I didn’t really even understand how to listen to my instincts and act from that place.”

You’re going to feel this one,’ and I just felt entitled to [cheating] as well. … I was paying all the bills, I was working my ass off, and I felt like that’s what comes, the spoils of riches. Like my dad before me, whoever has the most gets to do whatever the hell they want, is what I thought.”

And there’s gonna be relationships on this show, and you’re gonna need to play that part,’ and I didn’t feel really ready for that because I was always a really late bloomer in school, and I hadn’t really dated.”

We’re good friends now, which is awesome. We work really well together now.”

It’s almost like your taste buds change,” she said of their “public” and “painful” split. “You have a taste bud for a certain kind of thing, and then the taste buds just go.”

During an episode of Call Her Daddy, Megan Fox opened up about her relationship with Brian Austin Green. When they got together, Megan was 18, and Brian was 31. “First of all, let me just say I was not a great girlfriend to Brian. I’ll be very honest. He was not great to me either all the time, but I think it would be easy for me to lean into or let it seem like that relationship was one way,” she said. “I was not great because I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and that magnitude. I shouldn’t have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 — I shouldn’t have been.”
