Ahhh was waiting for this. Something just doesn't seem right here. I want it to be real but the video of it, how it's edited, and how it just seemed very rehearsed. Also the matching footlocker shirts are just weird.
@@emkrabs SO TRU AHH yeh the fact that they posted the video of it on multiple platforms with the long captions jus rlly shows how hard they're trying to make their engagement the thing of the year.... Like we don't care. Go be happy by y'all selves
When it comes to Megan's current behaviour, context is key. Megan met her ex husband, Brian Austin Green, when she was 18 and he was 31. She was a teenager (probably naive and gullible) and he was very much an adult who had the opportunity to date multiple women and enjoy his 20s. Sadly she spent her entire 20s with a man more than a decade older than her and with 3 children. Megan is now rebelling and trying to capitalize on what she may have thought she missed out on when she was lockdown by Brian. She is very much acting like a teenager in love who is carefree.
Actually, I can ensure you that Brian was extremely abusive with her and left her with deep traumas. The way she proceeded to have multiple surgeries when she was already outstanding (he was probably calling her ugly or making her feel like such by flirting with other women to assert power over her). From interviews I have watched with both of them he was the one in charge and I can sense him as a manipulative, emotional, nervous, and jealous of her in every sense. He had 0 zero respect for her. Also, she was the one pursuing him in the beginning of their relationship. That man destroyed her and humiliated her but most people Don't see that because she never showed it. This is revenge 100% from her part. And very well deserved I might say
The word is they're on coke but it's hear say. They probably do a few different things. She said she got him off illegal substances but it looks like she's higher than he is in the pictures especially the ones she's straight faced.
Yep! If you’ve been around people who do uppers you would know that Megan was clearly on it at the VMAs (onstage and during interviews). Molly is called the “love drug” for a reason, it fries your brain too.
Honestly shes trying to hard, and is very tacky. Wearing basically nothing is not a good example for her kids - especially broadcasting it on social media, and wtf is with this blood thing??😂😂 yikes! But they are happy together it seems like. Thats what matters i guess.
@@marniee.d.5511 Yup. The things she posts are very reminiscent of how folks write when they are doing speed or molly. MGK is used to both so he's handling it better, hence we don't see such extreme (and cringe) declarations from him. I would have a very hard time believing they are clean and sober and high exclusively off of "karma".
I realized why I love shallon so much. When I was a teenager I LOVED gossip mags but I never loved reading (I’m a stem freak). Shallon is like an audible gossip mag. It’s literally everything I never realized I wanted
I sort of love shallon too. First vid bk after all the scandles...yes shallon says stuff i dont agree with, but we have enough brain cells to think critically. She has some thing very special to offer. Shes a 2004 soroity chick, the tacky bit of the shop that sells pink shit for women like pink hardware. who has vaulable insight
I noticed how similar Megan is trying to be to Angelina Jolie too. Back when she was in her blood drinking, tattooed, leather pants wearing phase. Everyone compared them when Megan first became popular and I think she's trying to be the "new" version. Cos she doesn't have her own identity since her divorce maybe.
Totally! I thought about it too. It feels so forced with Megan though, with Angelina it was simply who she was at the time. Feels like Megan is playing a character
I’m glad you talked about them chasing the rush and all the intensity. My first thought was “What will she do when they are a regular married couple raising kids and the excitement of dating dies down?” Like how could they possibly keep all of that wild intensity up for the long haul? I don’t know just a thought. I’m sure they do really love each other and wish them well.
That's a really good question. What will happen when there's a standoff over folding the laundry or squabbles about who forgot the GoGurt in the kids lunches. At some point you have to stop boning and start...living life.
I wonder how she manages to find time for all of this even now, because she already has children. You have to literally ignore your children to be able to have a relationship like that. You need time for that.
The fact that these two publicly video taped their proposal and then posted it on Instagram and TikTok was very bizarre and very cringe to the point where it’s almost as if these two are trying too hard to show off their relationship in public. I was actually a huge fan of MGK even going back to 2009 and what a lot of people don’t know is he had very few serious relationships and he would never publicly show off his woman and he openly admitted in very old interviews that he would cheat and would never stick with one woman, and I found it interesting reading in a recent interview of his that he actually had a poster of Megan on his wall growing up and it seems as if he’s showing her off in particular because she’s “Megan Fox” being the fact that she is a very desirable woman that a lot of men would want to be with because of her exotic beauty. I never want to shit on couples who are happy about they’re love but they have become over the top and irritating. That should have been kept as a private moment. And being of fan of his, he always struck me as someone that was super private and didn’t want to get involved in PR media type crap. It’s been interesting to observe.
Such fantastic insight. Truly. Thanks for sharing. I’m a bit older than most women here, so from my timeline, it is very reminiscent of Ben and Jenn. And now that they’re back together, people are romanticizing their relationship, trying to in turn reminisce on their own lives back in the early 2000’s, instead of taking it at face value. Two celebs dating - two celebs with a dramatic past. Two celebs who have joined lives again either out of love or for publicity. Only time will tell.
Yes and did you read the 1 Interview mgk and megs did at the D&G event. The journo says what do you think about all the hype on social media regarding your engagement. Meg says & I quote "I dont know, I dont do social media,l" Hmmm yeah ok MF 🙄
Enforcing is a good word for it, reminds me of how she very pointedly introduced him as her future baby daddy at an award show - long before the engagement
Real ‘Twin flames’ (although it’s just a dumb label) know they’re soulmates/ regular couple. Twin flames run away from each other usually within weeks on meeting and it’s very rare they have a romantic commitment. The relationship causes a dark night of the soul / ego death. Extremely painful…It’s not A Disney romance likes she’s portraying. The purpose is ascension, not a relationship.
I really feel like Megan is trying to keep up with mgk’s intense lifestyle, but secretly wants to settle down. It’s hard to imagine mgk settling down for a long period of time.
I think the whole twinflame thing is an unconscious attempt on her part to tie him down and make sure he's kept in line by the "eternal love that requires sacrifices"
@@islabee94 I feel like he quickly latched on to that theory as something that would help him out of his addictions and destructive behaviour. But she's the one forcing it on him I agree
Also kourtney knew Travis for like a decade as a friend, so her rushed engagement isn’t that wild. These two just are super in love but they are not going to be compatible. This will end around the 3-4 year mark.
Am i the only one thinking this is a bit of a publicity stunt? Megan became more relevant the day she started dating him, MGK was kind of a joke before he started dating her and together they became the newest most talked about couple
I dont know they act like a bunch of teenagers who just got a boyfriend/girlfriend for the first time so they have to make out in front of everyone to make sure everyone knows they FINALLY have someone...not to mention they have to do weird shit because they believe it makes their relationship "cool" and "edgy" when in reality it makes them seem desperate for people to notice them..but thats my opinion 🤣🤣💯
yes, that's a good point, there's a huge element of desperation that you get when people are THIS showy. Like jesus how miserable were you single? And why?? Maybe just be alone. Go on a yoga retreat. Remodel your bathroom. Just relax.
I feel kind of sad looking at Megan's Instagram before MGK because she was doing charitable work and bringing awareness to different important causes and looked slightly more natural and now everything is just her and him. Everything got overshadowed.
Absolutely ! Pre MGK she was working on projects I think something to do with geology like a documentary , she spoke about her kids , motherhood , spoke up for how Hollywood treated her , doing charity etc and I would find her so admirable . It’s why people spoke about her so highly and talked about how she deserved better from Hollywood and was a victim of misogyny and how she became relevant again because we all thought she was cool . Now she literally has no personality outside of MGK and their relationship.. I’m all for women having fun despite any age or if they are married with kids etc but she has no personality now and is just trying so hard so be edgy and sexy when she was way sexier just being herself how she was before with an actual personality .. and the whole trying to be edgy thing is straight out of a 2014 tumblr fanfic it’s just straight up cringey 😬
Yes! She was low key and likeable. I admired her for being committed to bag and her kids. I really liked some of the stuff she was starting to do like that history thing. And then now she is going full blown sex pot and it all seems like she's trying too hard. Idk, it was a 180 and it seems unhealthy.
@@samanthamartellaro6877 yes she has completely disregarded the history thing and seems have nothing in her life except MGK and the sex they have .. it seems very unhealthy 😬 Feel like she is a different person she used to be so cool and low-key .
yes, they seem infatuated and obsessed with eachother. maybe her previous relationship became so stale and now she mistakes these new intense feelings for grander love…
I can't tell you how grateful I am that social media wasn't around when I was younger! I didn't get on social media until I was in my early thirties and I still look back at posts and cringe. I would be hating life if I had been posting in my teens and twenties
Copycat can also show up as a friend attaching themselves to you. I’ve never been popular in the slightest but I’ve had friends in the past overcompensate for characteristics or lack of likability by attaching themselves to me in an overzealous way. “Oh she’s my bestest best friend! We’re a package deal.” It’s like no babe. Get your own personality. They never lasted too long after I noticed.
The worst is when they have to announce, "you're like my sister!" or "we're family!" We are not family - I would not take a bullet for you nor am I interested in doing that. Your admiration is edging on Single White Female and you need to get therapy.
Here’s my theory: I think The Kardashian’s copied Megan. I think she made it cool to date tattooed dirty band guys. Now the Kardashian’s are “edgy” and getting the desperate attention they desire so desperately. Kourtney jumped on board w/Travis and now Kim copies w/Pete. Also Shallon love your imitation of Pete 😂
The Kardashians seen how much attention they were getting. She’s hot with a rocker. So they thought I’m going to try this. It looks like fun and a ton of attention. Kim and Pete will not last. I don’t think Meghan is copying Courtney, I think Courtney is copying Megan with dressing.Yes the proposal is similar. I’d like to think that was an accident and those two weren’t thinking. Because I don’t think they are trying to copy Kravis.
I just got engaged and as much as I hate to admit it because I wish women could really support women, the majority truly don’t. I have a friend that has been with her baby daddy for 8 years and she wants to get married but he hasn’t asked her and I feel like she’s salty that I got engaged after 11 months with my fiancé (now a year and a month) also my aunt and two cousins. It’s crazy how you’ll realize how certain women in your life really feel once you are going through an amazing time in your life. Even women in the family. I hate copy cats. Can’t stand them. Be better than me. Do better than me but don’t try to be a better me. Weirdo behavior
This is very true! My friend was in a relationship and she knew deep down the guy was never going to marry her and whenever she would see someone on fb getting married it was all eye rolls and snark.
@@fabfemme800 so sad. But as shallon would say “you can’t change anybody. You can only change yourself. These women have the power to change their lives and choose not to. What they do choose to do is hate on anyone that isn’t afraid to go after what they want. And this comes with everything. The ring, the wedding the marriage but also: a degree, a new career, new car ect.
I got engaged last year as well (congrats to you btw!) and I am already seeing some of my friends and family’s true colors showing though as well. It’s weird how weddings and engagements being out so much jealousy and weirdness from people you thought would be over the moon for you.
One of the funniest things is she insists they are “Twin Flames.” Give me a break. I’m very into reading about Twin Flames and soulmates. Twin Flames are real, but it’s rare for them to enter a union. When they actually do, it’s HIGHLY spiritual and devoid of ego. These two have egos the size of Texas. Keep dreaming, Megan.
Agreed with all of this. I have a lot of copycat friends around me, but the thing is, it's "irrational" and "illogical" when I do it, but somehow they do it sooner than later, and those actions are absolutely normal if they are the ones who do it. The world is a screwed up place with quite the number of egoists.
Pre MGK Megan actually had a personality she was doing a geology documentary I think , spoke about motherhood and spoke up for the misogyny she faced in Hollywood and did charity work etc and was really low-key about her private life and life in general which is why ( even though she is gorgeous anyway ) she appeared even more sexy as she was mysterious .. now she has no personality outside of MGK and talks about nothing except him . They are so cringey they act like high school couple out of a 2014 fanfic on tumblr written by a twilight fan . She is obviously still physically beautiful but she just doesn’t have that same mysterious beauty to me now it all just seems like she is trying too hard to be edgy . The “drank each others blood “thing was nauseating 🤢 I don’t think they will last that long and I think when they eventually do break up it will hit her very hard as she has formulated her whole personality around being MGKs girlfriend .. what will she have when the relationship is over ? Plus she didn’t even divorce from BAG who she was with for over a decade THAT long ago .. it’s far too soon to be married again 😳
If someone is able to steal your employees, it's probably better to reflect on what your copy cat is offering- good people don't leave a good workplace for no reason. Is it better pay? Is it better working conditions? A more positive workplace? You can't get better without assessing your weaknesses, and maybe the copycat is helpful in helping you find your weakness.
Perhaps 🤔 But I've worked in a salon where the stylists were poached from another business, much like the scenario Shallon gave, with one employee leaving to start her own salon and taking a few other stylists with her. Let's just say the grass isn't always as green on the other side as it was promised to be. And when it wasn't, those who came with her were regretful and without much recourse as they couldn't return to their former place of employment, obv. Their former "friend"-coworker turned out to be a mega-bitchy boss and there was a general malaise and low morale in the "new" workplace. I got out myself as fast as I could.
Hi Shallon! It's like you read our minds when we are going through it. I never realized how much of a presence I had until someone started copying me. Wanted my man, started to try to act like me, talk like me.... She ended up stabbing me in the back. I never realized how naive I was but peacefully I let them go. It is amazing to hear this because it gives me a sense of peace and understanding. Many of us go through it and I am glad I am not the only one because I was being delusional or crazy but hey Shallonators are all in the same boart
I dont understand why she said they went through hell? Did they lose a child? Was there a war i dont know about? Did their house burn down? If they went through hell in their first year of dating while being rich and succesful - maybe dont get married. Get a therapist
Unfortunately people have kids to try and patch up relationships which never works (lead singer of Image Dragons is a prime example) and then they have these poor kids who have to grow up in the middle of that mess. I’m sure they love the children, but it’s just such a bad situation for a family.
I have a friend who literally started dressing like me, acting like me, my personality, the way I speak and everything. She ALMOST got the same car as me. I cut her off and acted like I was going through stuff and wanted to protect my energy and my identity for that matter. One day I told her why I really stopped being around her and she didn’t even apologize and was kinda in-denial about it all. It was like, “oh well sorry if I come off that way but I wasn’t trying to?” Like really…. really…. she even asked me where I got my jewelry from and said, and I quote, “where did you get your rings? I want to wear a bunch of rings too.” It’s just annoying when you spend so much time individualizing yourself and being genuine and somebody comes along and tries to make it theirs.
I had a friend just like this & several more but my first friend like this - in highschool I had been wanting a at the time a brand new Mitsubishi eclipse 06 , black & had been obsessing over it for a year . & Everybody knew I was going to be getting it during spring break(for my senior year) so we get back to school & day 1 of back at school on spring break = she shows up with a black , Mitsubishi eclipse except she couldn't afford a brand new one & got a 2002 model.. 🤯 luckily they looked different bc the body style changed in 2006. But it was so cringe & I seriously couldn't believe my best friend did that & didn't tell anyone until also showing up back from spring break w the exact same car except old. Idk why she'd even want to embarrass herself like that. But guess she just couldn't stand not copying me on something. Smh
Girl same i had a friend from ukraine and she had been adopted into the united states she had a hard up bringing was abused and all that. And we became friends she copied my makeup my hair my voice what music i liked and i didnt mind at first then she tried sabotaging relationships with guys i had and like made lies about me and made me look bad when i was showering and they were all in my room.... And she started taking care of my dog so much my sog started liking her moree and she felt power in that. She lived with me and one time i was sleeping and slept all day i was exauhsted she fucking cleaned my entire room and rearranged it how she wants and she just ended up being fucking evil. It was crazy!
I love the color scheme, makeup and hair! The color orange looks so good on you. I’ve noticed orange looks so good on blondes. I’m jealous! I remember when a popular girl showed up to prom in a long orange dress and I think I was bamboozled (a verb you often say).
Great video Shallon! And thank you so much for addressing the whole copycat thing-it’s such a touchy subject, went through it in school, thought all that was over, then its happened again here n there in adulthood and it’s so much harder to navigate and complicated by then! Not enough talk on this subject esp for adulthood!
It's one of those things society especially gaslights you about. Oh you should be FLATTERED. Flattered someone is stealing my intellectual property, whether that's style or content or ideas? Why is that flattering? Are carjackers flattering? Are bank robbers? I'm tired of acting like it's 🥰cute🥰 when someone stands on the shoulders of giants and calls themselves tall.
@@shallonlester Yeah! It’s like you’re supposed to take it lightly but sometimes it can lead to actual consequences and that’s just not talked about 💯!
Conspiracy theory: what if MGK told Travis he wanted to propose, so Travis did it first because he wanted to do it as well but didn't want to look like the copycat? However something about that proposal didn't feel natural, the irony is that Megan is an actress yet looks so ...
This was such a great topic! Thanks so much for delving into it. My best friend in high school was always competitive but when we were in college it got to the point where she had to one-up every single thing I said. Literally every sentence I said would be replied to “yeah well, I DID THIS.” Eventually I just had to realize it was time to move on. Love her to death to this day, but I needed to move on and find healthier relationships with people who weren’t trying to copycat and outdo me. It IS better to just distance without confrontation. You hit the nail on the head **as usual.**
I’ve dealt with friends like this. The best thing to do is make yourself busy and be distant with them. You don’t even owe them an explanation either. Insecure friends especially jealous friends aren’t your friends. You can have compassion but you don’t need them in your life
As cringe as the whole announcement was, I think this part was a self-referential joke to stir up shit in the comments - wouldn't put it past Megan to do so :)
Thank you for this video, Shallon. My former online bestie knew that I wanted to apply as a social media manager/content creator for a digital marketing company which is based in LA (where she is from) . The owner of this company happened to be her friend, hence I found out about the vacancy. I will be honest, I wasn't 100 % sure I would be able to land the job but I was hoping that at least I would be able to do some work experience for that company. My friend knew how much this meant to me, after a long time with illness and other shit, freelancing as a content creator has given me a little bit of hope. She dreams about being a model /singer, and I was 150% supportive. I did my best to help her out with what she needed and encourage her. Since she didn't know much about SEO, content creation, marketing etc I promised to help her with those topics. Which I did. Suddenly the day before I was going to write an email and apply for the position, my 'friend' tells me that the position has been given to her. Her friend, the owner of the digital marketing company allegedly decided she wanted my former friend to run their clients pages and she had accepted. She didn't say anything about me wanting to apply or anything. She just acted as she had amnesia or some shit. I was hurt. I wanted to build up my portfolio, I don't understand why she told that from me.I kept quiet for a month or two. But when she had the nerve to ask me why I didn't keep in touch with her anyway, I lost my temper and blocked her from all my social media profiles. Since I didn't explain what she did, she tells everyone that I am envious of her. LOL In hindsight, she copied a lot from my personality. At first I didn't mind cos I just assumed she was trying to connect with me. But leading up to that incident, she became less subtle with her copy-catism. In a way, I feel that this video helped me to 'heal'from this anger, and to motivate me to keep going after my dreams as a content creator, artist and designer. Thank you once again xo
There were rumors, Kourtney and Travis were engaged before the video of the proposal came out. I believe, Kourtney has been so burned not just by the media but by her family (even though things have been mended) that she found a way to rise above it all. That way being, doing what she wants, when she wants in private....and THEN picking and choosing what she wants to share from her real life. I think it's extremely savvy, a great way to protect herself and her family and to remain in control of her life. I personally dont think there's any war between Megan and Kourtney, I think there's genuine respect there. They wouldn't have invited her to the skims campaign if there wasn't. It's completely possible Kourtney shared this advice to MGK and Megan and that's also how they handled the proposal. Private first, then they did something for social media.
Since i was a teenager, i’ve always struggled with people copying me. It was frustrating to spot friends copying what i do, things i liked, and never really understood why they did that. Now I get what it means and how to cope with that. Eye opening.
I clicked for the gossip but left with advice, feeling empowered, having a dif perspective of viewing conflict and again A FUCKTON OF VALUABLE APPLICABLE PRICELESS ADVICE. WHEW!! I’ll def have to rewatch a few times
Shallon I needed this video so much. My boyfriend's sister, after seeing me succeed in my career, while having no interest prior to what I do, suddenly was very interested and I couldn't understand why it made me pissed. Because I worked SO hard for it and someone being "oh she can do it i can do it, whatever" just pissed me off.
And then their next significant others know they put this out there and will be embarrassed…at least I would. That’s usually when couples go private with their love life.
obviously they are famous, but they are already adults, she is over 30 years old and he is the same, so I don't know, they are famous... they can have everything they want, so I give them 5 more years
I can see MGK talking to Travis and being like. “Dude give me some advice bro, like how’d you bag Kourt yoo? I gOttA loCK down mY viDeo vixen Man. oUr cHarts AlIGn tO wElL bro. wE sHoulD boTh drESS likE beetLE jUiCe bRo.”
"She was with BAG(= Brian Austin Green) douchebag, for 10 years" 😆 Shallon always makes me laugh. And thanks for bringing to my awarness the referee shirts.:D I actually kind of like Megan & Mgk as couple, but this very public & similiar proposal scenario compared to Kourtney & Travis, really makes me wonder what f is going on🤔 At least the ring is different, thank God.
Shallon, loved this. Just watched the Evil Week episode on manipulating your boss. Please do one on working a female boss who is extremely ambitious, probably narcissistic, definitely plays favorites based on her moods. Thanks!
When you’re truly spectacularly deeply in love, there isn’t comparison to other couples you just are so in your own happiness. They aren’t doing things to be edgy they are living the way they feel most authentic.
OMG I literally was calling her copycat yesterday over this and literally her whole existence. It's so true!!! She has never had an original thought in her life!
Her golden years where given to B.A.G she was in her prime back in 2007-2011 she was HOTTT ! Now she completely destroyed her natural looks with that horrible aged look she looks 55 like a soccer mom with a bunch of surgery on her face it’s sad someone so gorgeous adjusted what was not broken. She looks like she has sun in her face 24/7
@@jordanbronner3752 She was unbelievably gorgeous naturally , it’s how she got famous from transformers so quickly because she was so beautiful . I cannot believe she ever touched her natural face .. honestly she is still attractive but she just has the same face as ever other IG model now . The fact she thought her original face needed improving 😳 you are right her golden years were 2007-11 , I just personally don’t find her that outstanding anymore like she looks attractive sure but her beauty doesn’t stand out like it used to.
I can’t stand these two always making a spectacle of themselves. It is all for the attention. What ‘hell’ did these two walk through? Like what? Also, is Megan a good mom? Is she ever with her kids? Is she loving them, is she teaching them and training them and guiding them? I mean brush the kids’ hair for god sake‘s every time I see photos of them the kids look homeless. Are they going to all be a blended family living together ? They seem extremely immature and cringe. She seems so disconnected from being a mother and so consumed with acting like a wild child stuck in her teens.
Megan has been writing this engagement post since she heard about K&T's engagement. Their post has been edited to death just to ensure it has the perfect 'mean girl' but not tone.
I so agree with you on the whole copy cat situation. Megan Fox is one of my favorite celebs/actresses but I hate so much that she (IMO) is starting to look like Kim K (and I like Kim K). Like, no girl, youre so much better than all of them.
I’ve had a couple friends like this but the worst was in my late 20s. We’re still friends but I don’t hang out with her as much. It’s hard bc I genuinely like her and am a trusting person, so I forget (for example) I should probably not introduce her to all of my friends or tell her all the details of my life. It’s not flattering when someone copies your existence (style, interests, hobbies, friends, brand of cigs you smoke, etc) it’s actually annoying asf! Like they are so unoriginal and have no identity. It makes you wonder whose identity they copied to attract you in the first place. 🤔🤷♀️
Kourtney and Travis just seem more mature about their relationship. As in they know what they want and have been single for quite amount of time. You can can see how much they love each other. Kourtney is so adorable and she deserves to have a man that’s loves her as much as Travis does. Megan is in competition w herself. She won’t even let MGK work w any other women in his video’s, She seems very insecure. She’s definitely copying kourtney. Her proposal seem absolutely stayed. She’s not a very good actress. I’ve had many copy cats, I went to a wedding w the exact same decor as mine. Girls trying to copy my edgy style because I’m creative and make jewelry listen to metal. Some people just don’t have any style personality or character. It doesn’t bother me anymore. They hate you deep inside but wanna be you so bad.
I love your videos so much...they're always making me realize how weak and vulnerable I used to be and that I let people walk all over me...gosh Shallon, you are such a gem. Thank you.
Oh, the copycats. They make me want to be able to control time. I can’t be the bigger person and have patience to push them in another direction unless I punch them in the face and then go back in time. 😂 I had a “friend” like that and it sucks. I love encouraging my friends and praising them for their accomplishments so of course I’d expect the same in return. It just sucks when you’ve worked hard for something and someone randomly decides to take that from you..and what’s worse is the way a lot of them react if you call them out 😂
This video triggered me at 9 am 🤣 the problem is that people copy you and then claim it as their own ! From personality to style , people take something from you and act like they’re the ones who came out with the idea 🤦🏻♀️
I don't have a problem with friends copying.... Its OK for me but a friend who degrades or hinders me for what I really wanted to do is the end of the line for me.
Yeh same until it gets to the point when I can tell that they're actually trying to be me. Listening to my music, buying the same clothes, trying to talk to the same guys, picking up on my interests. And that's when it gets creepy and imma run tf away lol. The worst is the girls who copy u but then act like ur the one copying and point out that u guys are wearing the same thing in front of other people like ew why do I wear the same stuff. That drives me insane
I had a friend like this. We met in middle school and she would go after my bf/crushes (talking on the phone in the name of helping, flirting) and I stayed loyal despite a contrary gut instinct. Fast forward 20 years later and I was going thru major life changes. She laughed about my journey and was super nasty. People like this do store things up to try and hurt you when you are down and they don’t remember your kindness. Be real with yourself you didn’t have boundaries and knew this person would never reciprocate
Omg I have a similar situation where I have a dream to be an author, I have a bunch of stories planned and writing anything in general just is my thing. I’ve been telling my friend for years that my ultimate dream job is to translate books and write my own at the same time. And later she mentioned that she’ll be an author - although she always said she’s meant to be a teacher. It shocked me because it felt like it came out of nowhere, but it didn’t feel fake though. One day we talked and I mentioned that I’ve always said I was gonna be a writer and she acted as if she heard it for the very first time. And now she’s won some kind of competition and her dumb story is getting published, she’s created a new “author” ig account and I’m so jealous and mad because I’ve literally been getting ready to do that, planning post concepts for months now, but because I’ve never told anyone, I feel like I’m somehow stealing her identity although it’s always been a huge part of who I am. What the fuck do I do, anyone?🤦🏼♀️
I was extremely unpopulair in highschool (even got bullied) and as a result I'm very insecure, but there are a couple of things I actually like about myself and think are cool. However, one of my best friends, who is much more beatiful and got much more attention from boys, but was weirdly also unpopular and is even more insecure than me sometimes, used to copy me a lot for a while (it's gotten better over time but sometimes I still spot a caption or smth) and it still angers me so much because it just feels as though someone is steeling the only good/cool/fun thing about me, like stealing from the poor if you will. Like why won't you let me have the only cool things I have? And then she would always say I didn't own this or that. But then again I know how insecure she is and it's not so extreme anymore
What about the friend- the work friend, who tells everyone about your business.😟 They think it’s harmless information… but the fact that they’re talking when I didn’t start the conversation myself. It’s annoying.
Your "twin-flame" inst necessarily somebody you should be with or marry, just like a soulmate it can be anyone in your life you are in relationship with
I really like this idea of an overcorrection phase. I do think it's hard for someone to identify when they are actually in one though. But agree that she probably feels like she missed out which is so unfortunate :/ she is wayyyy too hot to settle for someone like BAG, or MGK for that matter...
I actually think the Kourtney/Travis relationship was a copycat of MGK/Megan..but now yeah it’s possible that K/T getting engaged gave the green light to or at least sped up MGK/Megan getting engaged..just my way scientific analytical hypothesis 😂😂 hope it works out but I’ve been let down so many times before by famous/celebrity couples, it goes way back and started with Brangelina lol that the faith I have in them is slim to none for my own sake lol (I don’t keep major tabs on all of it but Ben and Jennifer Garner come to mind kind of as the last straw for me like f/r lol)
So I completely agree with this whole analysis and I love it! However I recently watched their GQ couples quizz video and I do have to say, they seemed to really know each other well / be comfortable with each other / be their authentic selves around each other. They also talked about more normal stuff like the shows that they watch, etc. I think they’re just putting on a show to seek edgy and cool tbh but it’s probably mostly just show 😂 what do y’all think?
I feel sometimes like Megan Fox, is trying to be the next Angelina Jolie. Because she was the hot teen, cool girl, in Transformers...and then married so young and popped out 3 kids at her early 20's, and didn't have time to figure out who she is. Oh, there you are, You just mentioned the blood and Angelina thing!
@@shallonlester he's not the guy girls marry but the guy that takes you to the other relationship all clean of the toxicity from the previous relationship she's the one to have fun with and fuck a big dick and settle with someone else later
Thank you so much for this! The over-correction-learning-new-data thing really saved me ass! 🤣 I’m putting so much pressure on myself to get engaged and have a family when I don’t even want that quite yet, but I see everyone on social media getting engaged etc. I’m just going to school for the first time since being out of high school for 7 years, and I feel so far behind in my life arena. But this video made me feel so much more at ease with myself! ❤️
2 things: 1. mgk and megan feel like the more authentic couple. Idk what it is about kourt and travis that I just can't. 2. copy cat story: told a work friend the idea I had for our teams team building event. when we were in the meeting he cut me off and presented my idea as his. plus side I didn't tell him EVERYTHING, so after he was done presenting my idea I interjected with "I was also thinking etc etc etc." He didn't look amused lol
Marriage seems to ruin everything. They are better off NOT getting married and still being the couple we admire. Now you look like theyre trying to compete bc everyone is comparing them. They let the “fans” get in the middle of their relationship so 95% it won’t last
Ahhh was waiting for this. Something just doesn't seem right here. I want it to be real but the video of it, how it's edited, and how it just seemed very rehearsed. Also the matching footlocker shirts are just weird.
Maybe he wasn't even proposing he was just kneeling to see if her size 6.5 Jordans fit?
@@shallonlester hahahaha!
@@shallonlester 🤣 👌
was I the only one who for a split of a second thought it was Kim and Pete?? LOL
@@emkrabs SO TRU AHH yeh the fact that they posted the video of it on multiple platforms with the long captions jus rlly shows how hard they're trying to make their engagement the thing of the year.... Like we don't care. Go be happy by y'all selves
When it comes to Megan's current behaviour, context is key. Megan met her ex husband, Brian Austin Green, when she was 18 and he was 31. She was a teenager (probably naive and gullible) and he was very much an adult who had the opportunity to date multiple women and enjoy his 20s. Sadly she spent her entire 20s with a man more than a decade older than her and with 3 children. Megan is now rebelling and trying to capitalize on what she may have thought she missed out on when she was lockdown by Brian. She is very much acting like a teenager in love who is carefree.
Really good point. It's like she's stuck at 18.
@@shallonlester I truly think she's reliving her youth not that she's not young now but you know what I mean )
Actually, I can ensure you that Brian was extremely abusive with her and left her with deep traumas. The way she proceeded to have multiple surgeries when she was already outstanding (he was probably calling her ugly or making her feel like such by flirting with other women to assert power over her). From interviews I have watched with both of them he was the one in charge and I can sense him as a manipulative, emotional, nervous, and jealous of her in every sense. He had 0 zero respect for her. Also, she was the one pursuing him in the beginning of their relationship. That man destroyed her and humiliated her but most people Don't see that because she never showed it. This is revenge 100% from her part. And very well deserved I might say
@@lolitapop8193 can you please send me links or videos. I'd love to look more into this as I've only ever heard that he persued her
@@lolitapop8193 one rule in life is never EVER pursue a man. He will think he’s the prize.
The "edgiest" thing Megan could have done here--was to say no. Marriage is the kiss of death for a hot and heavy, immature couple like them.
They have tattoos of each other. You can’t get more rookie than that.
@@olivialeigh5359 Oh yeah. That is the worst decision of all!😂
!!!!! That's SO true! Nothing is less sexy than planning a wedding and merging finances🥴 Why not just be...together?
Yes!!!
Well said.
This relationship feels like addict behavior. They probably roll on ecstasy together all the time or something.
I got the same vibe
The word is they're on coke but it's hear say. They probably do a few different things. She said she got him off illegal substances but it looks like she's higher than he is in the pictures especially the ones she's straight faced.
Yep! If you’ve been around people who do uppers you would know that Megan was clearly on it at the VMAs (onstage and during interviews). Molly is called the “love drug” for a reason, it fries your brain too.
Honestly shes trying to hard, and is very tacky. Wearing basically nothing is not a good example for her kids - especially broadcasting it on social media, and wtf is with this blood thing??😂😂 yikes! But they are happy together it seems like. Thats what matters i guess.
@@marniee.d.5511 Yup. The things she posts are very reminiscent of how folks write when they are doing speed or molly. MGK is used to both so he's handling it better, hence we don't see such extreme (and cringe) declarations from him. I would have a very hard time believing they are clean and sober and high exclusively off of "karma".
I realized why I love shallon so much. When I was a teenager I LOVED gossip mags but I never loved reading (I’m a stem freak). Shallon is like an audible gossip mag. It’s literally everything I never realized I wanted
FACTSS! So true
Pls don't associate your lack of interest in reading with being in stem 🥴
😃👍🏽
I sort of love shallon too. First vid bk after all the scandles...yes shallon says stuff i dont agree with, but we have enough brain cells to think critically. She has some thing very special to offer. Shes a 2004 soroity chick, the tacky bit of the shop that sells pink shit for women like pink hardware. who has vaulable insight
I noticed how similar Megan is trying to be to Angelina Jolie too. Back when she was in her blood drinking, tattooed, leather pants wearing phase. Everyone compared them when Megan first became popular and I think she's trying to be the "new" version. Cos she doesn't have her own identity since her divorce maybe.
Totally! I thought about it too. It feels so forced with Megan though, with Angelina it was simply who she was at the time. Feels like Megan is playing a character
She’s always tried to be Angelina :( but yeah it seems like even more so after her divorce
Angelina is the biggest superstar. Megan is a flop actress 😂😂
Pamela and Angelina
I think her need to be Angelina makes her ignore the fact that she's got the "ick" for MGK.
I’m glad you talked about them chasing the rush and all the intensity. My first thought was “What will she do when they are a regular married couple raising kids and the excitement of dating dies down?” Like how could they possibly keep all of that wild intensity up for the long haul? I don’t know just a thought. I’m sure they do really love each other and wish them well.
That's a really good question. What will happen when there's a standoff over folding the laundry or squabbles about who forgot the GoGurt in the kids lunches. At some point you have to stop boning and start...living life.
The same she did with brian having an open relationship until she find and fall in love for the next young guy
I wonder how she manages to find time for all of this even now, because she already has children. You have to literally ignore your children to be able to have a relationship like that. You need time for that.
add some infidelity for spice
The fact that these two publicly video taped their proposal and then posted it on Instagram and TikTok was very bizarre and very cringe to the point where it’s almost as if these two are trying too hard to show off their relationship in public. I was actually a huge fan of MGK even going back to 2009 and what a lot of people don’t know is he had very few serious relationships and he would never publicly show off his woman and he openly admitted in very old interviews that he would cheat and would never stick with one woman, and I found it interesting reading in a recent interview of his that he actually had a poster of Megan on his wall growing up and it seems as if he’s showing her off in particular because she’s “Megan Fox” being the fact that she is a very desirable woman that a lot of men would want to be with because of her exotic beauty. I never want to shit on couples who are happy about they’re love but they have become over the top and irritating. That should have been kept as a private moment. And being of fan of his, he always struck me as someone that was super private and didn’t want to get involved in PR media type crap. It’s been interesting to observe.
Such fantastic insight. Truly. Thanks for sharing.
I’m a bit older than most women here, so from my timeline, it is very reminiscent of Ben and Jenn. And now that they’re back together, people are romanticizing their relationship, trying to in turn reminisce on their own lives back in the early 2000’s, instead of taking it at face value. Two celebs dating - two celebs with a dramatic past. Two celebs who have joined lives again either out of love or for publicity. Only time will tell.
Yes and did you read the 1 Interview mgk and megs did at the D&G event. The journo says what do you think about all the hype on social media regarding your engagement. Meg says & I quote "I dont know, I dont do social media,l"
Hmmm yeah ok MF 🙄
Megan enforcing the whole concept of “twinflame” relationships is soo dangerous and toxic.
Enforcing is a good word for it, reminds me of how she very pointedly introduced him as her future baby daddy at an award show - long before the engagement
It does seem to come from a need for an off the charts intense passionate romance that was probably missing in her marriage to Bag.
Real ‘Twin flames’ (although it’s just a dumb label) know they’re soulmates/ regular couple. Twin flames run away from each other usually within weeks on meeting and it’s very rare they have a romantic commitment. The relationship causes a dark night of the soul / ego death. Extremely painful…It’s not A Disney romance likes she’s portraying. The purpose is ascension, not a relationship.
Twin flame relationships are toxic. That's what people don't realize. They are your mirror image, the opposite of you.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion recently that the whole concept of TF is new age BS and brain poison, to top it off.
I really feel like Megan is trying to keep up with mgk’s intense lifestyle, but secretly wants to settle down. It’s hard to imagine mgk settling down for a long period of time.
I think the whole twinflame thing is an unconscious attempt on her part to tie him down and make sure he's kept in line by the "eternal love that requires sacrifices"
Ooooo! Ok I'm gonna keep that little trick in my back pocket for my next fuckboy 😂
I think he seems very ready. Shes the one mythologising this, he just seems head over heels
@@islabee94 I feel like he quickly latched on to that theory as something that would help him out of his addictions and destructive behaviour. But she's the one forcing it on him I agree
I don’t know why, but I feel he’s more chill (and geeky) than he pretends to be 🤷🏻♀️
I didn't know Megan and Kourtney were best friends. I thought they hang out only because of their boyfriends
Kourtney & Megan & Travis & Mgk…..all fuck each other
Also kourtney knew Travis for like a decade as a friend, so her rushed engagement isn’t that wild. These two just are super in love but they are not going to be compatible. This will end around the 3-4 year mark.
Am i the only one thinking this is a bit of a publicity stunt? Megan became more relevant the day she started dating him, MGK was kind of a joke before he started dating her and together they became the newest most talked about couple
I dont know they act like a bunch of teenagers who just got a boyfriend/girlfriend for the first time so they have to make out in front of everyone to make sure everyone knows they FINALLY have someone...not to mention they have to do weird shit because they believe it makes their relationship "cool" and "edgy" when in reality it makes them seem desperate for people to notice them..but thats my opinion 🤣🤣💯
yes, that's a good point, there's a huge element of desperation that you get when people are THIS showy. Like jesus how miserable were you single? And why?? Maybe just be alone. Go on a yoga retreat. Remodel your bathroom. Just relax.
"A bad ayahuasca trip doesnt count as hell" PREACH
I live for your side commentary when reading celeb’s captions.
I feel kind of sad looking at Megan's Instagram before MGK because she was doing charitable work and bringing awareness to different important causes and looked slightly more natural and now everything is just her and him. Everything got overshadowed.
Absolutely ! Pre MGK she was working on projects I think something to do with geology like a documentary , she spoke about her kids , motherhood , spoke up for how Hollywood treated her , doing charity etc and I would find her so admirable . It’s why people spoke about her so highly and talked about how she deserved better from Hollywood and was a victim of misogyny and how she became relevant again because we all thought she was cool . Now she literally has no personality outside of MGK and their relationship.. I’m all for women having fun despite any age or if they are married with kids etc but she has no personality now and is just trying so hard so be edgy and sexy when she was way sexier just being herself how she was before with an actual personality .. and the whole trying to be edgy thing is straight out of a 2014 tumblr fanfic it’s just straight up cringey 😬
She's caught up in tge excitement of MGK. The sex must be out there.
Midlife crisis sums it up.
Yes! She was low key and likeable. I admired her for being committed to bag and her kids. I really liked some of the stuff she was starting to do like that history thing. And then now she is going full blown sex pot and it all seems like she's trying too hard. Idk, it was a 180 and it seems unhealthy.
@@samanthamartellaro6877 yes she has completely disregarded the history thing and seems have nothing in her life except MGK and the sex they have .. it seems very unhealthy 😬
Feel like she is a different person she used to be so cool and low-key .
This is not love; this is lust.
yes, they seem infatuated and obsessed with eachother. maybe her previous relationship became so stale and now she mistakes these new intense feelings for grander love…
I can't tell you how grateful I am that social media wasn't around when I was younger! I didn't get on social media until I was in my early thirties and I still look back at posts and cringe. I would be hating life if I had been posting in my teens and twenties
Copycat can also show up as a friend attaching themselves to you. I’ve never been popular in the slightest but I’ve had friends in the past overcompensate for characteristics or lack of likability by attaching themselves to me in an overzealous way. “Oh she’s my bestest best friend! We’re a package deal.” It’s like no babe. Get your own personality. They never lasted too long after I noticed.
Facts!
The worst is when they have to announce, "you're like my sister!" or "we're family!"
We are not family - I would not take a bullet for you nor am I interested in doing that. Your admiration is edging on Single White Female and you need to get therapy.
@@Pomegranite21 couldn’t have said it better 👏 👏👏
Justice for Shallon's Ralph Lauren gown, MGK and Travis Barker stop copying our queen.
SOMEONE START A PETITION
Here’s my theory: I think The Kardashian’s copied Megan. I think she made it cool to date tattooed dirty band guys. Now the Kardashian’s are “edgy” and getting the desperate attention they desire so desperately. Kourtney jumped on board w/Travis and now Kim copies w/Pete.
Also Shallon love your imitation of Pete 😂
The Kardashians seen how much attention they were getting. She’s hot with a rocker. So they thought I’m going to try this. It looks like fun and a ton of attention. Kim and Pete will not last. I don’t think Meghan is copying Courtney, I think Courtney is copying Megan with dressing.Yes the proposal is similar. I’d like to think that was an accident and those two weren’t thinking. Because I don’t think they are trying to copy Kravis.
Also Meghan does not post very often to social media. Courtneys on that all the time.
I just got engaged and as much as I hate to admit it because I wish women could really support women, the majority truly don’t. I have a friend that has been with her baby daddy for 8 years and she wants to get married but he hasn’t asked her and I feel like she’s salty that I got engaged after 11 months with my fiancé (now a year and a month) also my aunt and two cousins. It’s crazy how you’ll realize how certain women in your life really feel once you are going through an amazing time in your life. Even women in the family. I hate copy cats. Can’t stand them. Be better than me. Do better than me but don’t try to be a better me. Weirdo behavior
This is very true! My friend was in a relationship and she knew deep down the guy was never going to marry her and whenever she would see someone on fb getting married it was all eye rolls and snark.
@@fabfemme800 so sad. But as shallon would say “you can’t change anybody. You can only change yourself. These women have the power to change their lives and choose not to. What they do choose to do is hate on anyone that isn’t afraid to go after what they want. And this comes with everything. The ring, the wedding the marriage but also: a degree, a new career, new car ect.
"Be better than me. Do better than me but don’t try to be a better me." SO well put.
@@worldlit1146 thank you! Meant it too! Women who truly support women don’t mind others doing better than her
I got engaged last year as well (congrats to you btw!) and I am already seeing some of my friends and family’s true colors showing though as well. It’s weird how weddings and engagements being out so much jealousy and weirdness from people you thought would be over the moon for you.
One of the funniest things is she insists they are “Twin Flames.” Give me a break. I’m very into reading about Twin Flames and soulmates. Twin Flames are real, but it’s rare for them to enter a union. When they actually do, it’s HIGHLY spiritual and devoid of ego. These two have egos the size of Texas. Keep dreaming, Megan.
My thoughts exactly!
Agreed with all of this. I have a lot of copycat friends around me, but the thing is, it's "irrational" and "illogical" when I do it, but somehow they do it sooner than later, and those actions are absolutely normal if they are the ones who do it.
The world is a screwed up place with quite the number of egoists.
Pre MGK Megan actually had a personality she was doing a geology documentary I think , spoke about motherhood and spoke up for the misogyny she faced in Hollywood and did charity work etc and was really low-key about her private life and life in general which is why ( even though she is gorgeous anyway ) she appeared even more sexy as she was mysterious .. now she has no personality outside of MGK and talks about nothing except him . They are so cringey they act like high school couple out of a 2014 fanfic on tumblr written by a twilight fan .
She is obviously still physically beautiful but she just doesn’t have that same mysterious beauty to me now it all just seems like she is trying too hard to be edgy . The “drank each others blood “thing was nauseating 🤢
I don’t think they will last that long and I think when they eventually do break up it will hit her very hard as she has formulated her whole personality around being MGKs girlfriend .. what will she have when the relationship is over ? Plus she didn’t even divorce from BAG who she was with for over a decade THAT long ago .. it’s far too soon to be married again 😳
If someone is able to steal your employees, it's probably better to reflect on what your copy cat is offering- good people don't leave a good workplace for no reason. Is it better pay? Is it better working conditions? A more positive workplace? You can't get better without assessing your weaknesses, and maybe the copycat is helpful in helping you find your weakness.
Perhaps 🤔 But I've worked in a salon where the stylists were poached from another business, much like the scenario Shallon gave, with one employee leaving to start her own salon and taking a few other stylists with her.
Let's just say the grass isn't always as green on the other side as it was promised to be. And when it wasn't, those who came with her were regretful and without much recourse as they couldn't return to their former place of employment, obv. Their former "friend"-coworker turned out to be a mega-bitchy boss and there was a general malaise and low morale in the "new" workplace. I got out myself as fast as I could.
Hi Shallon! It's like you read our minds when we are going through it. I never realized how much of a presence I had until someone started copying me. Wanted my man, started to try to act like me, talk like me.... She ended up stabbing me in the back. I never realized how naive I was but peacefully I let them go. It is amazing to hear this because it gives me a sense of peace and understanding. Many of us go through it and I am glad I am not the only one because I was being delusional or crazy but hey Shallonators are all in the same boart
I dont understand why she said they went through hell? Did they lose a child? Was there a war i dont know about? Did their house burn down? If they went through hell in their first year of dating while being rich and succesful - maybe dont get married. Get a therapist
I think his aunt and his dad passed recently
Unfortunately people have kids to try and patch up relationships which never works (lead singer of Image Dragons is a prime example) and then they have these poor kids who have to grow up in the middle of that mess.
I’m sure they love the children, but it’s just such a bad situation for a family.
I have a friend who literally started dressing like me, acting like me, my personality, the way I speak and everything. She ALMOST got the same car as me. I cut her off and acted like I was going through stuff and wanted to protect my energy and my identity for that matter. One day I told her why I really stopped being around her and she didn’t even apologize and was kinda in-denial about it all. It was like, “oh well sorry if I come off that way but I wasn’t trying to?” Like really…. really…. she even asked me where I got my jewelry from and said, and I quote, “where did you get your rings? I want to wear a bunch of rings too.” It’s just annoying when you spend so much time individualizing yourself and being genuine and somebody comes along and tries to make it theirs.
I had a friend just like this & several more but my first friend like this - in highschool I had been wanting a at the time a brand new Mitsubishi eclipse 06 , black & had been obsessing over it for a year . & Everybody knew I was going to be getting it during spring break(for my senior year) so we get back to school & day 1 of back at school on spring break = she shows up with a black , Mitsubishi eclipse except she couldn't afford a brand new one & got a 2002 model.. 🤯 luckily they looked different bc the body style changed in 2006. But it was so cringe & I seriously couldn't believe my best friend did that & didn't tell anyone until also showing up back from spring break w the exact same car except old. Idk why she'd even want to embarrass herself like that. But guess she just couldn't stand not copying me on something. Smh
@@WarmongerYT 🤦🏻♀️smhhhhh of course they did!
Girl same i had a friend from ukraine and she had been adopted into the united states she had a hard up bringing was abused and all that. And we became friends she copied my makeup my hair my voice what music i liked and i didnt mind at first then she tried sabotaging relationships with guys i had and like made lies about me and made me look bad when i was showering and they were all in my room.... And she started taking care of my dog so much my sog started liking her moree and she felt power in that. She lived with me and one time i was sleeping and slept all day i was exauhsted she fucking cleaned my entire room and rearranged it how she wants and she just ended up being fucking evil. It was crazy!
True 💯
100% super annoying . These people are like leeches
I love the color scheme, makeup and hair! The color orange looks so good on you. I’ve noticed orange looks so good on blondes. I’m jealous! I remember when a popular girl showed up to prom in a long orange dress and I think I was bamboozled (a verb you often say).
Lol Megan's like :
"I just learnt what frenetic means, that is SOOO us budda."
ahahahahahah
Lol she does seem like the type. Learn a new word and try to use it in every sentence
Great video Shallon! And thank you so much for addressing the whole copycat thing-it’s such a touchy subject, went through it in school, thought all that was over, then its happened again here n there in adulthood and it’s so much harder to navigate and complicated by then! Not enough talk on this subject esp for adulthood!
It's one of those things society especially gaslights you about. Oh you should be FLATTERED. Flattered someone is stealing my intellectual property, whether that's style or content or ideas? Why is that flattering? Are carjackers flattering? Are bank robbers? I'm tired of acting like it's 🥰cute🥰 when someone stands on the shoulders of giants and calls themselves tall.
@@shallonlester Yeah! It’s like you’re supposed to take it lightly but sometimes it can lead to actual consequences and that’s just not talked about 💯!
Conspiracy theory: what if MGK told Travis he wanted to propose, so Travis did it first because he wanted to do it as well but didn't want to look like the copycat?
However something about that proposal didn't feel natural, the irony is that Megan is an actress yet looks so ...
What if Kris heard about MGK's plans and pressured Travis to do it first. Kris strikes again.
Yeah, it looks reahearsed and a lot of bad acting. Travis proporsal was beautiful done and well managed.
It would he funny! But MGK has already said that he was inspired by Travis to do the same lol
@@lizavela546 I wonder if she and MGK will just be engaged forever...that or I could see them getting married in 2 months.
That’s because she’s not a good actress 😂❤️
This was such a great topic! Thanks so much for delving into it. My best friend in high school was always competitive but when we were in college it got to the point where she had to one-up every single thing I said. Literally every sentence I said would be replied to “yeah well, I DID THIS.” Eventually I just had to realize it was time to move on. Love her to death to this day, but I needed to move on and find healthier relationships with people who weren’t trying to copycat and outdo me. It IS better to just distance without confrontation. You hit the nail on the head **as usual.**
I’ve dealt with friends like this. The best thing to do is make yourself busy and be distant with them. You don’t even owe them an explanation either. Insecure friends especially jealous friends aren’t your friends. You can have compassion but you don’t need them in your life
"We drank each other's blood" what the hell!? 😂
As cringe as the whole announcement was, I think this part was a self-referential joke to stir up shit in the comments - wouldn't put it past Megan to do so :)
Yeah I agree, like she's making fun of how bizarre they are but you're right, kinda think they actually did it!
Thank you for this video, Shallon. My former online bestie knew that I wanted to apply as a social media manager/content creator for a digital marketing company which is based in LA (where she is from) . The owner of this company happened to be her friend, hence I found out about the vacancy. I will be honest, I wasn't 100 % sure I would be able to land the job but I was hoping that at least I would be able to do some work experience for that company. My friend knew how much this meant to me, after a long time with illness and other shit, freelancing as a content creator has given me a little bit of hope.
She dreams about being a model /singer, and I was 150% supportive. I did my best to help her out with what she needed and encourage her. Since she didn't know much about SEO, content creation, marketing etc I promised to help her with those topics.
Which I did.
Suddenly the day before I was going to write an email and apply for the position, my 'friend' tells me that the position has been given to her. Her friend, the owner of the digital marketing company allegedly decided she wanted my former friend to run their clients pages and she had accepted.
She didn't say anything about me wanting to apply or anything. She just acted as she had amnesia or some shit. I was hurt.
I wanted to build up my portfolio, I don't understand why she told that from me.I kept quiet for a month or two. But when she had the nerve to ask me why I didn't keep in touch with her anyway, I lost my temper and blocked her from all my social media profiles. Since I didn't explain what she did, she tells everyone that I am envious of her. LOL
In hindsight, she copied a lot from my personality. At first I didn't mind cos I just assumed she was trying to connect with me.
But leading up to that incident, she became less subtle with her copy-catism.
In a way, I feel that this video helped me to 'heal'from this anger, and to motivate me to keep going after my dreams as a content creator, artist and designer.
Thank you once again xo
There were rumors, Kourtney and Travis were engaged before the video of the proposal came out. I believe, Kourtney has been so burned not just by the media but by her family (even though things have been mended) that she found a way to rise above it all. That way being, doing what she wants, when she wants in private....and THEN picking and choosing what she wants to share from her real life. I think it's extremely savvy, a great way to protect herself and her family and to remain in control of her life. I personally dont think there's any war between Megan and Kourtney, I think there's genuine respect there. They wouldn't have invited her to the skims campaign if there wasn't. It's completely possible Kourtney shared this advice to MGK and Megan and that's also how they handled the proposal. Private first, then they did something for social media.
but! great advice about friends who can be copycats....all true and completely relatable situations said.
Since i was a teenager, i’ve always struggled with people copying me. It was frustrating to spot friends copying what i do, things i liked, and never really understood why they did that. Now I get what it means and how to cope with that. Eye opening.
Shallon never missed a moment!! When the news hit, all I could think about is when will shallon’s video come out 🤔😉?
I clicked for the gossip but left with advice, feeling empowered, having a dif perspective of viewing conflict and again A FUCKTON OF VALUABLE APPLICABLE PRICELESS ADVICE. WHEW!! I’ll def have to rewatch a few times
They are not in love they are in the golden period...twin flames is the talk of a narcissist relationship. HG TUDOR on Twins Flames.
Shallon I needed this video so much. My boyfriend's sister, after seeing me succeed in my career, while having no interest prior to what I do, suddenly was very interested and I couldn't understand why it made me pissed. Because I worked SO hard for it and someone being "oh she can do it i can do it, whatever" just pissed me off.
Maybe she was genuinely interested. I wouldn't start beef with your Bf's sister. Family is forever. Your bf might resent your anger at his sister.
Same! Lol it would piss me off too but everyone would tell me the imitation flattery thing but honestly it can be really irritating
I don’t think they’ll last. My guess would be they don’t even end up getting married, but if they do it won’t last long
And then their next significant others know they put this out there and will be embarrassed…at least I would. That’s usually when couples go private with their love life.
obviously they are famous, but they are already adults, she is over 30 years old and he is the same, so I don't know, they are famous... they can have everything they want, so I give them 5 more years
I can see MGK talking to Travis and being like. “Dude give me some advice bro, like how’d you bag Kourt yoo? I gOttA loCK down mY viDeo vixen Man. oUr cHarts AlIGn tO wElL bro. wE sHoulD boTh drESS likE beetLE jUiCe bRo.”
THANK YOU for the bride wars love!! one of my favorite movies ever
"you've been eating butter...from different lands?" 😂😂
@@shallonlester so many quotable moments 😂😂
"She was with BAG(= Brian Austin Green) douchebag, for 10 years" 😆 Shallon always makes me laugh. And thanks for bringing to my awarness the referee shirts.:D
I actually kind of like Megan & Mgk as couple, but this very public & similiar proposal scenario compared to Kourtney & Travis, really makes me wonder what f is going on🤔
At least the ring is different, thank God.
I love what you said about relationship chronology not being the most important thing in a relationship and not equating to happiness
Shallon, loved this. Just watched the Evil Week episode on manipulating your boss. Please do one on working a female boss who is extremely ambitious, probably narcissistic, definitely plays favorites based on her moods. Thanks!
Yesss
Yes!!
When you’re truly spectacularly deeply in love, there isn’t comparison to other couples you just are so in your own happiness.
They aren’t doing things to be edgy they are living the way they feel most authentic.
OMG I literally was calling her copycat yesterday over this and literally her whole existence. It's so true!!! She has never had an original thought in her life!
Megan has always been a bad copy of Angelina Jolie.
@@arianaraquel1958 absolutely
Her golden years where given to B.A.G she was in her prime back in 2007-2011 she was HOTTT ! Now she completely destroyed her natural looks with that horrible aged look she looks 55 like a soccer mom with a bunch of surgery on her face it’s sad someone so gorgeous adjusted what was not broken. She looks like she has sun in her face 24/7
@@jordanbronner3752 She was unbelievably gorgeous naturally , it’s how she got famous from transformers so quickly because she was so beautiful . I cannot believe she ever touched her natural face .. honestly she is still attractive but she just has the same face as ever other IG model now . The fact she thought her original face needed improving 😳 you are right her golden years were 2007-11 , I just personally don’t find her that outstanding anymore like she looks attractive sure but her beauty doesn’t stand out like it used to.
@@leahjenner6765 i don’t think she had surgery on her face thats the way how she does her make up and she make her eyebrows bigger
I can’t stand these two always making a spectacle of themselves. It is all for the attention. What ‘hell’ did these two walk through? Like what? Also, is Megan a good mom? Is she ever with her kids? Is she loving them, is she teaching them and training them and guiding them? I mean brush the kids’ hair for god sake‘s every time I see photos of them the kids look homeless. Are they going to all be a blended family living together ? They seem extremely immature and cringe. She seems so disconnected from being a mother and so consumed with acting like a wild child stuck in her teens.
Megan has been writing this engagement post since she heard about K&T's engagement. Their post has been edited to death just to ensure it has the perfect 'mean girl' but not tone.
I so agree with you on the whole copy cat situation. Megan Fox is one of my favorite celebs/actresses but I hate so much that she (IMO) is starting to look like Kim K (and I like Kim K). Like, no girl, youre so much better than all of them.
I’ve had a couple friends like this but the worst was in my late 20s. We’re still friends but I don’t hang out with her as much. It’s hard bc I genuinely like her and am a trusting person, so I forget (for example) I should probably not introduce her to all of my friends or tell her all the details of my life. It’s not flattering when someone copies your existence (style, interests, hobbies, friends, brand of cigs you smoke, etc) it’s actually annoying asf! Like they are so unoriginal and have no identity. It makes you wonder whose identity they copied to attract you in the first place. 🤔🤷♀️
Kourtney and Travis just seem more mature about their relationship. As in they know what they want and have been single for quite amount of time. You can can see how much they love each other. Kourtney is so adorable and she deserves to have a man that’s loves her as much as Travis does. Megan is in competition w herself. She won’t even let MGK work w any other women in his video’s, She seems very insecure. She’s definitely copying kourtney. Her proposal seem absolutely stayed. She’s not a very good actress. I’ve had many copy cats, I went to a wedding w the exact same decor as mine. Girls trying to copy my edgy style because I’m creative and make jewelry listen to metal. Some people just don’t have any style personality or character. It doesn’t bother me anymore. They hate you deep inside but wanna be you so bad.
I'm loving how the papers are calling it an 'intimate' proposal yet here they are recording it for the world to meme.
I would like an entire video of you impersonating Pete Davidson’s voice. It always makes me laugh so hard.
I love your videos so much...they're always making me realize how weak and vulnerable I used to be and that I let people walk all over me...gosh Shallon, you are such a gem. Thank you.
Oh, the copycats. They make me want to be able to control time. I can’t be the bigger person and have patience to push them in another direction unless I punch them in the face and then go back in time. 😂 I had a “friend” like that and it sucks. I love encouraging my friends and praising them for their accomplishments so of course I’d expect the same in return. It just sucks when you’ve worked hard for something and someone randomly decides to take that from you..and what’s worse is the way a lot of them react if you call them out 😂
This video triggered me at 9 am 🤣 the problem is that people copy you and then claim it as their own ! From personality to style , people take something from you and act like they’re the ones who came out with the idea 🤦🏻♀️
Another fake love....
I’ve been waiting for a shallon upload today! Ugh I so needed to hear anything from you.
I totally agree she probably light weight regrets giving her 20s to BAG.
I don't have a problem with friends copying.... Its OK for me but a friend who degrades or hinders me for what I really wanted to do is the end of the line for me.
Yeh same until it gets to the point when I can tell that they're actually trying to be me. Listening to my music, buying the same clothes, trying to talk to the same guys, picking up on my interests. And that's when it gets creepy and imma run tf away lol. The worst is the girls who copy u but then act like ur the one copying and point out that u guys are wearing the same thing in front of other people like ew why do I wear the same stuff. That drives me insane
@@no_ononono3074 well if that's the case I am not gonna call that person a friend hahahahaha ❤️❤️❤️
I had a friend like this. We met in middle school and she would go after my bf/crushes (talking on the phone in the name of helping, flirting) and I stayed loyal despite a contrary gut instinct. Fast forward 20 years later and I was going thru major life changes. She laughed about my journey and was super nasty. People like this do store things up to try and hurt you when you are down and they don’t remember your kindness. Be real with yourself you didn’t have boundaries and knew this person would never reciprocate
"She seems like a really good mom" 🙄 hmmm no.
where are her kids? is she raising them? serious question
Omg I have a similar situation where I have a dream to be an author, I have a bunch of stories planned and writing anything in general just is my thing. I’ve been telling my friend for years that my ultimate dream job is to translate books and write my own at the same time. And later she mentioned that she’ll be an author - although she always said she’s meant to be a teacher. It shocked me because it felt like it came out of nowhere, but it didn’t feel fake though. One day we talked and I mentioned that I’ve always said I was gonna be a writer and she acted as if she heard it for the very first time. And now she’s won some kind of competition and her dumb story is getting published, she’s created a new “author” ig account and I’m so jealous and mad because I’ve literally been getting ready to do that, planning post concepts for months now, but because I’ve never told anyone, I feel like I’m somehow stealing her identity although it’s always been a huge part of who I am. What the fuck do I do, anyone?🤦🏼♀️
Just do what you love and what's right, may be, limit contact with her, mind needs peace in order to tap into your creativity.
I was extremely unpopulair in highschool (even got bullied) and as a result I'm very insecure, but there are a couple of things I actually like about myself and think are cool. However, one of my best friends, who is much more beatiful and got much more attention from boys, but was weirdly also unpopular and is even more insecure than me sometimes, used to copy me a lot for a while (it's gotten better over time but sometimes I still spot a caption or smth) and it still angers me so much because it just feels as though someone is steeling the only good/cool/fun thing about me, like stealing from the poor if you will. Like why won't you let me have the only cool things I have? And then she would always say I didn't own this or that. But then again I know how insecure she is and it's not so extreme anymore
Just coming in here to comment on how amazing your hair looks! 💅🏼
Oh thank you!!
What about the friend- the work friend, who tells everyone about your business.😟
They think it’s harmless information… but the fact that they’re talking when I didn’t start the conversation myself. It’s annoying.
Your "twin-flame" inst necessarily somebody you should be with or marry, just like a soulmate it can be anyone in your life you are in relationship with
Lmao proposing while looking like a referee hahaha.
I really like this idea of an overcorrection phase. I do think it's hard for someone to identify when they are actually in one though. But agree that she probably feels like she missed out which is so unfortunate :/ she is wayyyy too hot to settle for someone like BAG, or MGK for that matter...
She WAS wayyyyy too hot BEFORE all the surgeries.
If we all had the amount of work that she's had since, we'd all be wayyyy too hot, too! 🤣🤣😂
I actually think the Kourtney/Travis relationship was a copycat of MGK/Megan..but now yeah it’s possible that K/T getting engaged gave the green light to or at least sped up MGK/Megan getting engaged..just my way scientific analytical hypothesis 😂😂 hope it works out but I’ve been let down so many times before by famous/celebrity couples, it goes way back and started with Brangelina lol that the faith I have in them is slim to none for my own sake lol (I don’t keep major tabs on all of it but Ben and Jennifer Garner come to mind kind of as the last straw for me like f/r lol)
So I completely agree with this whole analysis and I love it! However I recently watched their GQ couples quizz video and I do have to say, they seemed to really know each other well / be comfortable with each other / be their authentic selves around each other. They also talked about more normal stuff like the shows that they watch, etc. I think they’re just putting on a show to seek edgy and cool tbh but it’s probably mostly just show 😂 what do y’all think?
Just like Kim K said “you can steal the recipe but the sauce won’t taste the same “✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I feel sometimes like Megan Fox, is trying to be the next Angelina Jolie. Because she was the hot teen, cool girl, in Transformers...and then married so young and popped out 3 kids at her early 20's, and didn't have time to figure out who she is. Oh, there you are, You just mentioned the blood and Angelina thing!
It was cute until I read “...Then we drank each other blood.” that part is a bit weird.🤨
shallon is such a charismatic and fun talker, the confidence she has she just glows
The Billy Bob description was so accurate
Was literally on RUclips waiting for this video with phone eagerly clutched in hand 🤣
AS SOON AS I HEARD OF THEIR ENGAGEMENT I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO!!! YAS! ☕️ 🫖
Shallon you’re so wise and so hilarious. Keeping me laughing on my morning commute!
I have a feeling Pete Davidson is going to propose next, in the same beetle juice t-shirt
And when she’s gonna dumped him he’s gonna be suicidal just like after Ari dumped him
“BEETLE JUICE!!”
I can see Kim snorting a laugh out and going "Um....no babe. No. Please get up." And then yes, hErE cOmEs tHe sUiCiDaL 🙄🙄🙄
@@shallonlester he's not the guy girls marry but the guy that takes you to the other relationship all clean of the toxicity from the previous relationship she's the one to have fun with and fuck a big dick and settle with someone else later
I have never seen your videos before but after this one I am obsessed! I love the way you analyzed the relationship so real and true
Thank you so much for this! The over-correction-learning-new-data thing really saved me ass! 🤣 I’m putting so much pressure on myself to get engaged and have a family when I don’t even want that quite yet, but I see everyone on social media getting engaged etc. I’m just going to school for the first time since being out of high school for 7 years, and I feel so far behind in my life arena. But this video made me feel so much more at ease with myself! ❤️
Your hair color and shirt color are super cute. This whole color coordination scene is just all cute and suits you well
When she started with Brian he was the teen Idol (omg BH90210) seems like now she wants to be worshipped, MGK had posters of HER in his wall.
I never get tired of your advice. So much wisdom. :)
Oh my gosh yes, REGRET, you hit the nail on the head. I've never been able to put my finger on it, but thats the exact impression I get from her too.
Idk, Megan was already married previously. Thought the last thing she would want is marriage again.
Needed this so much today!! The way Shallon words things is everything!! ❤️
Boom! Shallon kills it again! -**_The BRILLIANT QUEEN!!_**
Megan stating the date is absolutely NOT a coincidence
2 things:
1. mgk and megan feel like the more authentic couple. Idk what it is about kourt and travis that I just can't.
2. copy cat story: told a work friend the idea I had for our teams team building event. when we were in the meeting he cut me off and presented my idea as his. plus side I didn't tell him EVERYTHING, so after he was done presenting my idea I interjected with "I was also thinking etc etc etc." He didn't look amused lol
Marriage seems to ruin everything. They are better off NOT getting married and still being the couple we admire. Now you look like theyre trying to compete bc everyone is comparing them. They let the “fans” get in the middle of their relationship so 95% it won’t last
