Megan Fox In 'Interview': I Lied About My Personality

Megan Fox opens up to Zach Galifianakis about her private life and her misrepresentation of it in a cover story for Interview magazine.

"In the past, I've been reluctant to share any bits of truth about myself or to really let people in on my reality," she said. "So I have said some things to throw people off the scent of what's really going on in my life. So I have sort of aided the media in printing these misconceptions, which I regret."

Megan also talked about the paparazzi.

"I don't really resent being on the red carpet as much as I do having to deal with the paparazzi," she said. "The photographers on the red carpet, that's their job."

Michael Bay recently replaced Megan with Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in 'Transformers.'

Actually... I am proud of Megan for admitting her error.
To many of us make spend our lives living up to an image...and we miss the freedom and fulfillment of just being authentic. be yourself man.

Imagine isn't everything...unfortunately in Hollywood its is.

I don't see why she should feel like she has to be "real" with any of the public. It's really nobody's business but hers. Having said that, I can't really understand why anyone would care about who she "really is." She's an actress and a model. Full stop.

I don't have anything against her. She started taking heat for dissing the Transformers movie and Michael Bay...which a lot of people were doing too. That movie was absolute garbage and not how you want to see a beloved franchise handled. That photo of her is stunning btw.

OMG! The villain in the third installment of the Transformers will be shockwave. WTF! HP do a story on this so I can properly vent my anger!

She was really good in "Jennifer's Body". What is her crime - dissing a Hollywood hack like Michael Bay. So, she realizes that "The Transformers" is mindless garbage but doesn't have the judgement to not say it out loud. Its amazing to me how conventional many of the people who post on gossip threads are (maybe it shouldn't be). Its like High School where people work out their frustrations by giving eachother permission to pile on someone - to attempt to tear them apart. On top of it, Fox is breathtakingly beautiful so that stirs up envy. If a man were to say the things she said it would have not been anywhere as big of an offensive. Beautiful young women are suppose to be submissive and demur. I can tell she has talent from "Jennifer's Body" so I'm looking forward to what she does in a serious drama such as the upcoming "Passion Play". THEN we'll be able to judge her talent. She does have guts.

Megan..we really don't care how offensive you find the paparazzi..really..it's not like you have made any lasting contributions to the film world let alone the real world..you seem to have fallen into the celeb trap whereas you feel that you are bigger than the other hard-working folks out in la-la land..you my dear at this point in your career are a flash in the pan..it would serve you to step back from the hollywood scene for a minute and see how shallow you have become..

I know she was being fake and just saying things to be seen as outrageous, sexual, and get attention. Like saying she fell in love with a stripper. Please. It was all a fake attempt to titillate people. Desperate. Now she comes up with this excuse because she realizes the press has gotten out of hand now. She enjoyed it. She's a young girl though. She'll grow up.

I purchased both Transformers DVDs but I won't purchase the third movie because Megan is not in it. I don't like how the boys always treat the women as disposal and “lets just get a new one” attitude. I believe Megan's story and growth in the movie is just as important as the boy's.

Does it seem typical that when men, in a position of power, argue with a woman they play dirty? After the movie was already made, the director or producer (I forgot which), and Megan argued, however, had he argued with a male actor would this director/producer have retaliated and fired one of the male actors? Probably not.

Even though men probably see the movie and purchase the majority of the DVDs for the Transformer movies, there are plenty of women like myself who’ve done the same, but intend to refrain from seeing the third edition in the movies and from purchasing the DVD as I’ve done in the past, and I hope many more women do the same. Megan and any woman in movie franchise should not always be the first one dumped and treated as expendable.

I just finished watching her in Jennifer's Body and I thought she was rather good. I have not seen the Transformer movies as I am not into those type of moves so I can not comment.

I think its fashionable to beat up Megan Fox, and people are going with the flow.

i agree with the majority of your post but have a couple of additions:
1) the whole idea that her character was treated as a 'lesser' individual was demeaning. she was a one dimensional character who was treated by her 'boyfriend' as a deadweight and was the mental and emotional punchingbag for him. her character in no way empowers women but in fact makes them appear as nothing but eyecandy and hormone release.
2) she made the mistake of publically saying that (director) Michael Bay was 'Hit/er on the set...' and needless to say that cost her her job.
so gotta say that her actions in the 'real' world cost her her job but on the whole the character she portrayed was in no way beneficial to any female actresses in any way.
