Megan Fox captivated her audience not just with her words, but also with her bold fashion choices during a recent event promoting her new poetry book, “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.” The event took place in New York City on Tuesday night, where the actress read excerpts from her book.
Fox, known for her roles in films like “Jennifer’s Body” and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” donned a striking outfit for the occasion. She wore a sheer tank top paired with a brown leather midi skirt and glossy black high-heeled boots. The ensemble highlighted her daring fashion sense and complemented her fiery red bob and matching manicure. Her makeup was equally glamorous, featuring nude gloss and long lashes that accentuated her natural beauty.
The actress opted to go braless, adding a touch of boldness to her look, though she did wear nipple covers for a bit of modesty. She carried a copy of her new book and a black leather purse with a pearl-stringed strap, confidently showcasing her latest literary endeavor.
“Pretty Boys Are Poisonous” is more than just a collection of poems; it’s a deeply personal reflection of Fox’s experiences and emotions. The book, which includes over 70 poems, debuted at the number one spot on Amazon’s Best Sellers list in the Poetry by Women category. Through her poignant and sometimes chilling words, Fox shares her struggles with heartbreak, love, and personal trauma.

At the event, Fox revealed that the poems were written as a way to confront and release the emotional pain she had endured. “These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence,” she explained. “I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men; my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins.”
Fox hopes her book will inspire others to find their voices and reclaim their happiness and identities. “My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what’s been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness,” she shared.
While Fox doesn’t mention any of her former lovers by name, the book includes references that seem to allude to her relationship with her fiancé, musician Machine Gun Kelly. Various passages in the book describe a “32-year-old narcissist,” the author’s “true love, twin flame,” and a “complacent rock star” with questionable intentions.
One of the poems, titled “A beautiful boy is a deadly drug,” reflects on a toxic relationship: “You are an addiction that no amount of prayers will ever cure,” she wrote. This sentiment mirrors the “Achingly Beautiful Boy” caption Fox used in an Instagram post proclaiming her love for MGK in August 2020.
Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, got engaged in January 2022. Their relationship has been marked by intense public scrutiny and rumors of ups and downs, including a breakup scare in February that was later dispelled. Despite the turmoil, the couple has remained together, navigating their relationship under the public eye.
Before her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, Fox was married to actor Brian Austin Green from 2010 to 2022. The former couple shares three children: Noah, 11, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 7. Fox’s experiences as a mother and her journey through love and loss have undoubtedly influenced her poetic expressions.
At the event, Fox’s presence was magnetic. Her red tresses and scarlet nails perfectly matched the fiery spirit of her writing. The actress’s ability to blend her fashion choices with her personal narrative added a layer of authenticity to the evening.
In “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” Megan Fox has opened up a new chapter of her life, one where she is not just an actress but also a poet who uses her words to heal and empower. Her poetry reveals the depths of her emotional experiences and offers a glimpse into the strength it takes to confront and share such intimate parts of oneself.
As fans and readers delve into her book, they are invited to witness Fox’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Her daring fashion choices at the event were just a reflection of her boldness in both her personal life and her artistic expression. Megan Fox continues to captivate and inspire, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with in both the entertainment and literary worlds.
