As someone who has been behind the scenes in movies, I GUARENTEE that letter was 100% Michael Bay. NO LOW LEVEL CREW MEMBER WOULD SAY THAT SHIT EVER!!!! They would NEVER get hired by anyone else ever again cause an actor would say "no I don't want people lying on me" and their manager would zip them out of their faster than the director could fire the crew member! And his later statements cement that for me. He has a god complex, he hated her for not worshiping him and made her pay for it. And he reveled in it.

I hate how we are taught to hate women just for existing and not being perfect. When I was little it was so easy and popular to hate women like Taylor Swift, Kristen Stewart, and Megan fox and that sad thing is I had no idea why I didn't like them, I just saw all the hate they got in the media and thought it was correct. It was all so clearly sexism and I can't believe I didn't know it.

I do like Jennifer's Body but as an Asian woman re-watching it in recent years, I don't like the movie using some racist jokes regarding Thai food smelling and Chinese nail technicians.... and how they treat the exchange student. And Diablo Cody talking about how the Thai food joke is one of her fave jokes in one of the interviews in recent years.... not a good look.

It’s so funny you’re posting this now - I just read an absurdly condescending article in a mainstream Canadian news publication that basically was a thinly veiled excuse for a 40+ year old man to complain about Megan Fox and her boyfriend being publicly affectionate on social media. As our culture continues to evolve and we revisit these unfairly maligned female figures like Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and even Stephenie Meyer - we NEED to have a conversation about the way we have, and clearly are STILL treating Megan Fox.

Unfortunately this is how the industry treats young women. I do remember seeing interviews with Megan Fox saying that, she doesn't like when women are pitied against each other. And as for me looking back on my thoughts on Megan Fox i just thought she was pretty and not a great actress. But now looking back on my thoughts, i was an idiot and didn't understand how the industry treated young women. I hope Megan Fox makes a comeback and people think more critically about the industry.

The main point is that Media wanted her to be the sex symbol of the decade similarly to Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie. They wanted her to be like those ladies because she is similarly to them uniquely beautiful. Comparing fairly unexperienced Fox to such movie icons is quite detrimental for her. People definitely wanted more from her and viewed her as an actress for male gaze when she didn't deliver it outstandingly she was rejected. Hollywood didn't turn that narrative to show that she is a person who plays a character but unfortunately she was mostly sexualized in movies especially directed by Michael Bay (he still didn't learn his lesson he doesn't treat female characters as people but sexy love interest with no personality whatsoever). It's Hollywood that failed Megan Fox and put great expectations on her. I think that people at that time weren't prepared for such a movie hence now that we get more of them Jennifer's Body was discovered. Movies made by women with actresses like for example Birds of Prey and the fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn can be made because there is an audience who watches them.

what’s wild is when Jennifer’s Body was released I WAS the target audience in age gender preferences ect, but I had no idea because of the marketing and it was videos like this that made me realise it was worth watching. It’s a modern cult classic but the problem with that niche appeal is the attention often comes too late and I feel genuinely mad that for years the only projection of Megan Fox I saw was the version marketing and transformers wanted people to see.
