Coming back to the throwback interview where Megan Fox opened up about why she didn’t come forward with her #MeToo stories. Once in conversation with The New York Times, Megan said, “I was ahead of my time and so people weren’t able to understand. Instead, I was rejected because of qualities that are now being praised in other women coming forward.” When asked why she never spoke up about the incidents, she shared, “I just didn’t think based on how I’d been received by people, and by feminists, that I would be a sympathetic victim,” because of how she was mistreated before and how she was under the scrutiny all the time.
