Well, Megan has been successful in life but also it wasn't a straight path. She has had her fair share of ups and downs. Of course, she is doing well today because she overcame her struggles. Afterall, being a human being itself is a constant challenge until death.

• Her body image - Megan has been very open with her struggles about body image and has often spoken out against unrealistic beauty standards. Imagine this, she was voted as a symbol of extreme beauty for years and it comes with a cost of maintaining oneself that way. She was once upon a time refered to as the next Angelina Jolie. She was allegedly put on a diet of just water and vinegar for certain roles. And fired for struggling with it, which Steven Spielberg has denied. The difficulty of being in shape for years is indeed challenging for a woman. She even became a mother and has managed to still stay in shape. One can only imagine what she went through to keep a job. Megan has been so good at it that she faced overexposure in the media for a long period of time. She has had multiple tattoos and tattoo removals done on her body. But nevertheless, she did it and still continues to be in an incredible physical shape. Got to give it to her good genes too. 

• Her personal life - Megan's personal life has been the subject of much media attention and she has been quite criticized for her relationships. She has been in two relationships in her life. They have both failed to remain stable. Today, Megan Fox is a single mother to 3 children. Although she has had only majorly male friends growing up, she has confessed later on that she has a general dislike and distrust for men.

And in 2021, they were divorced again. Then, she entered into a relationship with singer Machine Gun Kelly soon, which was called off by the year 2024.

• Her career choices - Megan has made some controversial career choices, such as starring in the film Jennifer's Body. Choices like this, have sometimes alienated her fans. They felt the movie too extreme and in bad taste. Being a bombshell, she was marketed very cheaply is what was felt. The movie was too controversial with Megan Fox having to perform bold scenes of bodily exposure and extreme violence. Besides this, not all of her movies were a hit. Some of her movies performed very poorly in the box office. Some of them had most minimal screening due to poor reception from the audience. She has said that she isn't going to be a role model of anything atleast in the United States. The movies like Jonah Hex and Passion Play performed terribly after release. They underperformed commercially with a weak reception. She was given two infamous awards in her career, namely Golden Raspberry Award For Worst Actress and Golden Raspberry Award For Worst Supporting Actress. She still overcame these hurdles and continues to work in the entertainment scene whenever an opportunity shows up.

• Her mental health - Megan Fox has a genetic condition called Brachydactyly (Type D). It is a condition in the fingers, especially the thumb. It causes the thumb to be clubbed or wide while the thumb on the other hand is normal. She has also revealed that she suffers from OCD which stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. A person suffering from OCD has certain routines that they feel compelled to do repeatedly in order to alleviate an obsession. It becomes too much that OCD affects their behaviour and mind. She has also discussed publicly that she has insecurities, self-harming or mutilating tendencies and nurtures a low self-esteem. It is indeed sad to know about these conditions suffered by a successful individual. However, she tells that she relies on her Christian faith in dealing with these issues and that she wants to continually grow up in it.

• Her controversial remarks - Megan Fox has managed to spark intensely controversial remarks in her career. They weren't particularly ill or negatively filled hate but they still made her opinions controversial. Everything cannot be listed here but some of the widely talked about one can be mentioned in few words. She made an opinion that every Hollywood woman was marketed as erotic symbols, which didn't sit well with some of those who heard them. People came forward with disagreements to it. They said that part of her persona was in making outlandish claims. They said it gave her fame for sure as against a beautiful female who always said the right things. Comments were also made upon her prior and after this which were unrelated. She was labelled a temptress because of her seductive roles in movies. They dubbed her as the next Angelina Jolie, which actually hurt her image as being a copy. And just like the replacement in Bond movies, they said that Megan would replace Jolie in the Lara Croft series. She was outspoken against the comparisons because she didn't like it. It only fuelled the process. Then, there was her accusation against Transformers director Michael Bay about his on-set behaviour. 3 crew members came in his defence which affected her image. Michael Bay rejected it sportively and continued to work with Megan Fox. A production assistant came in her defence and clarified that there was no such issue. Either way, they all talked together and put it all behind to continue working like nothing happened. However, it affected her career in some way later on.
