she's totally hot, but has done nothing to deserve my admiration. when she acts in something worthwhile, i'll get back to her.

I agree to an extent that girls can get catty and we have trouble dealing with our insecurities.. but on the other hand maybe you really are just stupid, a wh*re, or a dumb wh*re? I swear to god, Megan Fox. And this is not my cattyness or jealousy speaking, as I'm hardly catty and when I'm jealous of someone I'm not afraid to admit it, but when is she going to step back and take a look at the way she's portrayed herself and see maybe she's just not coming across as a very nice girl? I used to to think she made some good eye candy *at best* but she's slowly becoming more unattractive to me.

Now, hot women I can barely stand because of how hot they are, Jessica Alba. But, she seems like a nice girl. As far as celebrities go that's good enough for me. Megan Fox is just downright dislikable unless you have a penis. What a load of crap. "People love me because I'm hot and people hate me because I'm hot."

/rant

I don't like her because she seems like a real witch.

She was very, very unlikable in Jennifer's Body. The crew of Transformers 2 wrote a public letter that totally excoriated her for being a b on wheels.

I don't really like or dislike her. But, I think for women to like a starlet, there has to be an element of being relatable. She totally lacks this.

I know that jealousy and competitiveness can be an aspect of hating on another girl, but there are plenty of attractive women out there that I respect and adore, so I have to conclude that attitude is a huge part of being likable.

I love Megan! She's probably a total b*tch, but at least she is a breath of fresh air compared to the brain-dead blond celebrities out there...

I've only experienced that with people who are just insecure. Freshman year college this one girl constantly called me a moron and insinuated I was a wh*re despite the fact that I had higher grades in more advanced classes and higher SAT scores than her and never hooked up with anyone I wasn't dating.

This chick needs to shut up and read a book.

I love how she constantly invents new ways to talk about how much she's in love with herself

What she said though reminds me of an Ani Difranco song:

And God help you if you are an ugly girl
Course too pretty is also your doom
Because everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And God help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past

- the comments are really good at Jezebel!

deadline.com/hollywood/transformers-crew-talk-back-to-megan-fox/

i have no idea what she's like and i have no negative feelings towards her, basically just indifference. But i kinda agree with her comment, that being said, she is stunning!

I don't think it's about "how boyfriends/husbands" react to Megan Fox. That sounds sooo . . . Desperate Housewives and plays into this idea that all women are petty, catty, b*tches who are single-minded and determined to hang on to their men. I certainly don't have friends like that. I think it's much deeper. I think when the dominant culture tells women that unless they look like Megan Fox they're not valued and someone that looks like Megan Fox comes a long and says those same women are b*tchy and haters because they're just jealous . . . well, it's a one-two punch that's hard not to get pissed at.

Megan Fox is benefiting from a system that objectifies women. She shot to fame allowing Michael Bay's camera to zoom up her skirt.

I wish someone like Fox would say, "I get it. I became famous playing into a system that celebrates the fact that men find me sexually desirable and doesn't value women beyond that criteria

The best example I can think of is when she hosted SNL. No matter what skit they were doing, she was always being Megan Fox. She never dropped that character. She seemed uncomfortable and out of place through the whole show, as if she couldn't permit herself to relax and be vulnerable. Because she, as a persona and an archetype, is something very limited and controlled that is only acceptable, and only makes sense, in a very specific context (magazines and underdeveloped hot chick roles). She is pure, unthreatening, accomodating sexuality; not a human being who happens to be sexy, but the embodiment of sexuality itself. Her ability to control and limit herself is the reason for her success, and she knows it.

This feels like a complex version of the pat on the back my mom used to give me when i came home from school saying that I'd been picked on.

"they're just jealous, honey."

As someone who finds Megan Fox to be someone whom I will never meet and whose public image means nothing to my personal life, the idea that people have heated emotions about her in either direction is mind numbing.

Sure, if you're a fan, be a fan. I am not a fan of Kathy Griffin, so I simply don't pay any attention to her. In the end, attention, negative or positive, is fueling her public appearance and keeping her career at a boom, regardless of her obvious lack of real, raw talent as an actress.

Maybe I've missed something, but I'm pretty sure we still have free will. Be a conscientious objector instead of a hate monger. I'm really not sure why this became an issue

Women can be mean and awful to each other, and I suspect Megan Fox got Mean Girled HARD when she was in high school (her Wiki entry mentions she was bullied, was a late bloomer, and she left early) and never quite bounced back -- I don't think she's had the chance, going from cutthroat high school straight to false, superficial Hollywood. That and I think she's now slightly afraid of women, based on that experience, and so hasn't had the chance to alter her thinking with good female friendships.

I also kind of wonder if adult female reaction to her has something of the false FOX "fair and balanced" dichotomy, where you level the field by acknowledging a positive but then also present a negative. "Megan Fox is gorgeous, but I hear she's a nightmare to work with" or "She's stunning, but stupid" or the backhanded "she looks like a pornstar" comment.

When it comes down to it, though, pretty girls sometimes have it rough -- and often, it's so subtle that it can be overlooked by others. The sisterhood does eat its own sometim

Roaring, I love that song.

This is just like that comment Jessica Alba made awhile back about "life being hard for pretty people...." something or other. Why is it that these women think they'll win sympathy from female fans by whining? Come on! These ARE NOT real issues. Try saying something like that to a paraplegic or someone else with a disability. Megan needs to shut up and do something real with her life. We don't hate you because you're beautiful, we hate you because you're ignorant and arrogant.

I just hate her because she's beautiful.

I don't like Megan Fox because I think that if I met her at a party she wouldn't like me.
If I met Kate Winslet at a party, she would think I was smart and interesting and we would talk about our kids. If I met Drew Barrymore at a party I think she would think I was fun and it wouldn't take any convincing to get her to drunk karaoke. And if I met Jennifer Aniston at a party I think that she would be entertained by my stories, oh, and maybe we have read some of the same books.
I feel like if I met Megan Fox at a party she would ask me what I do, not really listen to me, and be looking over my shoulder while I was talking to see who was better to talk to

Random "Interesting" Actress Facts (from the top of my head):
- Natalie Portman is a vegetarian, has a degree from Harvard and speaks fluent Hebrew.
- Julia Stiles has a degree in English Literature.
- Mira Sorvino is fluent in Mandarin.
- Angelina Jolie is tirelessly devoted to the UNHCR.
- Eva Longoria has a kinesiology degree and was accepted into a kinesiology Masters program. She did L'oreal commercials in English, French and Spanish without using voiceovers.
- Megan Fox is really, really pretty.

I mean, seriously! If Megan Fox has done cool things, she's certainly not putting that information out there. How can she honestly expect women to be interested in her? How can she expect ANYONE to be interested in her? Attracted to her, sure. Her looks are on full display. But her personality? Her intelligence? I can't read her mind- if she wants women to take her seriously and like her, she needs to give them a reason to do so.

Also, and I speak only for myself here, her claim, "Women hate me because I'm pretty," really irks me because she wasn't born that way. Not that she was ugly before the boob and nose jobs, but she looked like a completely different person before, and one much less sexualized and designed for the male gaze.

So when she whines about women hating her for her looks - she made herself look that way. On purpose. And she brings her looks up alll the damn time. It's hard for me to feel any sympathy for her on that count. I don't hate her because she's pretty, I dislike her because her looks are her answer to everything.

jezebel.com/5402530/megan-foxs-minders-are-worried-women-dont-like-her?skyline=true&s=i#comments

Am I the only one who reads her quotes about women and, rather than thinking she's some sort of misogynist b*tch snot, thinks instead "I don't know when or how, but that child got Mean Girl'd in a mortally scarring way"? #meganfoxhate

Women I love/am attracted to:

1) Maggie Gyllenhaal
2) Christina Hendricks
3) Angelina Jolie
4) Natalie Portman

All of them beautiful beyond words, and wildly successful.

New theory, please, Ms. Fox?

I don't dislike her, but I admit to being a bit jealous of her because my boyfriend openly admitted to me that he thinks she's much hotter than I am (which is true), but hearing him say that was pretty hurtful.

i don't like her cuz she's annoying. i don't care what she looks like.

She looks beautiful here.

Truthfully, I think SOME women are as she described, not all.

Yeah, that....

Or maybe I just don't think youre attractive and your conceited attitude confirms that?
-candace87

She has pretty eyes and her eyebrows are great but I don't know about her skin (looks like it could be blotchy, ruddy or rosacea or something) and I keep hearing she was altered cosmetically so I'm just 'meh' about her looks...women can be jealous but I don't that that is the case here. She has been packaged and marketed towards men and hasn't proven herself as an actress.

There are lots of pretty actresses, maybe not uber smart or anything but they still try to stretch creatively and their not hell bent on being the next Angelina Jolie or Marilyn Monroe (and when they are we don't like them either). Also you don't have to try so hard to be outrageous, she should be thoughtful instead because whenever she is trying to pose as self confident and/or aggressive she just comes across as sexist. And sexism is even worse coming from another women if you can believe. I think that may be her main problem.

Do ppl ever read the comments written before them?

I read her responses to interviews and what I can say it that: SHE'S HOT AND SHE THINKS SHE'S SO SMART. And way too overconfident. I don't mind girls like that if they have something to show but the kind of roles she plays and the kind of exposure she submits herself to doesn't fit her ideal. SERIOUSLY!

I think that Megan Fox is in a "perpetually high school" state of mind. The way she speaks about women and their behavior is just ridiculous. She is trying to make it seem as if all women hate anyone who is pretty -- which is not the case. It's one thing to envy and another thing to hate. Some people may very well hate her based on her looks, I would like to think that anyone that is above the high school years would flirt with the idea that looks can only get you so far, and therefore pursue other endeavors, like teaching or marketing. Megan seems catty, immature, and unrealistic. She claims people hate her because of this so-called beauty that not everyone sees, including myself. It takes good traits and being personable to attract people to you in a good way. She makes herself totally unlikeable by being a stuck up b*tch, and raving on about how her life is such and such because she is pretty. Does she have anything else to say about herself? For someone so smart she certainly seems to lack some common sense.

Sure people may hate you because you are are pretty. Sure some women you deal with now go for the jugular. But life is not high school, and in reality, the adults I know seem to function very well socially, aren't completely tactless and superficial. If you get your head out of your ass and you start to be a likeable person (which is possible without being fake), then people will not be hating you as much.

I left the keyboard, continued typing and pressed enter. Right now I realized I was unclear in some of what I said. I was trying to say was that girls often know that looks don't get you very far, so they developed other traits and skills that they can use in the real world. It doesn't look as if Megan Fox is the kind of person who tried to do anything more with herself than be "hot".

I think it's wrong for her to apply this generalization to women in general, but there is some truth to what she's saying. It's especially noticeable in the legal community.

Um, anon 18. What a great idea to get Drew Berrymore drunk at a party...she's an alcoholic...

Anyway, I'm jealous of Megan Fox cause she's drop dead gorgeous and has a killer body! I'm thankful I'm not her because she can't act for the life of her and will be never heard of again in 3 years...

Megan Fox is definitely pretty, but I don't think it's fair to say that women hate her because of this. MANY women in Hollywood are very pretty and have tons of female fans. I think the problem with Megan Fox is, that's really all she seems to be: just prettiness and sex. So yeah, girls aren't really going to get to excited about that because, well, there isn't much to relate to. It's like getting angry that women aren't fans of Jenna Jameson.

In addition, she seems sooo fake and focused on her looks. I have never ever seen a picture of her without a face full of makeup. Even in pictures that claim she isn't wearing makeup, it's completely obvious (at least to me and a few friends) that she is wearing a lot of it: mascara, eyeliner, blush, lip gloss, etc. I also find this hard to relate to because I tend not to wear so much makeup. So yeah, guys may think she's hot, but I don't think she's very real.

IMO: Amanda Peet is my favorite pretty girl

Oh yeah, I also wanted to mention that Anon brought up a good point. She's had a nose and boob job at least so... it's kind of silly for her to complain about how girls hate her prettiness. She purposely amped up her looks.

I don't hate her at all. She is fun to look at. I'm sure my bf thinks so too.

juicebox07:
Of course every airbrushed celebrity with a make-up artist (and/or good plastic surgeon) is going to look gorgeous, and obviously your boyfriend is going to find other women attractive, but if my boyfriend ever made that kind of comment to me ('uh, I'd rate you a 5/10, whereas Megan Fox is off the scale')... I'd dump his sorry ass. No doubt you were hurt by that.

It doesn't bother me at all when Spacekatdude does this. I know he looks at other women. I don't expect him to have given up his sexuality just because he's married to me. He's always tasteful about it.

Keyword: tasteful. Of course, if juicebox had inquired about her hotness, that's another story.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the fact that she says conceited and batsh*t crazy things and basically whines that her hotness is a burden. Shut. Up.

I like Megan Fox. But this act of being the victim is slightly off putting. Yes, some people will like you and others won't. Just deal with it. Saying women hate me because I'm beautiful is NOT going to win them over. The key is to be relatable if you want women to like you. Yes she is a stunning woman, but if she could find a way for other women to relate to her she would be more well liked IMHO.

The only intelligence I can attribute to her is her great self marketing skills. Her agency really knows how to promote her to men. It seems so planned for her to go out and say things like this and other comments about how she just loves beer and football, thus making her the perfect boy toy. Good for her, it seems like the quick way to money... also the quick way out of Hollywood when her 5 mins are over!

I think this statement is somehow true. Its like if your hot, you have to go the extra damn mile to make women like you, because truth be told they *are* jealous, and *do* try to take you down a notch and distance themselves from you for whatever made up reason. Ive noticed this in my own life, as I am an attractive woman and very striking (tall and broad shouldered with long blond hair), and ive been on the receiving end of this jealousy and it sucks. Sometimes I wish i could pull out the "ugly card" that gets endearance from so many ordinary people, but I do have to work extra hard at seeming approchable and nice whereas other people seem automatically relatable because they are a zero threat.

FamouFox, I feel your pain. I have the same problem, and it is sometimes really difficult to seem approachable. Its just something we have to deal with and accept.

Megan Fox is the sexiest woman alive, seriously.
Go ahead and find a pic of a hotter woman

sure, i can see where some may be jealous and say negative things about her. but somehow she manages to come off as trite, juvenile, and unintelligent in nearly every interview i've read about her. i grow more weary of her as time goes on. maybe it's the media to blame but goodness, someone please find her a new PR agent.

Actually, sometimes I find myself liking Megan Fox a little more because of all the stupid things she says. She knows those ridiculous quotes will create thousands of threads like this all over the Internet, generating more publicity for her. At least she knows good PR...

Anyway, about this particular quote... I do think women hate her a little unfairly sometimes; not because of her looks, and not just because she comes off as conceited and ignorant, but because of all the attention she gets without merit. Women can understand why Charlize Theron or Angeline Jolie are worshiped, they're talented and smart on top of being ridiculously gorgeous. But Megan is just a hot girl who got lucky in Hollywood. It can be a little revolting to a lot of women...

Juicebox07: you have every right to be hurt, your boyfriend was real jerk! Even if you asked about your hotness vs. Megan's, there are sensible ways of saying that she is more attractive (after all she is a celebrity). Any decent guy would say so in a way that would make feel good anyway.

no dear, i'm just not that into you.

FamousFox, I also have a hard time seeming relatable or approachable, but not because I'm a knockout beauty, but because I really am that way and take full responsibility for it.
So while I don't mean to diminish or question the fact that you're gorgeous, maybe the distance you feel from women stems more from your (real or just perceived) coldness.
I know one of my best friends is utterly beautiful, really pretty (also blonde, slim and blue-eyed), but everyone (including girls/women) likes her because she always comes across as sweet and nice to be around or talk to.
