Megan Fox announces poetry book ‘Pretty Boys Are Poisonous’

She’s a poet and now we know it.

Megan Fox announced Tuesday that she is going to reveal the “secrets” and “sins” of men in a book of poems titled “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.”

“i wrote a book 💔,” she captioned a photo on Instagram of the cover, which features a mouth biting a snake.

The “Transformers” star then teased in another pic, “These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence.

“I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins.”

Fox concluded, “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.”

It is unclear which men’s secrets the “Jennifer’s Body” star plans to expose. Page Six has reached out to her publisher’s rep for comment.

However, Simon & Schuster, the publishing house for the book, released other details about what the collection of poems will entail, noting that Fox will showcase her “wicked humor” throughout them.

“Over the course of more than seventy poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process,” they added.

“Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” due out Nov. 7, is Fox’s first published piece of writing. However, she has been outspoken about dealing with misogyny in Hollywood over the years via the press.

The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” star told Glamour UK in April 2022, “I think that I was ahead of the #MeToo movement by almost a decade.

“I was always speaking out against some of the abusive, misogynistic, patriarchal things that were going on in Hollywood back in 2008 and 2009, way before people were ready to embrace that or tolerate it. And I actually got ridiculed for doing it. I think people just have had time to review that, in retrospect.”

Fox’s fans are already bursting with excitement over what her new book will reveal.

“Never preordered something so fast 🏃🏻‍♀️,” one person commented under her post.

Another wrote, “Beyond excited to have this on my bookshelf!!!”

A third added, “I’ve never wanted to buy a book written by a celebrity until today”

Fox’s on-again, off-again fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, even chimed in, “proud of you 🔥.”

Fox’s partner, Machine Gun Kelly, said he is “proud” of her for writing her book.

The couple, who got engaged in January 2022, reportedly broke up briefly earlier this year after the “Holiday In the Sun” star cryptically posted about the “taste of dishonesty.”

However, Fox and Kelly, 33, appeared to be back together by April following a “healing” vacation to Hawaii.

The “Expendables 4” actress was previously married to Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares three kids, from 2010 to 2021.
