Chapter 1: How does Megan Fox spend her nights?
Well, I usually stay by the fire and I like to read and I read a lot of metaphysical books. But right now I'm reading whatever that new like adult version of Twilight book that's out. It's like a erotic fairy book. Wait, isn't it like the King of or the Court of Thorns? Yeah, I'm reading that. Wait, does it like kind of make you horny? I haven't gotten to the horny part yet.
But I know that I'm going to get there because I know that he has the ability to bind her energetically with magic. And I'm already like, I'm here for that.
That'll do it for you. Yeah. I remember my friend was reading it. She was like, Alex, I'm not kidding you. I keep waking my boyfriend up in the middle of the night because I'm like, I'm reading about fairies, but something get me going. I'm like, I don't understand it. Maybe I need to read it.
I'm not there yet, but I feel like you should. And it's definitely... A lot more interesting than most of the like psychological textbooks that I read by the fire at night.
You're reading textbooks over there? Sometimes.
You enjoy that? Can't say I enjoy it. I think that I do it out of – I made like a really clear decision when I was young to avoid the pitfalls or like the traps of social media or just internet usage in general. And so I kind of go out of my way and maybe it's annoying to be this way, but to counter that by attempting to educate myself. By the way, I didn't graduate high school.
So I think a lot of that is just like pursuing things that I'm interested in and wanting to have as much information about it as possible and trying to not become
just like a plebeian or like a mindless brainwashed sheep i think most of us today are mindless sheep because i feel that way sometimes when i'm on social media too much i'm like what is happening up here like i i'm not when is last time i had an original thought i'm mindlessly scrolling yeah we gotta get it gives me anxiety like i have group chats with my friends and they'll send me links to things but i don't keep like the instagram app downloaded or anything like that but
Even just like if they send me a link to something on Twitter and I open the Twitter website. just the energy from the website gives me so much anxiety that I feel like I immediately contract like ADHD. And I can feel how I'm not able, my thoughts are not able to sustain the same way. And that's just from being exposed to it for like five seconds.

Chapter 2: Why did Megan Fox decide to get a sleeve tattoo?
Yeah.
What was the story behind that? Like how did you decide to do that?
Well, back when I dyed my hair from the auburn colored red that it was to this color, it was like a bright red. During that metamorphosis, I decided I had bought these weird – I became a victim of Teemu. Wait, what? Do you know what that happened? Yes, only because of Super Bowl. Someone introduced me to Teemu and I was like, what is this though?
And I was victimized and I ordered a bunch of like stick on tattoos and like fun things to do with my kids. And some of them were fake sleeves because I was like, oh, my kids will love to do this. And I did it on me. And I was like, wow, I love it. And I... made an appointment to get my arm done. And I started it, but the artist I was working with had a different vision than what I wanted.
And so we got halfway up my arm. Dust in the wind was playing and just that line repeating over and over again. Nothing lasts forever, finally. but the earth and sea and your tattoos that you get kept playing. And I was like, okay, I have to stop because this isn't my vision. It wasn't a bad tattoo. It just wasn't what I wanted. So we stopped with half the tattoo. I kept that for like six months.
And then I found an artist to cover it. Most people would say I'm grounded, but I'm also very impulsive. Like when I decide to do something, it must be done right then. I can't decide it and then do it months from now. Or I'm not, I can't plan anything. far into the future. It has to happen instantly. And so once I found the cover artist, I was like, we have to get it done.
And we just did it four days in a row. It was like six hours a day. They won't tattoo usually past six hours in one sitting because your skin starts rejecting the ink. So I just did it four days in a row and sleeved it. And then it healed very weird. It It was very weird.
It just healed. It was just fine. Someone that you know also got a lot of new ink and I have to ask about it or I would get roasted on the internet. MGK. Should I call him MGK? Sure. Or Coulson or MGK. Whatever you want. He...
posted and i saw all the comments of everyone mostly being like what does megan think about his new tattoo what does megan think what does megan think and now i'm sitting here in person with you and i'm like i have to ask you like what did you think when you saw the tattoo well he has like a really special story behind why he did that which obviously i'll leave for him to tell but he had a relationship with the tattoos that he had that he was very conflicted emotionally whatever they represented and i don't actually know

Chapter 3: What are the craziest rumors about Megan Fox?
So you're tattooing the scar tissue, which makes it even more painful. I don't know, I don't know. His liver is also probably not doing well at this time.
prayers for colson yeah um i was thinking about as i was reading those comments i'm like the internet is such a wild place what is the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself on the internet there's lots of those we could talk about that for a while let's talk about it okay let's talk about it um i guess one of the ones that's very persistent
is that I'm like satanic or do satanic rituals or maybe adjacent to Illuminati or something in that vein, which I think really started – I don't know why it started. There was just like that one time that I said I drink blood ritualistically. Yeah. And then everybody was like, wow, she's into satanic rituals. Classic. But that was a very misunderstood...
thing let me try to explain it give us like some context okay here's the context everything is a matter of like what you're accustomed to or what is currently like socially acceptable or normal and back in like the 50s even how many times did you see like probably never but like on leave it to beaver or like movies from back then or even the 80s how many times did you see like little boys would go out with like their little pop guns and
They would cut their fingers and like be blood brothers, right? And they're like, we're best friends forever now. And they would like smush the blood together on their fingers. That's not satanic, right? That's normal and that's cute. That's sweet. That's like an innocent like – Little bond. Yeah, it's a little bond between kids who love each other. They have a pure friendship.
It's like that except instead of rubbing your fingers together, the drop of blood goes –
your mouth and i don't know what why that becomes satanic i understand people are like hey that's weird but guess what i think is weird i think it's weird that girls are out here letting guys come in their mouth and they don't know these guys you're letting somebody put their sperm in your mouth and you don't know what he does he doesn't even have a job you met him on tender he's an entrepreneur or whatever he's in a startup
And you just let him sperm in your mouth. That's disgusting. That makes my back hurt. That makes me sweaty. So fuck you. You're so offended that I got a drop of Machine Gun Kelly's blood in my mouth. You have Brandon from Silicon Valley's sperm in your mouth. He didn't even buy you a nice drink.
I'm crying. Honestly, though, it's a matter of perspective. What is so gross about what I did with my soulmate? You guys are out here letting strangers come on you. This is disgusting.

Chapter 4: What was Megan Fox's childhood like?
And I'm not really sure why I always came through that way except that I have – no one's going to know what I'm talking about right now, but I have Mars on my ascendant in astrology. So I have like a warrior energy that I was born with and I think that was translated as being like maybe masculine as a child because it wasn't docile. But I was –
Like a good kid, I was like a little mischievous and never interested in school, always knew that that was not for me. What was the dynamic like in your house? Um, my parents got divorced when I was three. And prior to that, I just remember both my parents are still alive. And so I want to be careful not to drag them.
But while also being honest, I remember my mother's depression was really, really affected me very deeply. And it was very visceral for me. And like if I were to draw an image of my mother from my childhood, it would be her like, this is not a literal image, but she just always seemed like a soaking wet blanket or draped over a couch weeping.
That would be my image of mother because I was so connected to her sadness or her feelings of being unfulfilled and also her resentment towards relationships. My dad, before I skip ahead, my dad is like really outgoing and funny and charming and like really unique and sparkly. And they – she was – I don't know. She was not fulfilled in that relationship for whatever reason. They got divorced.
From my perspective as a three-year-old, he kind of disappeared for a little while. She immediately got remarried. My stepdad who was passed was – Probably had borderline personality, but back then he was diagnosed, I think, bipolar. And so he was emotionally and mentally and verbally very abusive to me, not to her. And he isolated me from her and.
just in general, like I wasn't allowed to have friends over or like go to anyone's house. So I spent a lot of time isolated in my room and wasn't able to really even spend much. He wanted her. I guess he isolated her is really what was happening. But it seemed as though I was the one being isolated. Then I watched her depression through that relationship as well.
And so the messaging that I received is that men and marriage in particular drain you of your life force and keep you from being able to express your creativity or express your unique desires and And it's an oppressive experience to be in a relationship or to be in love or to be married. In particular, being married. Like when I say the word being married, I feel my chakras tighten up.
Really?
I feel my back like, yeah, get tight. Even though I was married for a long time. Yeah.

Chapter 5: How did Megan Fox's relationship with her body develop?
The world received me that way as well with a lot of contention and a lot of negativity and a lot of projection. And so it's a part of my identity, but it's a survival mechanism to say I'm a pariah. Like I'm an outlier. That's who I am and I'm proud of that and that's who I need to be now. That's how I self-identify. But really that comes from a deep wound of –
looking to have belonged somewhere at some point in my life and never finding a place that I fit.
That's really actually interesting to hear because I was going to say, like, on one hand, it is a survival mechanism for you to get through. But I'm also like, isn't that lonely? Yeah.
Yeah, it's super lonely. But I was a lonely baby. Yeah, I've been I've been lonely my whole life. So and when I meet with like, I've met every healer, every psychic, every they're always like, well, this is your nine life path. This is your life last life. You're an old soul. Old souls are lonely. Old souls are sad.
you've been doing this a long time, you've been through a lot of trauma, you've had every kind of experience you can have. And there's like this sort of bittersweet experience of it's, it's lonely. But I also know that part of my purpose is to be in service to others, my children in particular. But yeah, it's not a it's not a particularly like, I feel alone.
Yeah.
A lot. But to answer your question about high school and middle school, I wasn't cool. I had an eating disorder in middle school, a really bad one. I had to be hospitalized twice. And I was left in there like – my mom will say she took me out for Christmas. I don't think that's accurate. I think I was in there for Christmas.
But I was in there for a few months at a time every time they would put me in. Essentially, I was 5150'd. because my eating disorder was so bad. I had braces. I plucked out all of my eyebrows. And when you do that, when you pluck your eyebrows, by the way, for anyone that's ever going to do this, if you do that when you're sick or your immune system is down, those hairs don't grow back.
So plucked my eyebrows out. Most of them never grew back. Why did you pluck them out? It was like cutting or like any kind of a – I was just doing things to myself to like – not disfigure myself, but it was a compulsive action that I didn't understand at the time. And then in high school, like if you saw my high school yearbook picture, by that point I was cute again.

Chapter 6: Why does Megan Fox feel misunderstood in Hollywood?
Mm-hmm.
When I think about you and sense the rise of your career, I feel like your name in the public eye has been synonymous with the phrase sex symbol, right? How does that make you feel?
I've never been particularly attached to that, to be honest. I don't have an emotional reaction to that. I don't believe, but let me sit here and analyze it while you're asking me. I think it adds pressure to a girl who, like I said, has body dysmorphia and didn't really ever see herself that way. And the things that I thought were my strengths, like my mind, my intelligence, or...
um my sense of humor which is granted like very niche sometimes but um those things are not acknowledged and instead I'm being acknowledged for something that I don't identify with or as and so that's almost like this artifice it's like forcing me to wear a character that I don't actually I wasn't trying to wear.
And then also you assign the character to me and then you torture and demonize the character. And I was never that. I was never her. Like, you created her and then you murdered her. And that... I love that I started this out by being like, I don't have an emotional attachment to this. Like, you fucking killed me, bitch. But I think...
To just being called a sex symbol, I don't initially have a reaction. But to the whole process of what really happened, and it's into just being famous in general and the process of fame, has been really haunting, to be honest. Because, like I said, the media and people built up this character and then decided to destroy her because...
I don't know why there's a need to like worship and then, and destroy worship and then destroy. And I was always a sensitive person. kid, but I had to wear armor to survive my childhood and I had to wear armor to survive being famous. And so there's this energy of me of that, you know, that I don't give any fucks.
And to some degree, that's true in terms of I would never change anything about myself in order to get someone to like me. So in that way, I don't give any fucks. That doesn't mean that I don't get my feelings hurt and that when I'm being bullied or dragged, that that doesn't cause me to be mentally unwell sometimes because it absolutely does and did.
And in 2009, crossing into 2010, I had been famous, not even that long, only a couple of years, but the fame was so heightened. It was so intense. that all the energy started peaking and I was going through this process of I was getting crucified in the press every day and on whatever the blogs were at that time, there was no social media, but like Perez Hilton and like, was it Nikki Swift?

Chapter 7: How has fame affected Megan Fox's mental health?
But to men, I mean, I was going to read this to you. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with the world? I read an old article, okay? And they described you as... a screensaver on a teenage boy's laptop, a middle-aged lawyer's shower fantasy, and a sexual prop used to sell movies. Like the objectification of you, Megan Fox is so much larger than you.
It is like the embodiment of misogyny and what's wrong with our fucking society. And it's terrifying even hearing though it come from your own voice of like, I didn't ask for this. I'm not out there selling my body and my soul to this. Like I'm just trying to do my job and somehow people are like, take her the fuck down.
Yeah. I also, it was always confusing to me because I never really did anything bad. I was never like associated with drugs or alcohol. I was never around until recently. Anyone who's been associated with drugs or alcohol, I was never caught at clubs. I was never arrested. I was never, I never did anything outside of having like
a kind of Andy Kaufman-esque sense of humor, which people don't understand, that is my greatest crime. And so it was very hard to understand in the beginning. And I'll be honest with you, it's hard to keep enduring it because I did step away for a decade And I did all this work on myself spiritually and thought that I was transcending and growing and becoming a better person.
And so when I got divorced and I started dating Colson, inevitably, I was sort of thrust back into the light, the synthetic light, not the real light. And I thought that either it would be different. I would be attracting a different experience to myself this time because my level of consciousness was so much higher.
Or my ability to deal with it would be so much better at this point because I was a different person. And I have not found that to be the case at all. I've been doing it. It's going on the fourth year now. And it is wearing me down. I'll be honest.
It's very hard, I think, because I don't have a family support system or like a large group of – I don't feel that I belong because I am – I do feel so alone. Like you said, when you have to deal with something and you don't have siblings or you feel like you're by yourself, you internalize – And then it can become very grim very quickly.
And I do – I am kind of getting to the end of my rope with that. I'll be honest. Like I'm struggling with it again. It feels like I was in a wormhole. Like I left 2009 and I'm like right back in where I left off. And there was no growth, which makes me feel defeated. And I just – I really – I can't believe how negative – human beings are and how cruel they need to be to everyone.
This is not just me, but that also weighs on me because I have kids and I have one kid who's like an artistic savant and that kid will inevitably be in the spotlight somehow. It's impossible that they won't. And I know how cruel the world is because I've lived through it and I don't think I can endure watching what my child is going to have to go through.

Chapter 8: What is Megan Fox's view on plastic surgery?
It is the perfect balance of feminine and daring, and it's got this incredible staying power and leaves my skin feeling radiant and glowing. It really is the perfect balance of citrus and florals. It's so fresh and sexy. If you are ready to experience something new, trust me, Daddy Gang. L'Ibe Le Neu, a refreshing twist on the iconic L'Ibe Eau de Parfum.
I personally have this fragrance and I will say my favorite thing, although yes, I love my husband thinking I smell good. There is nothing better when women or your girlfriends compliment you. And every single time I have worn this fragrance, my girlfriends are like, no, what are you wearing? Give it to me right now. That smells so freaking good. And Matt is obsessed with it.
I'm always looking for something that has a fresh citrus floral scent, but it needs to still be that perfect balance of not overpowering, but still bold. And this has exactly that. So Daddy Gang, if you want to try it out, shop now at Sephora.
Can we just talk about plastic surgery? Yeah, let's talk. Okay. So I'm just going to go through all the things that I've done. Love. Because I feel like there's this... stigma and i'm not gonna win i'm gonna do this i'm not gonna win okay however i'm hoping it sets some people free let's go because i feel like
People are like, well, if you were to ask women, they would be like, well, we say these things, we bully you. Some of my favorite comments are from women, and I don't often read them, but sometimes I'm in the mood and I'm like, I want to interact with a troll. And it takes one second for them to start pouring into my Instagram feed or my comments.
And they're often from women where I'll be like, holy shit, that is a particularly cruel thing to say. Who is this person? And I'll click on it and she'll be like, women's life coach, crystal healing, tantric lessons, divine feminine. And she's under my comments being like, you know, crucifying me for being plastic or whatever.
So there's, but if you were to ask her, she would be like, well, that's because she perpetuates an unhealthy standard of beauty. Right. But, and so here I am, I'm going to be fully transparent. I still won't win because there are some girls who have been, who have been transparent. I don't want to like bring people in, but someone like a Kylie has been very transparent. Yeah.
That is not helping her. Women are still brutally dragging her just the same and totally undeserved. She's a beautiful, healthy, young, gorgeous girl. And I actually feel, for whatever reason, very protective when I watch other girls go through this. I want to defend them or...
go to war for them but okay i'll go through here's things i haven't done that i have been accused of doing okay and then i'll confirm the things i have done okay i've never had a facelift of any kind so no mid facelift no like lateral brow lift although i would like one or no regular brow lift um i've never done threads i have researched them that's not because of some moral thing
