Megan Fox's biggest bombshells from love addiction to heartbreaking miscarriage
Megan Fox has opened up about her personal struggles and intimate relationships in her debut poetry collection, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
In the book, Megan talks about "toxicity" in relationships and describes what it's like to be "addicted" to a partner she describes as a "narcissist". The poems take inspiration from the actress' own life, as well as her imagination.
Speaking about her debut book of poems, Megan said in a statement: "I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness." Here, we've taken a look back at some of the most explosive parts of the book.

In the collection, Meghan makes multiple references to her "true love, twin flame", someone she also describes as a "32-year-old narcissist" and a "complacent rock star". She accuses the unnamed man of lying about having "good" intentions.
"You are an addiction that no amount of prayers will ever cure," Megan wrote in her poem titled A Beautiful Boy Is A Deadly Drug. The title seems to be a reference to the caption Megan used on Instagram to declare her love for MGK in 2020. At the time, she said: "Achingly Beautiful Boy".

Megan has opened up her heart in the book (Variety via Getty Images)In Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, Megan reveals that her healers tell her that her "throat chakra is blocked". She has been told she struggles to identify her feelings and articulate them to others.
However, Megan said she disagrees with this. Instead, she said she "deeply" identifies with her emotions and has a multitude of ways in which she can express them. Sadly, she's found that doing so makes the men in her life feel "intimidated, inadequate and insecure".
In the forward of her book, Megan also admitted she has spent her life making herself small so that others can thrive. She added: "I have always believed I am meant to be a sacrificial lamb, a ransom soul."
