Megan Fox Thought Brian Austin Green Was ‘Holding Her Back’ From Being A Movie Star?!

We’ve heard a lot already about the surprise breakup of Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green after 10 years of marriage. But are we just scratching the surface?

It seemed to us the main reason for the split was another relationship. While neither have technically confirmed it, all signs point to Megan dating Machine Gun Kelly, with whom she was co-starring in an upcoming film called Midnight In The Switchgrass. After being spotted together getting food to go (during a time in which we’re all supposed to be isolating with only those closest to us), sources confirmed the actors were “hooking up.”

But according to a new confidant, this is about more than on-set romance. An insider told Us Weekly on Friday this is just the beginning of a whole new beginning for Megan. According to this source the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star is looking to rebrand — and the father of her three children isn’t really part of the new multimedia strategy:

“Megan felt as though Brian had been holding her back from being in the limelight and she’s interested in getting back out there and reinventing herself.”

“Holding her back”? Ouch. We’re not sure how fair it is to blame the BAG man for Megan’s career the past few years. First there was that whole controversy with Michael Bay — in which she quit the Transformers franchise and infamously compared the high-powered director to Hitler. And her few non-Bay movies haven’t had the best critical receptions either (though we have seen a lot of critics in recent years re-evaluating Jennifer’s Body).

Maybe it’s just having a husband at all — i.e. being a wife and mother — the 34-year-old feels is standing in her way?? BAG did say something similar on his podcast this week, about Megan liking herself better alone:

“She said, ‘You know, I realized while I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience, and I think that may be something worth trying for me.'”

Damn. He can’t have meant without the kids at all, though, right? That would be too horrible!

Well, according to another source speaking to the outlet, it sounds like parenting was a sore point for the couple, though not because Megan wanted to be on her own:

“The two of them had been arguing about parenting styles.”

Was her suggestion a more hands off approach? Much, much more?

We joke, but in all seriousness we can’t imagine a disagreement on parenting could have broken up the couple on its own. When both parents want what’s best for the kids, they’ll come to a compromise. No, we’re still putting our money on Megan looking for that second chance at her 20s, being a movie star on the rise, unencumbered by a husband.
