Megan Fox gets into heavy things in her petite book of poetry.
Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, out now, comes after years of suppressing her voice as not to upset the men in her life, the 37-year-old Jennifer’s Body actress writes in the 159-page book’s reader letter. She lets it all flow on topics including relationship abuse and pregnancy loss. And, yes, she shares verses about “twin flame” Machine Gun Kelly, with whom she’s had ups and downs, once comparing their romance to a “tsunami.”
Fox, who shares three children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, writes that she’s deeply in touch with her emotions and is able to articulate her feelings, but historically she felt unable to “because when I do it has made the men who have loved me feel intimidated, inadequate and insecure.” So she “spent all of my life making myself small so that others can feel confident” — a “sacrificial lamb” for “whichever beautiful, broken, self-absorbed idiot is currently hunting me down and draining my life force.” The 77 poems of “previously unspoken feelings of isolation, torment, self-harm, desperation, longing, restlessness, rage and general anguish” poured out after “one of said idiots finally broke me.”
