KEY POINTS

  • Megan Fox reportedly dumped Brian Austin Green while he was ill 
  • The couple first called it quits in 2015
  • Recently, Fox was seen hanging out with Machine Gun Kelly 

Brian Austin Green didn’t want the public to paint a grim picture of Megan Fox after their controversial breakup, but insiders are coming forward with a harrowing tale about the time the actress allegedly left the “90210 Beverly Hills” star while he was bedridden.

Green and Fox’s latest split wasn’t the first. In 2015, sources claimed that the “Jennifer’s Body” star decided to call it quits while her husband was battling what was described by Page Six as a “stroke-like syndrome.” The illness left him glued to the bed and unable to move.

It can be remembered that Green was first diagnosed with a brain condition in December 2014 which left him bedridden for a good six months. An insider claimed that he was so seriously ill that he couldn’t even lift his head.

By the spring of 2015, Fox had to fly to New York for the production of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows,” which released the following year. When she returned home, sources said the “Transformers” actress was very persistent about splitting with Green – and she filed for divorce in August.

However, the divorce didn’t push through as they reconciled. Reports revealed that after battling such a serious health problem, Green worked hard to restore their marriage.

Fast forward to today and the couple has split anew despite Green claiming in his podcast that they shared “an amazing relationship.” The 46-year-old also defended his wife against haters after Fox was spotted hanging out with Machine Gun Kelly after their split.

He said he knew the artist although he never met Machine Gun Kelly. However, Green understood that the musician worked with his wife on “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” a thriller directed by Randall Emmett.

“Megan and I have talked about him and they’re friends at this point. From what she’s expressed, he’s a really just nice, genuine guy. And I trust her judgment. She’s always had really good judgment,” Green said.

However, insiders aren’t going to bury the fact that Fox dumped Green during a phase that he described as “the worst time of my life.”

Fox’s camp denied any wrongdoing in the relationship but didn’t address the accusation.
