Megan Fox Fired from Transformers at Spielberg’s Demand

The revelation came before the premiere of Transformers 3, where Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley took over Fox's role as the female lead.

Bay revealed that it was none other than Steven Spielberg, the film's executive producer, who insisted on Fox's termination, stating, “You know the Hitler thing?

Steven said, fire her right now.”

Fox, aged 25, made the infamous remarks to Wonderland magazine just before filming commenced for the third installment of the franchise.

Describing Bay as Napoleon and drawing parallels to Hitler, she criticized his behavior on set.

Despite acknowledging some positive traits in him off-camera, she portrayed him as a tyrant during production, pushing actors to extreme limits not sanctioned by insurance protocols.

Initially, Fox's exit was attributed to her pursuit of different acting opportunities.

However, behind the scenes, it was Spielberg's decisive intervention that led to her dismissal.

Bay's decision to cast Fox had already sparked controversy, with a Transformers crew member publicly criticizing the choice over more seasoned actors.

The crew member's open letter on Bay's website expressed disappointment in the casting, suggesting that Fox failed to measure up to the professionalism exhibited by renowned actress Angelina Jolie.

The selection of Fox had raised eyebrows within the industry, with doubts cast on her suitability for the role.

Despite gaining immense popularity and becoming a widely searched personality, Fox's performance and conduct on set did not resonate well with the crew.

The comparison drawn between her and Jolie highlighted the stark contrast in professionalism and work ethic, further fueling the debate surrounding her involvement in the blockbuster franchise.
