Megan Fox reveals truth behind infamous 2009 Golden Globes red carpet interview

Megan Fox gave a shockingly offensive interview on the 2009 Golden Globes red carpet - she’s now revealed what was really going on.

Megan Fox has opened up about shocking comments she made back in 2009 that caused her to re-evaluate her relationship with alcohol.

The 35-year-old Transformers star admitted she overindulged in champagne at the 66th annual Golden Globe awards because she was feeling insecure, which saw her give a trainwreck interview on the red carpet.

Fox told Who What Wear in a new interview that she sat at a table with the Jonas Brothers and Blake Lively at the event and the champagne was flowing.

“At the Golden Globes, they always put those giant bottles of Moët champagne on the table. I went through multiple glasses of that,” Fox said.

“Now I don’t drink, and this is why … I was belligerent and said a bunch of s**t I shouldn’t have said on the red carpet after that. I’m sure I got in a lot of trouble for what I said … I don’t remember why but I know that I did.”

On the red carpet at the time E! host Giuliana Rancic introduced Fox as “one of the hottest women in the business right now.”

A visibly uncomfortable Fox shook her head, saying: “I’m pretty sure a doppelganger for (actor) Alan Alda. I’m a tr***y. I’m a man,” she said, which was met with criticism at the time.

“I’m so painfully insecure. I’m on the verge of vomiting right now. I’m so horrified that I’m here.”

Fox, who was attending her first Golden Globes, also declared she had a “22 inch waist”, before adding, “But I basically starve myself for a month. I’m kidding. I do a lot of pilates—an immense amount of pilates.”

Fox also commented about the absence of her then-boyfriend Brian Austin Green, who she said had an “ego”.

“He doesn’t want to be my date. He’s a man. He has an ego,” she said of her now estranged husband.

“I think he’s probably working on music. I don’t think he cares.”

During her recent interview reflecting on the event, Fox said she felt uncomfortable wearing her hair slicked back in a bun while donning a gold Ralph Lauren dress on the red carpet.

“I hate wearing my hair back like this,” Fox told Who What Wear. “I cannot believe I allowed this to happen. I have a huge, round forehead so I hate wearing my hair slicked back like that.”

Green and Fox ended their marriage in early 2020 after almost ten years. They share three kids together: three children: Bodhi, 7, Noah, 8, and Journey, 4.
