Megan Fox's Pregnancy, Whose Secret?

There have been rumours speculating that Megan Fox might be pregnant. As of yet, the rumours are neither confirmed nor denied. They continue to be fuelled, as usually happens in these cases, by close-ups on Fox's stomach, which can then be analyzed by whoever cares to do so. Each passes verdict as to whether her belly grew or not. Of course, she also told Cosmopolitan in April, "I want at least two, probably three kids. I've always been maternal," which doesn't really tip the scale, since she doesn't say when she would like to have those kids.

Now, in May, Entertainment Tonight was granted an interview with Fox -- on the condition not to discuss her personal life. The sly interviewer manages, however, to bring up the subject in a not-so-sly way. After asking her about her must-have gadget, he shifts the conversation by asking, "Do you know the ultimate gadget that every man wants? A baby." Fox then responds: "A baby? Oh, I know where you're going with this. Okay, all right, go. Where do you want to go?" The interviewer asks (while Fox is  talking), "Any plans to give anybody a baby?" She then responds "no," seeming to squash the pregnancy rumours. However, it is not perfectly clear whether Fox even heard the interviewer's question. In any case, before he can get more details, a voice off-camera -- presumably Fox's manager -- interrupts: "You have to stop. Stop. Sorry, no." 

Many of the comments on the video discuss Fox's appearance. Some of them condemn the interviewer's sneaky methods. More still bring up invasion of privacy. However, I expected people to comment on the fact that Fox's own will was overridden by that of her people.

Of course, whether Megan Fox is pregnant or not, she has no obligation to share that information with the world. However, in the interview, yes, the subject was brought up despite the request not to do so. But the question is, whose request? Fox seems more than willing to discuss the matter, as she invites the interviewer to pursue the subject. In her line of work, she is very capable of refusing to answer a question, as celebrities often do. Therefore, why should Fox's entourage get the right to decide for her what to divulge and what not to? She is a grown woman. This baby, if it exists, is developing in her body. Basically, Megan Fox said yes, her people said no. The answer was no. That is abusive because the people managing Fox's image are there to guide her according to what they consider her best interest, not to force her to do as they say.

Hey, who knows? Maybe they even get to decide whether she has a baby at all.
