Megan Fox recalls 'ruthless' questions she got from paparazzi at height of fame

Megan Fox has spoken candidly about her experience with fame at the height of her career.

The American actress and Transformers star, 39, spoke about the pitfalls and how rude the paparazzi were to her when she was promoting her film, Jennifer's Body, when it came out in 2009.

Speaking at a screening of the film, per People, she recalled being called a "b--ch" by paparazzi.

"I just left a premiere for something where I had to go – I'm obligated to go – and I remember the paparazzi were so ruthless back then – the way they would talk to women," she said.

She said they hounded her when she was heading to her car.

"And one guy's like, 'Megan, why are you such a b--ch?' And another guy is like, 'Megan, do you think you're overrated? The internet says so,' and I'm just trying to do my job," she recalled.

She added that she "was really struggling at that time".

Fox, who welcomed a child with Machine Gun Kelly earlier this year, previously released a book of poetry and has been open about some trying times in the past.

Two years ago, the mother-of-four revealed she suffered a devastating miscarriage with the musician while speaking candidly about her book.

"I've never been through anything like that in my life," Fox said in an interview with Good Morning America.

"I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately," she said in the interview at the time.

The Transformers star said they were "trying to navigate: 'What does this mean?' and 'Why did this happen?'"

According to People, Fox writes about the miscarriage in her poetry book, Pretty Boys are Poisonous.

Some lines reportedly include: "I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh. But now / I have to say / goodbye."

She said she imagined holding the baby "as they rip you from my insides".
