Stepfon Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 “I think that I was ahead of the #MeToo movement by almost a decade,” she tells me today. “I was always speaking out against some of the abusive, misogynistic, patriarchal things that were going on in Hollywood back in 2008 and 2009, way before people were ready to embrace that or tolerate it. And I actually got ridiculed for doing it. I think people just have had time to review that, in retrospect.” “I wasn’t allowed to be a human, because I was a topic of conversation and gossip and punch lines,” she tells me. While she still accepted a few roles, her public appearances dried up, “I was essentially in hiding for several years of my life” she says. But now she's reemerged in a post-#MeToo landscape, her status and career revised and reevaluated, and heralded as a feminist icon – although, as she tells me, not by everybody. https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/megan-fox-digital-cover-interview-april-2022
Gaia Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) She's right though. She was dragged through the mud by the GP/Media for claiming her issues were due to hollywoods misogyny and sexism because everyone would have rather believed she was a hot arrogant ***** who was just too difficult to work with Edited April 26, 2022 by Gaia
Blue Monday Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 She's not wrong, it feels like a lifetime ago at this point with how much has happened but I do remember her come up and how she was simultaneously beloved and hated for being hot. There's a lot to her working relationship with Michael Bay too.

drivers license Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 oh she's absolutely right & she should say it.
Beyonnaise Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) It’s true. She was treated as a sex object and got blackballed when she took agency for herself. I think that’s the difference between Transformers and Jennifer’s Body – in the former she was clearly being exploited for her sexuality by a pig male director, whereas in the latter you can tell it’s on Megan’s terms because she felt more comfortable with a female director.

Alyssa Edwards Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 She's right and she should say it. Also this was a fashion moment

Totami Legend Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I need her to make a memoir with all the juicy details.
Weld_E Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 She really was ahead of her time. She got blacklisted for calling out Michael Bay’s problematic ways. She needs to dump MGK for a proper redemption arc though
Oxy Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 She was right, but I still can’t see her returning in a big way cause her acting skills are limited.
