Megan Fox's Dark Past: She Used To Cut Herself

Filed under: Megan Fox > Sad Sad

wenn5351611megg.jpg

It's always hard to read about a celebrity that has gone through such dark times, especially when they have so much going for them now.

Such is the case with the beautiful Megan Fox who opened up about her dark days to Rolling Stone magazine.

When she was asked about ever having an eating disorder, Megan wouldn't really say, stating that she didn't want to talk about it because if she did she would be "taking on a role-model status, and I’d have to choose my words very carefully, and I’d have to make sure I reveal it in a specific way, and I don’t want to do it."

What she did admit to was cutting herself during her teenage years:

"Yeah, but I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they’re growing up, when they’re miserable and do different things, whether it’s an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting."

Wow. Heavy stuff.

    OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! She's just trying to make headlines again. She is so desperate to be Angelina Jolie its sickening. Next she'll be admitting to heroin abuse.



  2. 2

    aww :(



  3. 3

    omg!



  4. 4

    Shut chyo mouf



  5. 5

    i sympathize that she's been through all this, but seriously is there anything she won't tell the world. we all have problems but we don't all go around broadcasting our problems to gain publicity for a movie.



  6. 6

    who cares!



  7. 7

    How's the Piggy Boy Presents tour going lard ass? Has Sliimy gotten hosed down and de-loused? What's that? I'm off topic? Oh, sorry!!



  8. 8

    when will her nonsense end



  9. 9

    that explains why she's so self-concious and a bit crazy at times



  10. 10

    .



  11. 11

    attention whore



  12. 12

    Dumb bitch STFU!
    trying so hard to live up to the crazy
    original Angelina from the 'girl interrupted' / Billy Bob days.



  13. 13

    I don't know what happened to you Megan but it must have been very harsh



  14. 14

    When I read about her temper and how she feels so angry sometimes the first thing that came to mind was 'she's Borderline' but I wasn't sure if she was the type to ever engage in self harming behavior. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if she has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder; she's like the poster child for it.



  15. 15

    anyone getting that much plastic surgery at such a young age has to have serious self-esteem problems. I feel sorry for her. She seems really troubled. Still.



  16. 16

    i dont think its that surprise
    teenage years are very complex
    i was even in a depress stage
    but i got out of it now im very happy
    ps in 15

    more teens try different things they regret cutting was hers



  17. 17

    Issue du jour. Wonder what her next "issue" will be - I'm sure she be babbling about something else soon. Sorry, but I'm not buyin' any of this crap. Like Katie Price (or whatever her name is) being raped - these people are ridiculous media whores.



  18. 18

    Join the club. The very big club.



  19. 19

    oh god another BORDERLINE!!!! How did I miss that? she is classic!



  20. 20

    oOooOo How Angelina of her! Would someone PLEASE make this chick shut the fuck up!



  21. 21

    GOOD! HIT AN ARTERY NEXT TIME AND SPARE US YOUR BENIGN BRAINDEAD ACTING YOU VAPID FUCKING WHORE



  22. 22

    Women like her are the reason girls that have real problems are considered attention whores. It's disgusting, honestly.



  23. 23

    she is so full of shit!



  24. 24

    She should CUT her throat!!!



  25. 25

    She has really nice eyebrows! That's about the only positive thing about her imo!



  26. 26

    so…
    i don't care



  27. 27

    Sad but predictable all the ignorant comments that will come about borderline personality disorder. If you don't understand it don't talk about it. People who try to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings by being disrespectful towards the difficulties of others are the truly pathetic ones.



  28. 28

    who hasn't? bo-ring.



  29. 29

    Who cares???? Why is she given any attention?



  30. 30

    thats disgusting



  31. 31

    Okay I was fine with her anger issues, her bashing Micheal Bay, her smoking her pot, but I draw the line here.
    She's definitely not helping any images for people who are stuggling. Not all people who cut themselves are just 'dabbling' in it.
    These are things that should be kept to yourself. Yeah yeah it's awesome she has no shame, but again she should kind of…like, I dunno, keep her mouth shut every once in a while?



  32. 32

    She cut her nose in half with her plastic surgery! But the result is great!



  33. 33

    One word for this chick… CONTRIVED! Everything about her is fake! From her nose to her hair to her bisexuality to her "dark" past… all FAKE!!! She's trying soooo hard. Yuck! I'll take Angelina over this wannabe any day!!



  34. 34

    Woooow…this chick really wants attention.



  35. 35

    *****************yawn*****************



  36. 36

    Wooow…this chick really wants attention.



  37. 37

    please shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  38. 38

    Her nose bothers me … i hate it and i don't think she is as hot as everyone says she is.. ewww



  39. 39

    So.. she is going to "touch" on it.. not go into any detail… to, um, help people? to prove how "tragically hip" she is?

    It makes me think of middle school.. when girls were lesbians because they thought it made them "cool" and "edgy".



  40. 40

    God she is such a phony, trying so hard to be anything but herself.



  41. 41

    IF ITS TRUE .* THATS SAD:[[.
    but if shes making this up for attention then she really does have a problem.** because there are actually real teens out there who have problems like that its not funny. and they probably wish they dont have to go through that and shes using this to get attention???.::.. PATHETIC.** shes a gorgeous girl she just needs to be herself.* she probably is though who knows?…but then again im sure if a person really is some way people wouldnt question it.**



  42. 42

    You know she takes a lot of flak from everyone on her answers, but at least she was smart in how she answered those questions. She was right in that anything she said would be viewed in a way to put upon her the role model status. She just answers the questions she is asked. You can't blame her for that. At least she was honest and didn't go into details to make it look like she was aiming for attention. I like her and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I don't take everything she says as word as I believe she does just say shit to shock people. You have to take her with a grain of salt people. Too many take her way too seriously…hence all the hate.



  43. 43

    What a coincidence. Angelina used to cut herself too……



  44. 44

    Re: cheesemeister – Agreed and well said I might add.

  45. USFit says – reply to this


    45

    She sounds so similar to Angelina Jolie. It's pretty weird because Angelina said she would beat up Billy Bob Thorton if he ever cheated on her and she has a tattoo that to many people symbolizes getting over addictions (eating disorders) in latin on herself. Now here we have Megan who said she tells her boyfriend she's going to cut him or shoot him and she used to be a cutter like Angelina.

    MEGAN FOX is really ANGELINA JOLIE! I mean, are the two any different at all really?



  46. 46

    Oh, yawn, how dreary. What will we learn next week? She was attacked by a great white shark or struck by lightning? Will somebody please send this silly bitch over to wash my pickup truck??



  47. 47

    Ok, is there anything that sounds crazy/misfit/ mad/ gay/ action thing she didn't do/ have/ want!? She so full of herself beeing seen as a crazy young angelina-wannabe.. disgusting!! Shut up! Just shut up and look good, thats everything you can achieve..



  48. 48

    YOU WILL NEVER BE ANGELINA JOLIE!, THIS GIRL IS SO ANNOYING! .. MAYBE SHE CUT OFF HER FINGERS, THAT EXPLAINS WHY THEY ARE NOW STUBBY!



  49. 49

    Re: cheesemeister
    Has it occured to you that she might be taking something that is very serious, and using it to futher her own career, in spite of millions of people who suffer from this affliction every day? She's not issuing a public service announcement, she is using this for her agenda and her agenda alone. Shame.



  50. 50

    So now she's a cutter, who's bisexual and can never own a gun coz she's so crazy violent she shoot (not kill) her boyfriend in the midst of an argument??

    GIVE ME A BREAK! This girl should really just shut her trap and stop embarrassing herself. Maybe stick that ugly toe thumb in there…



  51. 51

    Re: cheesemeister – I do understand it…..for I am a PSYCH nurse…..and I would take a schizophrenic any day over a fucking borderline! They are fn ridiculous. I am slow to respond when it comes to those tards!



  52. 52

    I LOVE THIS GIRL. SHE IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND REAL. some people want to call her a slut because she is not the average girl next door and doesn't display the bitchy qualities that people seem to love these days. Despite her eccentricity I believe she is a good person at heart, and thats NOT something I can say about most of Hollywood.



  53. 53

    does it seem to anyone else like she's trivializing self-injury? cause it really seems like that to me and it's totally offensive to those who are struggling with SI now or have struggled with it in the past.



  54. 54

    are we sure this isnt just another excuse for her to be such a bitch towards the guy who made her famous?



  55. 55

    "ISSUES!"
    women with crazy ass issues are not sexy.



  56. 56

    Perez, she does not admit to cutting.
    Yes Megan, you're so deep and dark and full of alluring mystique.
    Next you'll be telling us about your period and your boogers.



  57. 57

    ya dude, this gurl is trying waay too hard to be the angie…she should work on her acting if she wants to come close tto angelina….looks wont get u far, but i guess her bitchass mouth will…



  58. 58

    LICK MY BALLS MARIO!



  59. 59

    haha. yet another celebrity who has 'come from adversity.' now really, do they think people believe this self-indulgent crap?
    "my parents were alcoholics" - "i was molested as a child" - "i lived in a car for a year" - "i was bulimic at 11" - "i was in an abusive relationship" - "my mum was a single parent with no money, blah blah" - "i was bullied at school" (yeh? probably for being a completely conceited, self-absorbed bitch).
    where are all the people that simply went to school, had a good time, decided acting was something they wanted to do and did it? airing your dirty laundry to rustle up some publicity is just so sad…



  60. 60

    Re: angedemusique

    Exactly. Thank you.



  61. 61

    She is really bothering me, it seems like everything that Angelina has ever done, she did too. Yes the woman is beautiful, but angelina is so much better she should really stop pretending to be Angelina and make her own identity.



  62. 62

    All we need next is that she used t0 be a man……
    0r she will release a sex tape…..



  63. 63

    Re: ctrlaltdelete – AGREED*!.:. how come all the celebs have the "i had a hard life" story .. lol im sure some of them made all that up not all of them had a shitty life.



  64. 64

    I think she should get off Angie's nuts! Angie use to be a cutter. Coincidence? Think not, Cookie. Stop trying to be like Angie!



  65. 65

    stop comparing her to angelina! if you go looking for it there will always be similarities, we're all human!



  66. 66

    damn. she trying to hard ayebeclear.com



  67. 67

    I almost dont believe this…where are her scars? hmmm? I have a few friends who cut and they have at least one scar you can see. and they dont go around telling people either. she is so desperate for attention, thats whats sad.



  68. 68

    Perez, I love love LOVE you but can we PLEASE stop talking about this dumb bitch! I don't care how good looking she is, she is an idiot. She is as annoying as Heidi and Spencer.



  69. 69

    Re: ctrlaltdelete – people love dirt too much, the media doesn't write about the happily after all's. if she had answered that didn't have any issues growing up, the question would simply not have been printed.

  70. trix says – reply to this


    70

    Girl has some issues, which is apparent in every interview she does. Time for a little counseling. Beauty doesn't =mental health. This is probably why she identifies so much with the late MM. …In a way… she feels guilty about being famous, beautiful,etc. She thinks you shouldn't have problems to be famous. Not true…The most famous icons in history have had issues. Embrace yourself Megan. YOU deserve it.



  71. 71

    blablabla !make her disappear!



  72. 72

    Wow, she's desperately now trying to be Angelina. It's official. Next thing she will say she has tried to commit suicide. We all know Angelina almost did. She's now reminding of the movie Single White Female.
    The thing is that Angelina was real. She was really crazy durng her young years. She wore blood around her neck, make up with her husband in front of her father, dressed like a witch to the Oscars, had a burial plot with BB Thorton, had a relationship with a female lover, and I believe she wrote something in blood on her wedding gown on her first marriage. MF has not done anything to make her think she's crazy, all she does is talk, and talk, and talk, and talk. She syas she has had a relationship with a stripper which I don't believe. No stripper has come out and said they had a relationship with her. She's been with Brian A. Green since 18, when did she have a relationship with this stripper.

    With that said, I think she's beautiful. But the things that come out of her mouth need to stop unless there will be a lot of backlash.



  73. 73

    she trying to be like marilyn monroe (the beautiful girl with the dark side.. don't you feel bad for me.. Boo Hoo Hoo) because she most likely isn't interesting! she was probably the popular girl in school who everyone loved and never had any problems… she trying to be "dark" because it is usually those celebs that are cool and remembered… such as marilyn monroe, kurt cobain, jimi hendrix and so on (except they didn't have to talk about it, they were just cool)



  74. 74

    well she doesn't look like shes suffered from an eating disorder. that she won't speal of well maybe bulimia.. she doesn't look like she is starving herself or ever looked that way thats for sure.



  75. 75

    Re: blahblah12 – Hey there glad to see you back!



  76. 76

    Jeez pervez, that's what happens when a society values physical beauty above talent and brains. How does your sister Barbara cope? She can't spell for shit, sort of like stuttering, i believe. An ex beauty queen, Sarah Palin (she didn't win) developed chronic lying syndrome that has even affected the whole state of Alaska!$$$$$yikes!!!



  77. 77

    Dumb bitch just basically admitted to it.



  78. 78

    i cant really take this girl seriously anymore.. umm… try to be authentic honey.. everyone knows that Angelina had issues with that in the past, — which i doubt (as even her own mother says she is a liar to get attention)
    she is pretentious always trying to do the Angelina finger in the mouth pose and others.. its getting ridiculous.. she could never ever compare to Angelina! - she has no depth- she will always be the poor-mans Angelina.



  79. 79

    Does anyone else think she might be obsessed with Angelina too? She's Octomom light. Creepy blow up doll.



  80. 80

    If it was a real, serious problem she wouldn't broadcast it to the world. There's no doubt that she has some issues but it seems strange that she would just want to tell a national magazine about them.



  81. 81

    UFFFFF….she should be banned from the media…she's so annoying and stupid.
    She says she doesn't want to be compared to Angelina Jolie..but she's copping everything from her…every single thing… even the cutting part..Probably at her house the walls are covered with Angelina's posters and like crazy psycho is staring at her all the time and coping her moves and God knows what…She's so FN stupid and fake….get the FK way..Bitch….u r disgusting, Megan Fox!!!



  82. 82

    Re: Anti_Emo! – …I agree with u…she's sooooo obsessed with Angelina!!!….Megan leave Angy alone!!!



  83. 83

    Re: redmond – so true!

    she is sickening!



  84. 84

    Re: snyper – mary kate olsen is a cutter too…thats why she always wears long sleeves. most girls cut on their upper legs, easy to hide.



  85. 85

    Re: ViewFromHere – sooooo true!! well said!!!



  86. 86

    Old news!!



  87. 87

    Cutters are just people with a personality disorder who have the emotional development of a 4 year old. Cutting is the grown-up equivalent of a tantrum. Look up borderline personality disorder. Grow up, Megan Fox.



  88. 88

    hmm i should be famous too. like megan, i used to cut myself, have kissed other girls, and i do have a mental disorder [depression.] now where is my attention at? she needs to go away. i don't find her as attractive as i once did.



  89. 89

    so what? God she just needs to keep her mouth shut and look pretty.

    Everybody has tried cutting themselves at least once it's not some huge crisis.
    I'm really starting to hate her



  90. 90

    The words "I used to cut myself, I was in rehab, I used to binge/purge/starve or do this and that" are only words. Know what? So did many of us. It's okay to admit it but if you REALLY want to be a "role model" why not get into the community and make it work for a better cause by speaking with those who are most vunerable. Rather than using it for publicity about what you conquered, DO something to help others conquer these demons. A young woman with her abilities, looks and fan base could make an impact if she put her eggs in the right basket. Just a thought!



  91. 91

    hahaha shes a dumb bitch! i love angelina, but megan is just a cheap imitation. It;s annoying how hard she's trying to be like her. Remember when Angie said she was into knives with her boyfriend in the bedroom? Next Megan will be trying to make out with a family member…



  92. 92

    wow, this chick has some serious issues.



  93. 93

    how obnoxious.



  94. 94

    Re: questionmark
    thankyou for your enlightening response.

    they were rhetorical questions.

    i completely understand the media's role in this, but my point was - for the percentage of people who are celebrities, an awful lot of them have come from misery and misfortune.

    such boring, boring, egoistical people.



  95. 95

    i don't need to know this perez
    i may have a proven eating disorder it sounds like megan fox has a fake eating diso der i 'm not a megan fan i just watched marie anioentte with kristin dunst
    a month ago the queen of france when i told cosmo about my dream that included shia la beouf last month on cosmo . com



  96. 96

    Uhh; not all [girls] go through,
    stages like that.

    So please,
    Megan be a little bit more
    specific, you went through
    stages like that.

    Not all girl's are that
    dumb, & want to
    hurt themselves.

    Some girl's have
    self-respect.



  97. 97

    She's right, calm collected people often cut themselves (when they instead of lashing out or talking about their problems) just want to find some other sort of release…



  98. 98

    I don't know anybody that hasn't cut themselves or starved themselves as a teen. Its hard for everyone being a teenager. But Megan Fox still hasn't grown up! She's still immature, seriously shut the fuck up already. Everyones saying she's a dumbass so now shes tryin 2 make it seem the way she is cause she cut herself? Fuck who hasn't!? Admit you have issues STILL and go seek some help, thats the best thing you can do for you and your career.



  99. 99

    After reading what a bitch this chick is from the Transformers crew i could care less. Go ahead and finish the job —-now she is saying she threatens to kill her boyfriend !! What a friggin' LOSER!!



  100. 100

    She's so tired. meh
