It leads to self-hate.

And I actually got ridiculed for doing it. I think people just have had time to review that, in retrospect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox said that talking about her experiences of \u201cmisogyny\u201d and being part of \u201cpunch lines\u201d eventually 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 Megan explained.<\/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<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t allowed to be a human, because I was a topic of conversation and gossip and punch lines,\u201d Fox continued. \u201cI was essentially in hiding for several years of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\u201d star\u00a0was previously married to actor Brian Austin Green and the two share three children together.
