Brian Austin Green wasn’t going to give this allegation any air.
Five years after he and Megan Fox—who started dating when she was 18 and he was 31—split in 2020, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum shared why he chose to leave the rumors that he “groomed” her unaddressed, despite his now-fiancée Sharna Burgess seeing headlines about it as they began dating.
“I really logically understood that if I defend myself this one time, it’s never gonna stop,” Brian explained on the Oldish podcast May 5. “I’m gonna have to defend myself for who knows how long because people are gonna believe what they want to believe.”
While Sharna—mom to their 2-year-old son Zane—admitted she had personally asked Brian to publicly address the allegations, he was convinced that “time is the only thing that regulates that.”
The 51-year-old—who shares kids Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8 with Megan—noticed that people around him know online rumors couldn’t be further from the truth.
