Michael Bay: Steven Spielberg Wanted Megan Fox Fired from ‘Transformers’

Truth rating: 10

Steven Spielberg directed Michael Bay to fire Megan Fox from the Transformers franchise after she compared Bay to Hitler in a magazine interview, a new book reveals.

In an excerpt from “Blow-Up: An Oral History of the Most Explosive Director of All Time” published in GQ, Bay says Fox’s comment to British publication Wonderland that he “wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is” was the final straw.

“She was in a different world [during rehearsals for Transformers: Dark of the Moon], on her BlackBerry,” recalls Bay. “You gotta stay focused.”

“And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven said, ‘Fire her right now.’”

According to co-star Shia LaBeouf, Fox crossed the line.

“Criticism is one thing. Then there’s public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can’t do,” says LaBeouf in the book. “She started sh*t-talking our captain.”

Bay claims it was all business, not personal.

“I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan,” says the director. “Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in kind of the wrong way.”

“I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work twelve hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replaced Fox in the new sequel and earns praise from LaBeouf, Bay and producers in the book.

Fox declined to comment for the story.

    As much as I can’t stand Michael Bay, Megan Fox totally blew her career by getting fired from this movie. Everything else she’s done has bombed, her status as the “it girl” has ended and Hollywood will move on to someone else.

    I don’t think Megan Fox was fired for commenting about Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, or the movie. I think the problem was that she compared Spielberg to Hitler. Spielberg is Jewish, and we all know what happened at Hitler’s command in World War II. Anyone remember a film called ” Schindler’s List”?
