Actress says media has turned her into a cartoon

Just recently, Megan Fox was saying that, while she might evoke a different image to her fans, she was actually very “maternal.” In the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the “Transformers” beauty takes one step further towards demolishing the image she had in the media so far by going into specifics about her love life, as OK! Magazine can confirm.

Not only has Fox allowed the media to turn her into this type of cartoon that she does not approve of, but she actively encouraged it to do so with the interviews she gave in the past, she says. Unfortunately, this has projected an image of her that is far from reality, that of a femme fatale who wouldn’t think twice about using her womanly charms (and go all the way) to get what she wants, whatever that might be.

“I’ve only been with two men my entire life. My childhood sweetheart and Brian [Austin Green],” the actress says, thus rubbishing reports of promiscuity for good. She then goes on to say that she couldn’t even imagine making love to someone with whom she was not connected emotionally, let alone have a one-night stand. This is just the type of girl she is – and, for various reasons, the media has serious problems believing her.

As if to prove her point, Fox goes on to say that she takes her role as a step mother very seriously, which is yet another side of her to which the general public is completely oblivious. “I am a stepmother to the fullest extent. I have looked after Kassius [Brian Austin Green’s son] since he was three and he has no memory of life without me. For some reason, no-one wants to look at me that way, but I am responsible [for him] and I’ve never struggled with that, from bedtime stories to the school run,” the gorgeous actress explains.

In the same interview, she also says she wishes she hadn’t allowed the media to make a “cartoon” out of her, though she does not regret where she is or the exposure she’s getting. In order to change people’s perception about her, Megan Fox has decided to take herself more seriously in the first place – because that’s the only way others will do the same too.
