The actor, known for roles in <em data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"439\">Beverly Hills, 90210<\/em> and <em data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"464\">Beautiful Disaster<\/em>, reflected on the controversy during a candid conversation on a recent episode of the <em data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"559\">Oldish<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"777\">When co-host <strong data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"601\">Sharna Burgess<\/strong> asked why he had never publicly addressed the accusations that have shadowed him for years, Green offered a calm and measured response rooted in logic and personal discipline.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"915\">\n<p data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"915\">\u201cI think it comes from my dad,\u201d he shared. \u201cHe\u2019s very good at cutting emotion out of something and just being logical in his choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"1139\">Green explained that he approached the situation from a strategic mindset. He believed that defending himself once would lead to an endless cycle of explanations that would ultimately do little to change public perception.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1270\">\n<p data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1270\">\u201cIf I defend myself this one time, it\u2019s never going to stop,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are going to believe what they want to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1556\">Rather than getting caught in a back-and-forth, the actor chose silence\u2014an emotionally difficult, but calculated, move. Green said he focused instead on letting time pass, hoping it would provide clarity and perspective both for him and those who had questions about the relationship.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1707\">\n<p data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1707\">\u201cIt\u2019s the long game of it,\u201d he admitted, suggesting that he hoped patience and time would bring balance to the emotional toll of being scrutinized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"2162\">For context, <strong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1758\">Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox<\/strong> met in 2004 while filming the sitcom <em data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1810\">Hope & Faith<\/em>. At the time, Fox was <strong data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1849\">18 years old<\/strong>, and Green was <strong data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1871\">30<\/strong>\u2014a 12-year age gap that has since drawn criticism and sparked speculation about the nature of their early relationship. The couple went public soon after, and despite an on-again-off-again dynamic, they married in 2010 and had three children together before officially ending things in 2020.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2384\">Though the relationship is now long behind them, and both have moved on\u2014Fox is currently in a relationship with Machine Gun Kelly\u2014Green\u2019s recent comments offer a glimpse into how he internally coped with the controversy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2563\">While he still chooses not to directly rebut the accusations, Green\u2019s remarks seem to signal that <strong data-start=\"2484\" data-end=\"2525\">he has made peace with public opinion<\/strong>, even if it doesn\u2019t always favor him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Austin Green is finally breaking his silence on long-standing accusations that he groomed Megan Fox during the early days\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":73303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[18707],"class_list":["post-73302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-brian-austin-green"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
