French magazine apologizes for Megan Fox misquote

By Tribute on June 1, 2012 | 4 Comments


It appears that Megan Fox isn’t as vain as magazines would have you believe. French magazine Jalouse printed a retraction regarding a misquote that appeared in their April issue, saying, “In a Jalouse cover story featuring Ms. Megan Fox, we unfortunately misquoted Ms. Fox. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.” The problems stem from a profile with the 26-year-old starlet released in March. Though the interview was conducted in English, it was later translated into French before being re-translated to English, turning a quote from the Transformers star into, “I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl.” The quote spawned a media frenzy labeling the actress as “superficial,” leaving Fox understandably upset and prompting her to turn to Facebook to dispel reports she said such a thing. “I’ve never made vapid self serving comments and in contradiction am uncontrollably self deprecating.” Later, the expectant mother once again turned to Facebook, thanking the magazine for their apology. ~Kyle Sharp

    We must consolidate and expand the broadest possible patriotic united front, and foster harmonious relations between political parties, between ethnic groups, between religions, between social strata, and between compatriots at home and overseas, he said.
