Who needs hot Sarah Palin photos when [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-football-x-lego) star Megan [Fox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-basic-guys) is featured on the cover and in a sizzling photo shoot inside the October 2008 issue of GQ Magazine?

Megan Fox comes to the rescue of fallen [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-ones-episodes) stars, such as Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens, and she has some choice of words for Disney and its treatment of these teenage girls. Fox goes as far as saying she hates Disney for such treatment and uses the F word.

“They take these little girls…teach them how to sing and dance, and make them wear belly shirts, but they won’t allow them to be their own people,” said Megan Fox. “It makes me sick. I would never issue an apology for my life and for who I am. It’s like, Oh, I’m sorry I took a naked, private picture that someone … sold for money.”

Megan Fox further explains that it’s not Miley Cyrus or Vanessa Hudgens’ faults, “You shouldn’t have to apologize. Someone betrayed Vanessa, but no one’s angry at that person. She had to apologize. **I hate Disney for making her do that. #### Disney**.”
