"I just left a premiere for something where I had to go-I'm obligated to go -I remember the paparazzi were so ruthless back then-the way they would talk to women, And I walked out just to try to get to my car, and they're all shooting. And one guy's like, 'Megan, why are you such a bitch?' And another guy is like, 'Megan, do you think you're overrated? The internet says so,' and I'm just trying to do my job."
"I was asked to be at this premiere. I'm trying to get to my car. And so I had all of this grief and sorrow and also anger and rage that needed a place to go."
"I think [comedy is] her secret weapon is, she's really, really funny, and obviously, what's behind that kind of humor is deep intelligence, and so she had both of those things but was clearly dismissed, attacked, mistrusted somehow for not just staying in her place,"
Megan Fox attended a special screening and Q&A for Jennifer's Body in Los Angeles and described how the role changed her life for the better. She experienced overnight fame and intense objectification after Transformers, which made public appearances and work obligations emotionally fraught. Fox recalled ruthless paparazzi behavior and verbal attacks while trying to get to her car, which left her with grief, sorrow, anger, and rage. Director Karyn Kusama praised Fox's comedic intelligence and suggested the role allowed Fox to express parts of herself that had been dismissed and mistrusted by the press.
