She said instead of being praised she was \u201cridiculed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that I was ahead of the #MeToo movement by almost a decade,\u201d Fox shared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamourmagazine.co.uk\/article\/megan-fox-digital-cover-interview-april-2022\">cover story<\/a> of a piece published Tuesday. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Megan said that talking about her experiences of \u201cmisogyny\u201d and being ridiculed\u00a0eventually led to her suffering a \u201cpsychological breakdown\u201d and completely stepping away from the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if the psychological breakdown was strictly related to being objectified, it was more related to just being dehumanized and criticized and judged constantly,\u201d Fox shared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen so many people around the world are thinking about you or have negative thoughts or intentions towards you, that energy permeates and penetrates me,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t have boundaries and walls for that. I\u2019m still human. I am still fragile in that way, I can feel. And that was part of the struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc0Yjp4ssU6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t allowed to be a human, because I was a topic of conversation and gossip and punch lines,\u201d the \u201cJennifer\u2019s Body\u201d star continued.\u00a0\u201cI was essentially in hiding for several years of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At one point, the \u201cTransformers\u201d star answered whether or not she was a feminist icon for speaking out and said she\u2019s \u201cnever felt\u00a0completely included in the feminist community\u201d because she said she wasn\u2019t seen as a \u201cvery sympathetic victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It seems] I have to meet a certain requirement or follow all of these rules,\u201d Fox shared. \u201cIt\u2019s very bizarre to get judged for, like, \u2018What if I am in a BDSM relationship? And I\u2019m like, yes \u2013 is that OK with you? Because that\u2019s what I want.\u2019 So, I shouldn\u2019t be outcast from the feminist community, because that is something that I prefer for myself. I feel sexual power in that way, by experiencing it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was being celebrated as being a feminist until I had the nerve to call my boyfriend, \u2018Daddy,&#8217;\u201d she added. \u00a0\u201cAnd a lot of people got upset about that, which I think is a funny conversation to actually have, because that goes into allowing women to be\u2026 women. Allowing us to experience what we want in life, what we like. That is feminism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox was previously married to actor Brian Austin Green and the two share three kids together. They divorced in 2022. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/and-then-we-drank-each-others-blood-megan-fox-and-machine-gun-kelly-get-engaged-and-celebrate-with-bodily-fluid-swap\">She started dating<\/a> fianc\u00e9 rapper Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, about a year ago after they met on the set of their movie \u201cMidnight in the Switchgrass.\u201d He has a daughter from a previous relationship.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
