Megan Fox dishes on Olsens

By Alexandra Heilbron on September 3, 2010 | 6 Comments


Megan Fox was amazed by how “socially awkward” Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were when she worked with them. The three appeared in the 2001 movie Holiday in the Sun together, and Megan was initially bowled over to be working with the twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley began their television careers when they were just nine months old. Mary-Kate recently said she feels they were “little monkey performers” as kids, and although she doesn’t regret her upbringing she wouldn’t want anyone else to go through it. Megan can understand what she means, as the sisters were not like normal teenagers when she worked with them. “They’re nice girls. The first time I had ever been around someone really famous was them. We were kids, I was about 15 and so were they. I saw how awkward socially they were with large groups of people because they had been famous their whole lives and looked at their whole lives and I didn’t understand why anyone would be like that,” Megan told Diablo Cody during an interview for her new show Red Band Trailer. “I had no understanding about why you would shut down and be afraid and have phobias, but as it happens to you, you sort of develop them and become crazy.”

    There’s no way any children with that amount of public and media scrutiny would come out of that without some emotional damage. They were booked on “Mary-Kate and Ashley cruises” so fans could meet them when they weren’t even 10 years old yet! They were totally prostituted out by their manager and parents for money. No wonder they took full control of their company the day they turned 18. Notice that since they gained control of their lives, they’ve pretty much kept out of the public eye.

    To Olsens: good for them. to Megan Fox: You should learn from them instead of talking bullshit

    Megan should be quiet, she has no idea what they go through on an every day basis. They probly never get a moments peace.

    Yep, they were nothing but cash cows for their family. Disgusting. I hate to see children used in that way and I hope people don’t vote for that kid opera singer on America’s Got Talent because she’s going to be exploited in the same way. If you watch her Youtube videos, her parents were already making money from her by having her sing at company parties. Um, what? And an interviewer asks the kid what it was like to sing for that function and she answers “Stressful.” Wake up parents!

    I don’t think Megan was saying anything bad about them.
