[@maddievic2]

The art of becoming an accessory is SUCH a powerful title for a poem

[@annjohnson8437]

Yes! Geez ... the small part Drew read was incredible. ❤

[@MsDee409]

I agree!! That was extremely powerful, punched me right in the gut!!

[@Lex-tl4vm]

I mean, is it really? Eh..

[@vanessaguerra7136]

I am shaken for all the right reasons… this is a new atmosphere of emotional intelligence that needs to happen for all ❤

[@Pippi-rippi]

Write it! ❤

[@hannahlee3189]

i freaking love how megan said that rejecting her kids' dad would be rejecting a piece of their father. i freaking love that. it's so hard to have your parents be at war, so to see people valuing peace with their other parent so their kids can live in peace is so inspiring

[@PureSparkles22]

She needs to write a memoir

[@jessikavalencia6329]

She does!

[@Ghost-un6oe]

Megan is not just a pretty face so to speak, she's intelligent, insightful, articulate.

[@kab9706]

Yep, it's always been clear to me that she's really intelligent. I actually think that makes it HARDER to have the career she's had. "Ignorance is bliss". People wanted her to just be beautiful and have no opinions.

[@cryspbacon]

well she’s not a pretty face anymore but my God she is intelligent as hell.

[@AnokiLonin]

Exactly like Marilyn Monroe❤

[@haute03]

I've been a fan of Megan for years and its been low-key painful to witness her image constantly overshadow her intelligence and talent in the public eye. I'm really glad her writing is getting the recognition it deserves. Go Megan!

[@aninhapmr]

I feel the same! It's weird how she's only been as a body and a face to so many ppl. But I get the feeling women understand her better, I dunno. I think she's SO smart about everything in her Hollywood life : her image, her career. I love her interviews, she's real and I wish I could tell her that one day. I'm a 40yo woman that admires her work because she's smart and btfl in and out.

[@annalucia8843]

She's always been super cool and super smart and hopefully people have the emotional intelligence to see that more now.

[@aninhapmr]

@@annalucia8843 hopefully

[@qwerttzizzi]

Its her own fault..she wanted that image with MGK..all the vampire blood sucking thing..no wonder everyone only sees the image

[@kab9706]

Same. I'm SO proud of her. I feel like she's been treated like a villian, and I find that so odd. It's not a crime to be beautiful, and she was a good actress. I love that she's created her own art now.

[@Sushe-x1o]

Megan’s aura is always so inspirational !!!

[@neondreams4016]

I saw her in Vegas at the wynne and her aura is so pretty. She glows and smiles a lot.

[@aeonreflux6459]

I got choked up at multiple points during this because what Megan is speaking about is exactly what I wish I got out of my childhood but didn’t. It takes tremendous wisdom and class to do what she has done.

[@sayuriki88]

This is a beautiful and insightful interview. As a parentified child I totally relate with "carrying the burden of war between parents", it made me almost cry to hear that. It's also very difficult to be the one who finally sees that pattern and makes an effort to not pass it to another generation.

[@saijanaswamy7210]

As an also patentified child, I see you and i agree with you.

[@lisaduffy5853]

I really wasn't expecting such a powerful & emotional poem. I hope this lady is ok & found happiness ❤

[@thungchakikon811]

Drew is evergreen. Still the sweetest.

[@iamrhythm]

Wow, that poem is soooooo good crazy how so many of us could relate. This took me back to a terrible relationship I got into when I was 19 exactly how it felt

[@madeline_dg]

I have full body chills from that poem...my lord...need to get this book immediately

[@kbrown6635]

That poem was 🔥

[@LorenaJackman]

She is so amazing and using her voice to be truthful and show the realities that happen in very dysfunctional relationships

[@aliciaprucknic4150]

I could listen to Megan speak all day

[@chunsatoki88]

Notice how Megan's body stiffens during the read and her eyes remembering the dark past. Body remembers the trauma.

[@berry6467]

No she’s just nervous about it being read

[@elvieraworld]

Above reading a poem, I think hearing one is my favorite way to enjoy it. The last four lines, WOW. Immediately purchased.

[@AnnaLizzyRose]

That's beautiful. I have seen the damage upon kids when parents have rubbished the other parent in front of their children.

[@neondreams4016]

I saw Megan fox in person in Vegas. Her aura is so pretty. She glows.

[@jenniferd7221]

The way drew read this is too good

[@madgemackles4337]

I found out a long time ago that Megan was more than just a pretty face and she’s actually a pretty good actress if given the right role and script

[@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz]

Yup exactly! People just love to judge and I've even heard someone call her "a bimbo" before but she is waaay more than that! She's an intellectual. She's really deep and insightful!

[@M-ye2jn]

@@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz lol name one time she's been intellectual

[@lilinectar29]

​@@M-ye2jn🙄ahem, this interview for example?

[@M-ye2jn]

@@lilinectar29 what part of the interview exactly please do tell🤔👂

[@jgunner94]

@@M-ye2jnHer words on treating her kids father in the right way in front of them just gives an insight to the emotional intelligence she has. She’s usually thought provoking in her interviews and brings an interesting perspective I get on board with.

[@ArchiesLens]

Weeew Drew needs to be the voice for that audiobook! Chills✨

[@jrojala]

Megan preferring someone else to read her poem out loud is so relatable. I always hated having to recite my poetry for friends, especially in intimate.

[@AoibheannDoyle-SoulTherapist]

Poetry! Yes! We need poetry in this world ❤

[@AvisWrentmore]

Brilliant Poetry - I'm floored..... Great Talent Megan, you're AMAZING.....

[@katiedenton9522]

She is SO smart and insightful, logical, and reasonable. Love her.

[@Pindolene]

Wow that poetry sounds fantastic so far!

[@jordanbronner3752]

Drew is so kind she’s such a wonderful women and her style is unique

[@sarahscott9601]

Tearing down is one thing, but telling the truth at the best time possible is another

[@raenpadron3207]

She needs to play Poison Ivy. She needs to.

[@deenadiiorio]

Megan is so incredibly insightful. I’m always astonished by her thoughts.

[@crystalsioux]

I am.... in and out fan of hers... and with this moment with Drew, made me feel.. sad for her.. I hope she finds peace with her book.

[@JaredeFeliciano]

SO HAPPY FOR MEGAN, BEING A FAN FOR SO LONG AND NOW SEEING HER EXPRESS HER WORDS AND TALKING OPENLY AND SO HIGH HEADED IT GIVES ME HOPE

[@biggmonie]

That's deep AF...Unexpected. ❤

[@JM-ip8mp]

wow, there's so much to unpack about how we perceive beauty and sexuality as dumb and write people off. this woman is so incredibly intelligent and soulful.

[@jenniferwebb677]

Doesn't look like Megan, but maybe that's the point. She moving on with her life and seeing what fits for her. Wish her well with her journey 🙏❤❤❤

[@suzannahspangler]

I adore these two together! Would love to see them on another together! Megan is so beautiful & elegant. Megan in her healing era is the best version of her ❤ love this for her! Drew is such a light in itself & always so comforting and says the right things. Best host!

[@hansdampfi.a.g.7757]

Megan is full of her own unic thought. Real smart.. poetic thinker but is still sensitive and compassionate towards those around her I think and with deep trust in the nature. Very interesting lady

[@moniquators8364]

I felt this so much. I have even said to my therapist that I often felt like an accessory to men. I was like their belt or hat.

[@venessa_90mass]

I love how both of these wonderful ladies can coparent with their exes and never talk down about them. I love what Megan said on how if she rejects her kids father, it's like she's rejecting her kids since he is part of them, he helped make them.

[@chelseapeil9504]

Wow I love both of their points on parenting so insightful

[@criminalperpetrators]

That poem was brilliant 👏 👌 😀 ❤

[@mattd501]

That just expressed EVERYTHING…🙌❤️‍🔥

[@ct6852]

Megan makes for a great interview. I didn't really know that beforehand. But she's really interesting to listen to. And she's gorgeous to look at, obviously.

[@SimplyKatieWalks]

I love Megan Fox!!!

[@DynastyLee-k9o]

Me too

[@kittenmixer812]

This was a short clip but somehow soo incredibly profound. Wow.

[@danielnascimento6300]

Wow she’s talented

[@MusicaAylin]

I need her book ❤

[@lovefitstudio]

Damn, girl! She's got bars. ❤

This is so powerful 🥲 and just yes the co parenting part is so beautiful said by Megan!! ❤️‍🔥🙏🏾 I don't even have human kids & I agree with this so much !! (I'm a cat mom)

I ❤ the dog, so calming

[@Repo342TrueBlood1]

I love megan for everything ❤️

[@YaraMay20]

Megan Fox is such a smart woman. She really has a beautiful way with words. I always thought she was very aware as well. Of course she would write an amazing book of poems. She can do anything.

[@kimberlyfinch6055]

I never completely lied tò my children about their dads short commings I just made it PG 13 until they became Adults and told them the truth that he was a CHEATER 😊

[@amtea100]

Now i am the biggest fan of Megan... ❤️. Never saw her in this light before. ❤️

[@sparrowwilson4514]

I genuinely love this woman. Megan is so smart and cool (and a little nuts). She doesn’t get the credit she deserves.

[@MsReblynn]

I love these two lovely ladies OMG ❤

[@KJ-zt9ik]

Her poem is the exact relationship I'm in now 😭 I wish she had one for how to escape.

[@mikaylahmag1428]

OMG! This book is the voice of many of US! The brain of Megan Fox is amazing! She's a beautiful! 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@Cheng-jq6fc]

the personal struggles M.F went through in life 😢😢 it's time for her to write a Memoir..

[@CatharticCreation]

this clip was surprisingly deep

[@BrynGarrett]

We all know that Megan Fox is absolutely gorgeous, but few know just how highly intelligent she is. That’s what makes her even more enticing and beautiful inside and out! I’m sooo incredibly happy for her and can’t wait to get, and read, this book!

[@radamezpatlagioaia5012]

I love megan foxx❤❤❤ 🤗❤️

[@Samantha-nn4ts]

Omg I enjoyed watching this. I love megan. She’s so sweet. And drew is so supportive 💜 Tho I dislike her taste in men😂 Megan is absolutely amazing ❤️‍🔥

[@seanshann960]

Drew looks really good still and is much older. Megan Fox is still banging for sure ❤ but I find that I was the one who put my poetry out there before social media took tabs of what you did. However it’s beautiful to see what you love being talked about… what I’ve been putting out there. Seems to be part of a lot of social topics 😅🎉🎊

[@mariajoserodriguez-mw1ii]

Very Beautiful what Megan said 👏

[@marisaveeb]

Megan is so smart ❤

[@terryexpose]

I love Megan's energy 🖤

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Wow. That poem.

[@SM-ce1uy]

Megan's outfit is on point

[@megancunningham9471]

I deeply wish that I could have the post-divorce coparenting situation that they describe here. I wanted it so badly for so many years for my beautiful and amazing kids. It's been very painful to accept that this will never be their reality, and they're caught in the crossfire, no matter how much I try to shield them from it. I am so envious that these ladies can have these evolved and respectful relationships with their kids' fathers. But also, side note: Megan Fox has said repeatedly that her relationship with MGK is very mercurial and explosive. It doesn't exactly sound like she has the best track record for mature and respectful relationships, so it does make me take what she says with a grain of salt.

[@katiedenton9522]

I love Megan, always have. I listened to the audiobook of her book, and I felt like every single poem was coming from MY brain. How many times have we been manipulated and controlled by our significant other? 💋

[@stacyfabiszewski4633]

Love Drew !

That poem was amazing 😭😭🩷

@@carrisagrace1 I can’t please everyone 😘😘

so what part of this book is about MGK? just curious.

[@NenaCastillo28]

there's a poem called to marry an arsonist she has said is about Colson.

[@jaimescorner3.051]

Who is Megan referencing in that poem? Any guesses?

[@caeligratia6706]

I don't know for sure, but to be fair poetry is a medium where the speaker can be a character rather than the poet him or herself

[@dori_1403]

Ok Megan, I am impressed!

[@emmyandboo]

Funny she mentioned only male poets 😂😂

[@SaraRoss-lb4hx]

I love you megan

[@savageclassymoody386]

Need to buy this book love her 😍 💕 ❤️ i dont know why i dont think msvhine gun kelly is the right one for her she seems to be babysitting his bad behaviour dhe seems lovely

[@missld6856]

So she never said it wasn’t Bryan Austin green so that makes me think it was him that she’s speaking about the abuse. Thoughts? Because if it’s not him then why wouldn’t she say it wasn’t. Seems it’s Brian she’s talking about yea?

[@jgunner94]

Does she answer a question involving Brian if it’s him she’s talking about? Where did you come get that angle from?

[@dboizz]

wow!

[@GingerNinja1]

Megan was always beautiful, but she doesn't look anything like she did! I would've never recognized her had her name not been attached to the title.

her voice as nitara in MK1 was bad@$$

I thought that was a Givin, not to talk bad about the other parent, it reflects on the time with that parent why give a child that stress
