Host Steve Jones apologized to Megan Fox after asking invasive questions during Entertainment Tonight interview

Before Megan Fox sat for the May 3, 2012, interview with Steve Jones for Entertainment Tonight, the host and interview team had been instructed by her publicists not to ask her any personal questions. But during the interview, when Jones asked Fox about her favorite gadget, he swerved onto the topic of the pregnancy rumors that had been lingering for a while.

At the time, there were ongoing rumors that Fox was pregnant with her first child with her then-husband, Brian Austin Green. Fox was caught off guard by the question since it was woven into a question about gadgets. She tried to play it off by laughing and suggesting that she knew where Jones was heading with the question, but eventually decided not to reply.

This led to her publicist telling Jones not to ask such questions. Later, Jones publicly apologized during a segment of Entertainment Tonight, mentioning that it was not right of him to attack Fox with the term "baby."
