Megan Fox speaks out about being hypersexualized by Hollywood

Megan Fox, the outspoken “Transformers” star who appeared to flame out in Hollywood immediately after talking out about the industry’s hypersexualization of gals, is obtaining a resurgence.

“It is a very little bit like becoming a phoenix, like becoming resurrected from the ashes,” Fox informed Instyle. The raven haired actress, 35, talked to the magazine about becoming vindicated in a write-up #Metoo Hollywood, exactly where the script has flipped and gals are objecting to becoming objectified.

In a 2009 interview with Wonderland magazine, she broke the Tinseltown omerta and bashed “Transformers” director Michael Bay, stating “he wishes to be like Hitler on his sets” and suggesting that she was upset with the way he filmed her lasciviously.

She was dropped from the franchise’s third installment, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” and Bay informed GQ that executive producer Steven Spielberg was at the rear of the directive.

“I was brought out and stoned and murdered at just one point,” she mentioned of the earlier decade. “And then suddenly everybody’s like, ‘Wait a second. We should not have done that. Let’s carry her back again.’ “

She partly retreated from the Hollywood scene immediately after “Jennifer’s Body” — a racy 2009 flick that was a comedy horror film but marketed as a racy thriller. Fox also married “90210” star Brian Austin Inexperienced with whom she experienced a few young children.

But she mentioned she experienced an epiphany when in South Africa filming the 2020 flick “Rogue.”

“I took all my crystals, and I set up my very little temple inside my area. I turned on this massive Tv set, and ‘Jonah Hex’ was on, which received panned in the press. It was meant to be horrible.”

She recognized the criticism was overblown.

“That evening, I stayed up and promised myself that I would never reside just one extra day of my existence from dread. I came dwelling, and my total existence modified. I received a divorce and I began doing the job extra and doing extra issues,” mentioned Fox, who is also in a high-profile connection with rapper Device Gun Kelly. “Then pretty much almost everything exploded from there,” she mentioned.

Her do the job in “Jonah Hex” and “Jennifer’s Body” has also been praised on the web by younger gals on observing it as a result of a extra modern day, feminist lens.

In her next act, she ideas to be just as unapologetic.

“I won’t lie, I do want to find a Marvel or a DC character that I have always desired to participate in, and do just one of people,” she mentioned, adding, “People hate on you as an actor for that due to the fact it does not get you the significant awards. I never give a f–k. Give me an MTV award. I never need a fucking BAFTA.”
