What is Megan Fox's secret past?

The tattooed wild child admitted taking drugs, but why does she still say she's f***ed up?

Megan Fox's parents split when she was a kid

She regularly tops ‘sexiest female’ polls, yet Megan Fox says that she hates her reflection so much it reduces her to a panic attack.

It’s not the first time the outrageous statements of the 23-year-old Transformers actress have screamed out from the headlines.

Megan recently said: ‘I can’t tell you how much bullshit I’ve been through because I openly say I smoke weed,’ and she makes no secret of the fact that she’s bisexual.

But there are deep-seated reasons for her rebellious behaviour, according to those who’ve known her since she was a little girl.

‘Megan's parents divorced when she was a kid and it was hard on her,’ a source reveals.

Mum Darlene Tonachio, 57, remarried and she and her new husband were strict on Megan. ‘She was forever being grounded – often for things like not making her bed,’ the source adds. ‘She was hardly ever allowed out of the house.’

From that early age, Megan showed the determination that would eventually make her a star.

She sought refuge in dance and theatre from the age of five – though this alienated her from her peers. ‘Kids were jealous. Girls always thought she was stuck up,’ the source explains.

Megan also found comfort in Marilyn Monroe. ‘Even when she was a baby, if she saw her on TV, she’d go into a trance. She feels like they’re kindred spirits. That’s why she has a Marilyn tattoo.’

While time’s healed her relationship with her mother, she admits she’s still ‘f***ed up’ from her childhood.

This helps to explain why the LAPD were called several times to the house that Megan shared with her ex, former 90210 star Brian Austin Green, after fights between the pair.

Their rocky romance came to a head when he didn’t join her for this year’s Golden Globe Awards. They also reportedly tried counselling before giving up last month, but they’ve spent time together recently.

Megan’s also been linked with Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf. But sources say it’s not what it seems.

‘They’re in an open relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if she invited other girls into their bed for threesomes,’ one tells Now. ‘She’s focused on being with Shia in the near and long-term.’
