why were they hanging around with those guys?! I can see why that film has become a cult favorite. It does have depth and heartbreaking moments in it.
Amanda Seyfried was also in Chloe, another intense female relationship movie. And she was "Chloe". Made in Toronto and directed by Canadian Atom Egoyan.
When Jennifer's mother comes into the bedroom and lifts her daughter's lifeless body... OMG!!! That made me cry! To live your life without your child! Jennifer's Body is an underrated film. Put aside the cartoonish violence. And the creepy boys in the band. It really is a film about emerging young women. Jennifer and Needy. Yeah, I think I get why women like it. Me too!
Young and impressionable girls sometimes look up to the wrong guys. Jennifer, the character, just wanted to hang out and have fun. She didn't know there were those types of men out there.
She is light for women in this world ruled by men.
I hope she's OK. She don't look or sound right😢.
She looks so old despite her work done. Easily 45. Its sad
@@j.3779I don't see this as you do. I think she looks great I know she's probably doing a book tour she's probably tired. But I think she's very well taken care of she seems to put effort into herself. That doesn't mean she doesn't have bad days where she just looks drained. But I think she actually looks very good here
Like she said, she has her good days and her bad days. It's time for people to quit looking at women like they are one dimensional characters. We are multifaceted. Megan Fox is allowed to have her off days too!
jesus, how did she maintain composure, if someone touched me with one finger it would be over and not in a nice way. no one deserves that kind of behaviour ..spat on her face? i'm literally angry for her
She means it metaphorically. No one can possibly spit on THE Megan Fox! That's sacreligious!
@@Shankar-Bhaskarshe said that really happened in this interview
@@QueenBee-xd1xk Brian Austen Green doesn't really strike me as the sort of guy who would have the b@lls to do something like that to Megan Fox. He should be counting his lucky stars that he even got to wife up someone like Fox. Megan didn't really date anyone else apart from BAG, and then she soon started dating MGK.
@@Shankar-Bhaskar Thats not how abuse works
@@alyagif.9111 So you think it's someone else as well apart from BAG
I feel like everyone having a book
I’m so so proud of her
you mean he
Has anyone actually read this book? It’s horrible and I can’t believe how many people are reacting as if this was some great words of literature, it was horrible, it felt like reading something a rebellious 6yr old wrote.
Its a masterpiece!
Close you’re eyes it sounds exactly like Kim Kardashian.
love this for her
Currently listening to the audible version! I can relate so much. This is needed right now at this place in my life. I plan to right a book myself, poems are a great idea as a way of expression.
I wasnt aware of their pregnancy loss:( i love her and MGK - wishing them healing❤ abuse is also no joke. Very damaging. Hope this has helped her heal too.
She is a stunning woman beautiful, talented and strong. Bravo that she was able to put that pain on paper, and didn’t allow to eat her inside. I hope she will find happiness as she deserves it.❤
Incredible ❤
Highschool poetry
What's her necklace say? Why is blurred out?
I think it says ABCDE FU the fu is blurred out
@@umchileanywaysso😂😂😂 Love her sense of humor!
It says ABCDEF*CK (by Dylanlex) that is why it is blurred.
Speak your truth and never stop.... 18 yrs abusive relationship, I got up the courage to run...never been happier...
Can y’all stop with the hate comments it’s annoying if you don’t like what she’s saying then leave don’t be negative
Unfortunately people can comment if it's negative or positive. That's how a comment section works. If you don't want to read negative comments then stay out of comment sections.
She don’t look like megan fox anymore
What? Pretty girls aren't poisonous? That hairstyle really brings out the adult in you.
Her hair is art. Her hairstyle, in my perspective, is an ode to her wounded child. Hair, fashion, or how you present yourself doesn’t always have to be banal or beautiful through the general public’s gaze to be considered beautiful or appropriate. Let’s unpack that… expeditiously.
@@andrewells1183 Your comment is the epitome of "It's not that deep, bro"
Her hair looks like Deena and Snookie in 2011 Jersey Shore with that weird bow
Wasn’t she in a 10- 15 year marriage or something? I wouldn’t think she would have been with that many relationships
You don't have to be in tons of relationships to go through what she has gone through. On the Drew Barrymore show she talked about her abusive step-father.
@@24Wynnbut here she’s taking like as if she’s had many relationships
We need to ear clearly her true...but she is affraid that Hollywood closed her door again....poor baby
she's so strong for doing this wow!
Megan is beautiful
Stunning!!!
Very beautiful. On the inside out.
I feel so bad for Megan. 😢
I am confused. I thought she was with Brian Greene from decades and had 3 kids with him.
It’s most likely about him.
I thought she said it was many “guys” whisk is why she hates men.
she has said before she’s only had 3 boyfriends or now I guess 4 with MGK so maybe a really old relationship?
@@musicandpoetry_8 I'm reminded of Laura Winslow from Family Matters.
@@Angie2343But what about her though? ://
Wow im definitely getting this book yasss
I wish her best of luck!
Why is everyone trying to release a book in the last 2 months…
Its ridiculous. Britney started and i read it. Darn this is a life story. But Megan fox? Lol. Naw... what you've been through girl? It's ridiculous. She had a nice life, no major problems.. those she has, she created by herself. like her three trans kids 😂
go ahead a try to write a book, then. you sound bitter and jealous.
Why haven’t you done any book in the last 2 decades
It takes time to write a book. The library is filled with memoirs and autobiographies. Who knows when Britney started writing her book to when Megan Fox wrote her book on poetry.
Is she talking about 13+ years ago?! She was married for a whole decade. How old is she?
Love that Megan came out with her own art and spoke truth with this! Rather see her happy and enjoying life then having pain inside her. Am proud of her! Love this real side of her! More mature and feminist. Been my day 1 love since transformers, and will always be my day 1 love forever. One day I’ll meet her and we’ll talk. May god bless this queen and her family and friends. ❤️🙏🏻👑
This is to much , now everyone is coming out with a book good grief, everyone with a problem , let’s see how many more actors,singers come out doing this to much
Comments like these when involving such subject matter 🤦
Don’t read it if you don’t want to. I don’t care about some people’s biographies lol
@@Thorsdaughter007 Mmkay just agreeing. There are a lot of people writing their autobiographies that seem silly and unnecessary.

Nothing funny here. Please seek help.
@@Cuezaltzin I know right together with the 6 upvotes...like we all need to find strength within us to make through crap. What a dumb dumb, its all so funny till it hits you in your face and you have to face life
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, RIGHT? Her answer should have been: Well, I am becoming irrelevant so it felt like the right time to attach myself to the ME TOO Movement.
@@maketheworldabetterplace2292 Laughing guy's a cheap provocateur. Any person can be voulnerable to sexual violence. Honestly hope get help.
@@IknowIamkindagreatShe did that before it became a thing back around 2009 so you’re waffling there.
I felt this
So is she accusing the ex-husband or that weirdo she's with..
I doubt MGK is beating her up, that stick man looks like she'd kick his arse 🤣
I think stunning beauty is a blessing and a curse . Speaking from experience , both in relationships in Hollywood and in my personal life I was always pursued and used in the end . You need a lot of protection as a woman. But sometimes you don’t know what’s to come . Parents family and friends protect your delicate young girls . Especially if they are extraordinarily beautiful as this is like a golden light that bad and good is attracted too . Jealousy envy and resentment also hunting them down .
Yikes what did she do to her face
She has body dysmorphia
She used to be so pretty
oh my god, what have u done to my favorite face????? noooooo............... why...
Gurl bye I can't lol
What?
@@jgooner894 absolute trash writing & victim culture vulture bullshit
Always loved her! ❤
So good to let out trauma! Very proud Megan for being vulnerable enough to open up, allow some to be inspired and some to sh*t on you which is obvious in these comments people have no problem with.
Megan, you are so much more than a body. Your soul matters. You are valuable. I'm sorry that the world has manipulated you so badly. God's arms are open in perfect love for you. There is healing there that is not popular in the world these days. But I encourage you to look into it. You will find out that your perpetrators hate Him so much because His way calls for the protection of women, not the exploitation of them, which only the weakest of the weak do. I won't be surprised to learn you find your way to the Lord, home sweet home.❤
For sure
You should never say "you hate men" when you have sons that will inevitably grow up to be men. We need good, masculine men in society who aren't ashamed to be men...our young boys should feel that way too. These are not the same type of men who their mother may have had relationships with. I get that this isn't a holistic representation of who she is/what she thinks. I see she wrote this from the mindset of a victim. Misandry just shouldn't be tolerated just as misogyny shouldn't be!
Spot on!!
it’s not a mindset of a victim when you ARE a victim.
Misandry won’t exist if misogyny didn’t exist. Misogyny is way to dangerous. A woman who hate man they tend to avoid men in general but a man who hate women tend to do the opposite and actually try to harm and violate women
you don't get it - we don't want to hate or choose it but we're aware of it inside us from the terrible things we have encountered. Hate isn't always an active choice and people don't understand that
Her boys also need to understand what kind of men are out there as well, what those men do to drive a woman to say she hates men...if she can’t even voice how awfully men have treated her & her raw feelings about all of it in a damned poetry book then when or where can she?Megan’s pain is just as valid as wanting to create a safe space for little boys to become men but what you’re suggesting sounds like you want her to shelter them, remain repressed & carry on with the same old way the world has always been. No one wins if things stay as they are.
Unbelievable..❤ is all I can say. Take the Beauty out of it. I love the way she is and her personality reminds me of myself so much. For sure my dream wife she could be way different looking and I’d feel the same! We just are two of the same people with Therapy and all that crazy in all honesty, whatever guy should be lucky and holding her hand threw every session of Therapy and giving her their shoulder to cry on when needed. I feel like that’s Megan’s whole deal every Man on this earth goes to her and treats her the way they do in all honesty is because of her looks, when her soul make should look at the inner soul and that’s what makes Megan so Beautiful it’s not just her looks I’d say that’s a small part. Reminder this is just my opinion and the way i would treat her if I was married or with someone like her!!!!
So glad smart human still exist
Who has been telling women lip injections are attractive 😂
Social media
I like Megan Publish it pls ❤
Gotta get it.
She just keeps loooking more an more like an immature wanna be rocker. She needs to grow up. Also we all know the book is mainly about Mgk….. break up! Stop chasing him around and trying to be like him. Ur a mom!!!! An most people I’d imagine won’t want a sad book of poems by a cheated on washed up ex teen movie hot girl now dressed like a 13 ur old whose pushing 40. I know I’m gonna get attacked for this. It’s true tho. She’s lost her mind! Shoulda stayed w her kids dad. He still seems normal and she wasn’t writing sad books or looking all weird.
Facts
Why should she stay with her ex when they were having major issues? Totally not okay for any of us to tell another person to stay in an unhealthy relationship.
talking about being a victim becomes trendy... thats how some make money this way...
Good for her
I love her
Why is her necklace blurred out? 🤔 she definitely requested it be blurred. Say MGK’s name? What you think.
It says ABCDEF*CK (by Dylanlex) that is why it is blurred.
God damn she is hot AF. Even with all the cosmetic surgery. Eyes are still perfection and face is perfectly proportioned. At her transformer days, she was peak perfection. Whatever she is saying just goes to Charle Brown teacher route.
She did the right thing
She kind of looks like a young Demi Moore.
Omg. ❤
Im rich, im beautiful. Uh huh huh! Lifes tough, get a helmet.

@@balladofahomeschooledboy0514I don't get that vibe from her. Britney's book just came out. You can't tell me that Megan Fox just wrote her book of poems two weeks ago.
