The writer of MEGAN FOX’s latest movie JENNIFER’S BODY understands why the actress incites such mixed reactions from the public – because she is a “truly eccentric” person.

The Transformers beauty is regularly voted the world’s sexiest woman by men’s magazines – but is less favourably looked upon by her fellow females.

Diablo Cody, who penned the forthcoming horror film, is convinced Fox’s mysterious nature is the reason behind it.

She says, “She really makes people angry! Girls hate her, don’t they? I do not know her very well. Even having worked with her to this extent, I don’t know her very well because she’s very private and mysterious.

“She’s a really, truly eccentric person. I don’t think people know how to process her at all. I think it’s one of those things where she does not fit the mold in any way and it freaks people out!”
