MEGAN FOX HAS FILED FOR DIVORCE FROM BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN,
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE TO PAY HIM A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ALIMONY JUST TO MAKE SURE
THAT HE MAINTAINS HIS LIFESTYLE AFTER THE BREAKUP.
I SHOULD NOTE THAT WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED, THEY DID NOT SIGN
A PRENUP, BUT SHE HAS OUT EARNED HIM IN THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE
HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR THE LAST FEW DECADES.
>> DAMN.
>> TO BE FAIR, SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
>> SHE'S GOT PLENTY OF CASH.
>> APPARENTLY THEY GOT INTO A PRETTY TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT, A
DRUNK DRIVER HIT THEM, AND HE HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM VERTIGO
EVER SINCE.
HE SAYS HE CANNOT
FIND WORK BECAUSE OF HIS ILLNESS.
"GREEN HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM VERTIGO AND LARGELY OUT OF
WORK SINCE THE COUPLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON
COLLISION WITH A DRUNK DRIVER LAST YEAR."
>> I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR HIM, BUT LET'S KEEP IT REAL, YOU HAVEN'T
HAD WORK SINCE 90210.
LET'S KEEP IT REAL.
SECOND OF ALL, THE
THING THAT REALLY BOTHERS ME ABOUT THIS IS THIS
ñ THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE LIFESTYLE I'VE BECOME ACCUSTOMED
TO.
TO WHICH I WANT TO SAY, WHO
GIVES A SHIT?
WHY ARE YOU ENTITLED TO A LIFESTYLE THAT YOU BECAME
ACCUSTOMED TO?
SOMETIMES YOU'LL GET A WRONG BREAK IN LIFE, AND ALL OF
A SUDDEN YOU DON'T GET THAT LIFE ANYMORE.
WHY SHOULD YOU BE GUARANTEED THE LIFESTYLE THAT YOU HAD AT
YOUR MAXIMUM SITUATION?
WHAT IF MEGAN FOX LOSES ALL OF HER MONEY LATER ON?
SHE WON'T BE ACCUSTOMED TO THAT LIFESTYLE ANYMORE EITHER?
>> SO WHAT'S HER INSURANCE POLICY?
>> NO, I'M GOING TO TAKE HALF OF HER MONEY ANYWAY.
BECAUSE OF HER, I BECAME ACCUSTOMED TO A LIFESTYLE.
IT'S A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.
>> I THINK THAT NOTION OF MAINTAINING YOUR LIFESTYLE
MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU HAVE ONE PARTY WHO PURPOSEFULLY STAYS
HOME TO TAKE CARE OF KIDS, AND THE OTHER PARTY WORKS, RIGHT?
IF THEY BREAK UP, WHAT DOES THE PERSON, WHETHER IT IS A
HOUSE MOM OR A HOUSE DAD, WHAT DO THEY END UP DOING?
IT IS HARD TO FIND A JOB, SO IN THOSE CASES IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
IN THIS CASE, I DON'T KNOW THE WORKINGS OF THE
RELATIONSHIP OR WHAT THEY ARE UP TO.
MAYBE THERE IS A CASE THAT HE IS DEPENDENT ON HER MONEY,
THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
ACTUALLY WHATíS HAPPENING BUT THAT COULD BE AN EXAMPLE.
>> IT COULD BE, SO THAT'S WHY THEY'LL GO TO COURT AND
ADJUDICATE IT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, I THINK THE LAWS ARE SET IN A
WAY THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE.
THEY WERE SET BACK IN 1955.
BACK
THEN, ALMOST ALL THE TIME IT WAS WOMEN STAYING HOME ñ NOW IT IS
GUYS DOING IT AS WELL ñ AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS FOR
TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS.
IF THE GUY ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDED HE
WAS GOING TO LEAVE, HE COULD LEAVE HER WITH NOTHING.
THAT'S
NOT FAIR, SO THE LAWS MADE SENSE IN THE BEGINNING, BUT NOW YOU GET
MARRIED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, SHE HAPPENS TO MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY IN THOSE YEARS BECAUSE SHE STARRED IN MAJOR MOVIES, AND YOU
ARE LIKE, HALF.
WHAT'S THE HALF PART?
TWO AND 20.
YOU SPEND TWENTY YEARS ANY MARRIAGE AND YOU'VE GOT TWO
KIDS AND YOU TOOK CARE OF THEM, HALF, GOD BLESS.
YOU MORE THAN EARNED IT.
>> WHAT IF THERE'S ONE KID?
>> NO, YOU DON'T GET HALF.
WE'LL NEGOTIATE.
>> THIS IS WELL THOUGHT OUT.
>> BUT YOU ARE MARRIED TO SOMEBODY FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS,
AND YOU COASTED OFF OF THEM AND YOU ARE USED TO SITTING BY HER
POOL?
YOU'LL GET TO SIT BY HER POOL FOR THE REST OF LIFE.
>> I'M TERRIFIED OF LIFE RIGHT NOW.
I'M TERRIFIED OF MARRIAGE,
WHAT IT COULD MEAN, AND ALSO, WHAT TO SAY ñ HOW DO YOU EVEN
BRING UP THE TOPIC OF A PRENUP?
>> IT'S THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE THING IN THE WORLD.
>> I'M SO HAPPY WE'RE GETTING MARRIED, BUT CAN YOU SIGN THIS?
SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE I THINK
YOU ARE GOING TO FUCK UP, AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU, BUT I
DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY.
>> YOU CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION, AND IF YOU ARE MEGAN FOX YOU
SHOULD HAVE.
LET'S KEEP IT
REAL, YOU HAVEN'T WORKED IN SEVENTEEN YEARS, SIGN IT.
BUT
YOU CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE YOUíRE
IN LOVE.
FOUR YEARS LATER, OH SHIT.
SAD DAY, IT HAPPENS TO
GUYS ALL THE TIME, IN THIS CASE IT HAPPENS TO A WOMAN.
WE GOTTA
FIX THIS, I THINK THERE IS
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED TO SOMEBODY
FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND YOU GET HALF THE MONEY THAT THEY
MADE, THAT YOU DID NOT MAKE.
AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU RUB IT IN
BY SAYING, YOU GOT ME ACCUSTOMED TO A LIFESTYLE WHERE I COAST OFF
OF YOUR ASS.
