Megan Fox's Exes Left 'Squirming' by Her Poetry Book: A Satisfying Triumph
Megan Fox bravely exposes her tumultuous past relationships in her powerful poetry book, 'Pretty Boys Are Poisonous', shedding light on the dark realities of abuse and leaving her exes squirming with discomfort
Megan Fox refrained from revealing the identities of her exes in her poetry book, but they are aware of their own involvement.
In her recently released collection of poems, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, the 37-year-old actress candidly shared her experiences of past relationships that were both physically and psychologically abusive. Although she opted not to mention specific names, her reason for doing so was valid.
According to an insider in the latest issue of We, choosing this method and being slightly more obscure has led to a decrease in legal complexities for Megan. Calling out the wealthy and renowned men who allegedly exploited her would have proven exceedingly challenging. The source exclusively reveals that while nerve-wracking, Megan is now relieved to have expressed what she needed to. Additionally, the insider mentions that without publicly revealing the identities of her former partners, Fox finds contentment in knowing that they are experiencing discomfort.
Following the release of the book on November 7th, Fox clarified that while much of the writing is metaphorical, it is not fictional. In a recent interview on Good Morning America, she emphasized that the experiences shared in the book are real-life events she personally went through. She further explained that the book is not an exposé or a memoir, but rather a reflection of her experiences with physical and psychological abuse in multiple relationships. Additionally, she revealed that she had connections with well-known individuals who were both infamous and famous, but no one is aware of her involvement with them.
In the poem titled "Oxycodone and Tequila," Fox depicted a relentless "demon of rage" who would strike her until she tasted the familiar essence of blood. In another poem titled "F–ed Up Fairy Tales," she delved into a tumultuous connection with a "violent boy" who embodied fury and insecurities. Fox vividly remembered how he would employ his "beautiful and powerful hands" to inflict harm upon her.
Furthermore, the actress candidly shared her thoughts on her relationship with her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, in the poems. She referred to him as her "true love" and "twin flame," while also acknowledging his narcissistic tendencies as a 32-year-old rock star who had become complacent.
In a poem titled "A Beautiful Boy Is a Deadly Drug," Fox, who also has sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 6, with ex Brian Austin Green, seemingly draws a comparison between her relationship with Kelly, 33, and an addiction that cannot be cured by prayers. She also shares that she experienced a miscarriage during their time together.
Fox and Kelly got engaged in 2022, but there were rumors of a split earlier this year. In February, a source revealed that they had a major disagreement at a Super Bowl party, resulting in Fox removing all photos of Kelly from her social media. Last month, another source disclosed that they have decided to postpone their wedding plans in order to prioritize their relationship and ensure its stability before moving forward.
Despite being open about the challenges they face as a couple in her book, Fox shared on The Drew Barrymore Show that they believe in being honest in their artistic expressions, even if it means revealing less flattering aspects of their relationship.
"He being an artist himself and acknowledging the cathartic outlet he finds through songwriting, helps immensely," Fox disclosed. She further mentioned that she has learned to "release" her grip on lyrics in Kelly's songs that don't portray her positively.
"Regardless of the situation, as long as it remains truthful, then so be it," she declared. "I must take responsibility for my actions and my part within a relationship, and if someone wishes to express that through art, they are entitled to do so."
Fox acknowledged that she would not hold any of her past romantic partners responsible for writing about her. She stated that those who were involved with her during her early twenties should consider publishing their own compilation of poems, as she admits to not being the easiest person to be in a relationship with.
