Megan Fox Quit Transformers 3 Over Michael Bay's 'Verbally Abusive' Behavior?

Megan Fox left Transformers 3 because of abusive behavior?
Megan Fox left Transformers 3 because of abusive behavior?
We reported a few days ago that actress Megan Fox's option wasn't renewed for Transformers 3 and some new information reveals that it was Fox that left the project herself. The Wrap is reporting that it was Fox's decision to leave Transformers 3 and she did so because director Michael Bay was apparently "verbally abusive" to her on the set.

The site reports that a source close to Fox revealed the news and that Fox, "had enough and decided to get out early." Fox's publicist would not comment on the story, only reiterating a statement Fox released to People.com, which stated that it was "her decision not to return" and that "she wishes the franchise the best."

The story that originally broke on the matter revealed that it was Paramount and Bay's decision not to renew her option on Transformers 3, but it seems she left on her own accord.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released June 29th, 2011 and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Alan Tudyk, John Malkovich. The film is directed by Michael Bay.

    you cant just replace the character with a different actor its just not the same and in my opinion ruins a film, they should either scrap putting mikaela in the third movie because she isnt a huge part to the story or get megan fox back. To me and my friends its like an added bonus that your watching transformers and its got megan fox in it too. Bring megan fox back i think she was fine in the film and replacing her is a stupid idea.

    i'm actually amazed bay is directing a transformers 3,usually he never does sequels,maybe it's just me,but i'd rather go see the animated movie in theaters again rather than another bay film.

    SHe's far more attractive than doherty, but yeah, her career path could nose dive if she pushes people the wrong way in Hollywood.

    Who didnt see this coming tho? Michael Bay is garbage. Him and J.Bruckheimer had this girl pole dancing at age 15 in Bad Boys 2 (Opening sequence), so I think she's worked with these losers long enough.

    I don't give a hoot if your a murderer or a terrorist, it's all about perception but if you are these things, just give up and turn yourself in. If not then so be it, I don't care what you are as long you know how to write and make a judgment.I don't judge people by their writing or how they look.

    If you don't feel anything for anyone then you must be locked up since your a danger to yourself and to others.
    The reason I used them is only for an example of my temper when angered. Just relax for crying out loud, the longer you taunt me the more I'll keep writing.
    Haven't you ever compared your self to heroes that you like, or villains or anything that moves. Your talking to a movie freak, your talking to a comic book fan, your talking to a science fiction and a Fantasy fan.
    I can relate to these characters in some sort of fashion, the main reason why people come here to this site. To find out about their favorite heroes, they've come to know the characters and love them as an idol, as a hero.

    Have you ever cried for your heroes when they are down on their luck, do you laugh when your hero says something funny. Do you get a charge when your hero wins in the end?
    If you do then welcome to comparing your self, it shows you care, it shows that your human. I compare my self to every character that comes to mind, who are your heroes? Is it Charles Manson or Jack the Ripper

    I would have begun to retract my previous opnion, but your final two sentences made that impossible for me now. Why if you were truly of the higher intelligence, would you sink to comparing yourself to fictional characters. I will go ahead and say you are 12 possibly 13 and a half years old. I cannot hurt myself because I do not feel, therefore my actions will never cause me pain.

    if I said that I will do something, I do it. Let me explain something.

    In 1990 I worked for a horrid employer in a food retail outlet, he ordered me to do something of which I can't repeat. I stared into his eyes and told him up front, that he could get lost.

    I don't paint fake scenes to gloat, I actually tell the truth. if someone asks me if I ate something I would admit it, if someone puts me in a corner like a wild animal I fight back.

    As your petnames,that you call your self, you can keep them. I wasn't insinuating anything, every time you put someone down your really hurting your self.
    The earlier post I put down, well I would do that sort of thing. No one pushes me around and you know why it's because I stand up for my self.
    So go insult me all you want, I simply don't care what you think. The main reason I keep writing is because I don't like it when someone insults my intelligences.
    I wouldn't beat you if you were in front of me, I would yell at you. I'm Wolverine, I'm Godzilla, I'm your nightmare. Fear me,

    Petnames? Are you insinuating that you want me as your owner? I was on your case because I smelled bullsh*t about your post of what you would've done in front of the director. I am not a supporter of michael bay, though its my belief that when one posts hypothetical situations such as you did, they are trying to present themselves as something they are not. You cannot prove to me you are anything else but what I've accused you of being.

    I can't believe this story has started some fights. It's simple- she's out of the movie, for some reason. There is a report that she left due to verbal abuse, but the source for that is a friend of hers, making the story unreliable. Until a neutral third party decides to speak out, I'm taking this as a disagreement and mutual decision to part ways.
    With that said, calling Megan Fox a shemale is utterly stupid, and calling any guy a homosexual because they don't obsessively desire a sexual encounter with her is equally dumb. All of you children need a time-out.

    Putting me down or anyone else shows me that your just a massive loser. We've all equal, the difference is between us is that I treat people nicely, didn't you hear nice people all ways wins.
    I'm not a kid, I'm an intelligent adult and I know the difference between a bully and a coward.

    It shows in your m.o that you like to feel like the bigger man, taking down others so you can gloat. You think your better than me, I hate to you that your not. As I said before, we're all equal and it also include every race on our planet.

    if you truly think that your better than me, okay so what, but it shows the people on this site that your the loser not me. So stop calling me your pet names, I really don't care what you think of me or if you hate me.

    Can you live with your self knowing what you are like. Now your secret is out
    My IQ is higher than you can think and I'm not gloating.
    I don't make threats, I don't lie and if you try to put me in a trap, I will climb on top and will be the winner. You see I like challenges way to much, its part of life and I always rise to the occasion.

    Not surprised she is gone. Most of what I have seen of her work she is ok as a actres. But concidering how she and Bay have had a war of words on and off since the second film ended, I thought she would be replaced instead of her leaving. I hate to see three with out her, couse she is HOTT... Nothing like the sence with her in short shorts and a tank top on the bike in 2... :D

    Hiddenstranger66 you shouldn't even bother getting me upset. I'm nasty, I'm Wolverine on a bad day, my voice would make you flinch in fear. I'm not a push over nor a sissy, I'm a real man, a man that shouts back, a man that stands up for my self.
    So back off before you even meet my nasty self, you may think I'm joking but I'm not.
    I don't lie, I can't lie or I get a guilty complex. I can take a joke until it goes too far, I use sarcasm for making jokes.
    I'm just as crazy as any actor.
    So I must caution you, tread lightly. My bark is worse than my bite.

    She's hot, yes, but she appears to be an ungratefull skank. Bay made her 100%, no doubting it. I doubt he was verbally abusive, he probably just got pissed off cause she kept f*ckin up. I dont hear any other complaints about Bay from any other actors!! My guess is it was okay for her to insult Bay, but what ever he might have said wasn't okay to her. God she's stupid.
