While Megan Fox might have been pushed out of Hollywood for her critical comments about director Michael Bay, the actress has also been resistant to the sexist treatment she’s received.
In a 2019 interview with ET, Fox looked back on the 2009 film she was in, Jennifer’s Body, and how sexualized she was expected to be: “It wasn’t just that movie, it was everyday of my life, all the time, with every project I worked on and every producer I worked with.” Fox added: “It preceded a breaking point for me.”
Fox said this constant expectation to be sexualized led to a psychological breakdown. According to ET, Fox explained: “I didn’t want to be seen, I didn’t want to have to take a photo, do a magazine, walk a carpet, I didn’t want to be seen in public at all… so I went through a very dark moment after that.”
While this must have been really painful, Fox seems to be doing better. According to the Daily Mail, she is still happily married to her husband, Brian Austin Green and they have three sons: Bodhi, Noah, and Journey.
Thankfully, Fox has moved on and shared with ET: “I felt like I was suffering but now having a different outlook and having grown the way that I have grown, it made me a much better human being.”
