Megan Fox has some new interviews to promote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. She’s talking a lot, which usually means trouble. I laughed at something she said to E! Online. She was discussing the delicate balance of duties as a new-ish mother and admitted she and Brian Austin Green don’t have sex these days: “Brian doesn’t get any intimacy whatsoever.” I’ll go to hell for thinking that’s funny. I can’t stop picturing Brian’s face when he hears what his wife told the world. The news isn’t surprising to those who’ve gone though an infant-induced dry spell. Mouths to feed. Diapers to change. Tears to soothe. Sex can feel like an obligation, and that’s no fun. Megan and Brian have two young kids, so they’re on double duty.
Megan is finished telling haters to “f— off“ for now. In a chat with the NYDN, she focuses upon writing the wrongs committed in previous interviews. I don’t think she’s even talking about comparing Michael Bay to Napoleon and Hitler. That story is Megan 101, but our archives reveal so many other hidden gems. Megan said some truly terrible things on previous press tours. It did feel like she went out of her way to offend people.
The calmer, gentler Megan Fox wants us to forget all of those awful quotes. She’s now a recluse and fears technology. Megan seems particularly fearful about the internet. Maybe she doesn’t want her lovely kiddos to see the dumb things their mom used to say. Megan says everything you’ve ever read about her is a lie, and all those interviews were sarcastic:
On red carpet life: “It’s never something that I really enjoyed, so I’ve always tried to stay away from it as much as possible. When you’re promoting a movie, you have to be out on the red carpet. That’s just part of it. But that kind of [glamour and exposure] was never a choice. I think [fearlessness] is something you’re born with. Maybe not in all cases, but a lot of famous people that have made it have to be [strong].”
All of those stupid interviews: “I don’t understand why people don’t have common sense and can’t identify sarcasm or, you know, some kind of self-deprecating humor. But people don’t expect that coming from me, for some reason. There have been so many salacious, ridiculous stories about me in the past. They were all asinine. If you have an insecurity issue or if you seek validation through the opinions of others, this industry is not for you. It will tear you to pieces, and you will not survive.”
She’s not into social media: “You don’t have to be quite so interactive. I mean, Twitter, there’s pressure to post an update several times a day — I’m much more private than that. I was on Twitter for five days, and I posted on my Facebook, and I was overwhelmed by it. I’ve never been somebody who gets on the Internet and reads about myself. It’s so damaging to the psyche and to your emotional well-being. ”
She loves JLaw: “I definitely think she’s ruling the world right now.”
Balancing work and home life: “Working 16 to 18 hours a day [on a film] makes it really hard to spend time with your children. The process has been difficult for me emotionally. People always tell you when you’re pregnant, ‘Sleep as much as you can now, because once your children are born, you’ll never sleep again!’ And you’re like ‘Yeah, OK.’ But it’s true! You don’t ever sleep the same.”
On Shia’s meltdown: “I’m not worried about Shia. I love my Shia. He’s perfectly fine. I haven’t talked to him in a couple of years, but I don’t worry about him. He’s a brilliant kid, talented and funny. … There’s no reason to worry.”
Her alternate careeer: “I would be archaeologist on the search for the Ark of the Covenant.”

Megan has no idea what’s really going on with Shia, right? She admits to not talking to him for years. Maybe Megan hasn’t read the stories about his chaotic behavior at Cabaret. Plus all the additional details involving tormenting homeless people and publicly urinating at a restaurant. Megan is so busy right now that she’s not even having sex with her husband, so keeping up with gossip may not be a priority.
Megan does have a point about social media. Some celebrities can handle it and use these platforms to their advantage, and other famous people should quit it. At least Megan has the common sense to know she can’t handle Twitter.

Her face is starting to look normal again.
That was my first thought as well–she’s looking like her normal gorgeous self again and not some plastic-faced doll. Hopefully she won’t mess around with her face anymore.
Yes, I thought so too! Her eyes are looking almost as gorgeous as they used to. It’s just these awful lips that are still swollen. Hope she can get her own lips back too.
She’s tweaked her face way too much already… You’re in the danger zone girl!
I agree….she’s done wayyyy too much work on her face that was already beautiful. Maybe she had some self esteem issues when she did all those surgeries, botox and god knows what else.
Seriously. She’s still gorgeous, but GURL…step away from the scalpel. NOW.
I thought she handled the Shia question well. She was smart to brush it off like that, actually.
I don’t hate Megan, but I think she’s a LOT more insecure and needy than she wants us to believe.
Also, I think she has clip-ins or extensions in some of those photos. She still has really pretty, long hair, but I think the longer pieces are not hers.
Well, I mean, judging by what she did to her face alone, she’s obviously had some kind of insecurity.
Exactly.
Yeah she handled the question with Shia professionally.
And I also think she’s wearing extensions. I saw her on The View talkshow today and that hair was wayyy to long and shiny to be hers. …….It looked great on her though.
I also agree with you that she’s insecure in some way.
I remember her saying something one of those gossip mags that the most beautiful people are insecure.
So I guess that pretty much explains why she went wayyyy overboard to fix her face that didn’t need any enhancements whatsoever. 🙁
I still kinda like her.
I still find her beautiful.
So do I. But she doesn’t need anymore p.s.!
Yep.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with as beautiful eyes as hers. They are stunning.
She looks plastic but pretty in the first photo. Definitely with her on the celebs and social media thing, but she doesn’t think there’s any reason to worry about Shia? She must have no idea what he’s been doing.
Plus when you’re breastfeeding you get so much intimacy from the baby that you don’t crave it as much from the hubby. In my experience anyway.
I mainly feel like breastfeeding exhausts me too much
I can’t/couldn’t (my daughter is 16 months, still breastfeeding) have anyone else get up with her or have family or friends have her for too long. So I’m exhausted and by the time she’s settled, the thought of going and having sex is overwhelming
We’re also bedsharing so I’d have to go downstairs, grab my husband, pull out the couch. Ughh
I’d rather just go to sleep for as long as I can before she’s up again (she doesn’t sleep through the night yet)
Audrey, I’m with you. My younger kid never took a bottle (for various reasons), so he could never be away from me for too long and is still breastfeeding at 14 months. We also were bed sharing without the hubby for about six months (from age six months to 12 months — before that he liked being in his bassinet), but now he sleeps in his crib (yay!) and started sleeping through the night recently. In addition to what I said above about intimacy, I also used to feel like after someone was pawing at me all day and night, the last thing I wanted was someone else pawing at me while I had a moment away from the baby. I never told the hubby that I didn’t want him “pawing at me” though. Lol!
My baby is 15 months. He mostly sleeps through the night in his own crib and was mostly weaned till a nasty bout of teething and hand, foot, and mouth virus came along. I’m honestly afraid I will never want to have sex again. Is it the nursing that is killing my sex drive?
No, My baby is 13 mo and I didn’t nurse and I’m not feeling it either. For me, I get grabbed on so much that by the end of the day I really don’t want anyone touching me. I feel the same way you do and I can’t get used to my new, bigger body. Props to Meghan for being honest about it.
Part of it is also hormonal. After childbirth your body produces less estrogen, which affects sex drive and also decreases lubrication. And personally, I felt like my body had not belonged to me for the 10 months I was pregnant, plus the lack of sleep, plus the constant baby holding/wearing/nursing/feeding/etc. I just wanted my body to MYSELF. I also was so constantly in ‘mommy mode’ that I just didn’t feel very sexy. It gets better tho–my 3rd baby just turned 20 months and other than the exhaustion (which never seems to go away!) I’ve finally gotten back to normal the last couple months. I don’t know if we’ll ever have sex 7-10 times a week like we used to, but it’s at least at a good compromise level. 🙂
Is she breastfeeding, really? I mean she is working 16-18 hours a day, she hardly sees the kids.
She used to look so gorgeous in Hope and Faith.
I agree, until she went berzerk with the extreme botox addiction before even hitting age 22.
I don’t care for Megan Fox but I have to say I find it weird that she always tries to prove that she is funny. Just be funny Megan, don’t just say it. Her sarcastic humor is either way too subtle for general public to understand or she is using it for an excuse. I meet people both sides of the fence so I can’t say which.
why would someone so pretty do that to her face? It makes me sad. I hope she lets the toxins wear off, but she may be suffering from that collective Hollywood dysmorphia thing.
Her alternate careeer: “I would be archaeologist on the search for the Ark of the Covenant.”
I wanted to be Indiana Jones when I was a kid, too.
This is why Elvis didn’t want Priscilla to get pregnant.
I heard Elvis’ problem was that he wasn’t sexually attracted to mothers. Priscilla still wanted sex after giving birth but he did not want her that way anymore. So they both looked elsewhere.
She should’ve been archaelogist. No one would hear stupid quotes, watch bad acting and she wouldn’t be so demanding about her own looks. There’s still time, Megan.
How sure is she that he isn’t getting intimacy whatsoever? 😉
