If Hollywood was a reality show, Scarlett Johansson would be that pretty girl on the show that all the other contestants (especially the women) are inexplicably allied against in a display of outsized vitriol that makes you mutter, "Jesus! Is she really that bad?" OK, fine, she would be Sierra from this season of Survivor. Yes, I still watch it. Anyway, our poor Scar-Jo was once the victim of an out-of-nowhere bathroom wall slander from Lindsay Lohan, and now Transformers vixen Megan Fox is piling on.
Here's Fox pulling the classic "No offense, but something offensive" gambit in Esquire this month:
"I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson - who I have nothing against," she says, "but I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I've ever learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard - but I do. And part of it is my own fault."
This interview, surely, will not contribute to that perception.
