Megan Fox’s Most Empowering Quotes About Being a Woman in Hollywood Through the Years - Us Weekly Posted: 23 Jun 2020 11:33 AM PDT Sticking it to the man. Throughout her time in the spotlight, Megan Fox has never been afraid to call out the influence of sexism and misogyny on her career. In 2009, the Transformers actress, 34, raised eyebrows with fiery comments about her experience working with director Michael Bay on the first two installments of the action films. "'Be hot.' I've had that note on set before," she told Wonderland magazine at the time. "I'll say, 'Who am I talking to? Where am I supposed to be looking at?' And he responds, 'Just be sexy.' I get mad when people talk to me like that." More than a decade later, footage of Fox detailing a particularly uncomfortable audition for Bay resurfaced on social media. During a 2009 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actress remembered being asked to put on a bikini and high heels to dance under a waterfall in 2003's Bad Boys II. "At 15, I was in 10th grade," she said at the time. "That's sort of a microcosm of how Bay's mind works." Shortly after the old interview went viral, Fox took to Instagram to address the conversations that had "erupted online" about her "experiences in Hollywood and the subsequent mishandling of this information" at the time. The New Girl actress was fired from Bay's films after taking aim at his directing style. "While I greatly appreciate the outpouring of support, I do feel I need to clarify some of the details as they have been lost in the retelling of the events and cast a sinister shadow that doesn't really, in my opinion, belong," she wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement on Monday, June 22, before going into detail about her time working with Bay and her previous claims. "When it comes to my direct experiences with Michael, and Steven [Spielberg] for that matter, I was never assaulted or preyed upon in what I felt was a sexual manner." Two years earlier, Fox opened up about why she decided to stay silent as some of the most powerful men in Hollywood finally faced consequences for their inappropriate histories amid the #MeToo movement. "One could assume that I probably have quite a few stories, and I do — I didn't speak out for many reasons," she explained to the New York Times. "I just didn't think based on how I'd been received by people, and by feminists, that I would be a sympathetic victim." Scroll down to relive more of Fox's most critical comments about the way Hollywood treats its female stars.

Trump: Obama Spying On My Campaign Was "Treason" - RealClearPolitics Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:33 PM PDT CBN News' David Brody sits down with President Donald Trump for an exclusive interview at the White House to discuss the 2020 election, John Bolton's upcoming book, and more. According to CBN News, Trump called Joe Biden "shot" and added that "whoever will be running the country" will place "radical" left-wing justices on the Supreme Court, meaning the "end" of the pro-life movement. Trump called the surveillance of his campaign by the FBI and DOJ was "treason" by the Obama administration. David Brody: On Obama and the spying situation, this idea that they were spying on your campaign, you've been asked before about what crime would have been potentially been committed. President Trump: Treason. David Brody: Well, that's what I was going to ask you. President Trump: It's treason. Look, when I came out a long time ago, I said they've been spying on our campaign. They've been taping, that was in quotes, meaning a modern-day version of taping, they were spying on my campaign, I told you that a long time ago. It turns out I was right. Let's see what happens to them now. Durham is, I never met him because I want to stay out of it because otherwise, it's going to look political, but as you know. Durham is a highly respected person and Bill Barr is doing a great job as Attorney General, let's see what they come up with. But they don't have to tell me, all I have to do is read the papers, the insurance policy, "in case she doesn't win, we have an insurance policy." Well, that was all the stuff we went through over the last two and a half years. Now we've caught them cold. Strzok and Page, the two lovers, Brennan and Clapper the way they lied. David Brody: Democrats can't stand Bill Barr. They think he's political. President Trump: You know why? Because he's doing such a good job. He's law and order. He's got them in his crosshairs, and now we have to see what's going to happen. I will say this if it were reversed, and the other party were there in the Oval Office behind the Resolute desk and it was the opposite, two years ago, 25 people would have been convicted and they would have been sent to jail for 50 years.
