Michael Bay Speaks Up: "I Don't Condone Crew Letter Or Megan Fox Quotes"
Three of Michael Bay's crew members asked his website last night to post their response to Megan Fox's recent insults of the director made to a magazine for her upcoming Jennifer's Body. (She accused Bay of wanting to "be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.") Now the crew get even and detail why she's the nightmare. I love when there's honesty in Hollywood. Remember what the crew did to Bruce Willis way back when?:
This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.
Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.
Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.
We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.
We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often shitty job of pulling Ms. Sourpants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.
Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such the grump of the set?
When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) -- easily another 45 minutes in the chair!
So when the three of us caught wind of Ms Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to “working with Hitler”. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.
Say what you want about Michael – yes at times he can be hard, but he's also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason – he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.
He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.
Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!
And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.
Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!
Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there's the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips' daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them “she is not nice."
The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can’t believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the “Hitler guy” she is referring to.
So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch. It's sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they're really looking up to.
But ‘fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!

This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.


Wow, what a rant. And from crew members as young as the actress they are criticizing. A lot of the “couch time” has been spent by these crew people that have not had the years of experience in the business. There is nothing new to the anguish they are feeling about comments made by an actress to the press. They just haven’t been around long enough to know it has existed, it does exist and it will continue to exist, in this business.
If you can’t have an effect on change, don’t try to change something you have no control over. Senseless as all the comments on both sides will take in this matter, it means nothing to publicize a rebuttal to an actor’s press comments.
Let see, so this is from a wardrobe person, a camera assistant and an AD department. So, with that a quick check of the crew list via IMDB or printed crew lists could yield the names of people associated with this rant. Does this constitute talking about the film signed under the confidentiality concern of paranoid studio legal? Or is it good publicity.
The comments made by the actress in question are no different from other actresses/actors have made and continued on in their careers to garnish all accolades trailing up to and inclusive of the Academy Awards, some with less talent than you can imagine. But the business has a way to let those with the questionable talent ascend if but for the reason of masses’ pleasure.
Do some homework, toughen the skin, report to work, suck up if you must.
This is bullshit! I commend and respect the crew for having the balls to stand up and say what’s on their mind. I’m tired of people kissing ass (which you seem to do too) to these young, ungrateful, untalented, spoiled brats, who somehow seem to rise to fame. Yes, Megan is a pretty girl, but is sad that that is all she has going for her. We live in a country where the 1st amendment is freedom of speech. Megan certainly utilized it, so why is it so wrong for the crew members to do so? I’m glad they voiced their opinions and facts. Toughen the skin? How about stop being a kiss ass and suck up to stupid people who feel entitled only because everyone knows who they are. Fuck outta here!
Nice trying to defend your client. If she’s as bad as they say you better not spend those commissions too quickly.
henry, this comment is hilarious… English isn’t your 1st language?
The crew members’ letter calling Megan Fox “dumb” seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
This comment was probably written by one of Meagan’s publicists. These guys sound pretty sincere! She is a obviously a little diva, in the truest sense of the word…and clearly immature. I have a feeling that Meagan is going to wind up like Winona Ryder & Bridgett Fonda, if she does not wise up soon. Hollywood is like a high school, and she is becoming one of the mean girls.
Henry: Are you kidding me? What is this some kind of contest to see who can take the most abuse? She called the guy “Hitler”. I’m glad the crew hit back. If we had more honestly like this in Hollywood maybe people would actually be nice to each other.
Pinhead read the column again they all have at least 10 years experience.
Hey man that was good. well done! you really came up for her. Maybe now you can get a date with her. LEAVE MEGAN ALONE! LOL.
I agree with John. Henry is a pinhead. Get off Megan Foxs nuts
Looks like someone hurt your feelings. How old are you anyway? Five, maybe, Seven? I bet you wished you didn’t make that fucking dumb comment, Huh? Based off what I and the rest of the viewers here think. This Megan Fox is Grade A Bitch. And like they said they just wanted to show the people what kind of person Megan Fox is, even though some are to incompetent to grasp the concept.(Hint) YOU!
She looks like a bitch…and I’m sure the crew is right…but my god she is f-in hot. Michael Bay deserves mad respect though…his movies are badass (i.e. Heat…need I say more)
Uh, sorry buddy, but “Heat” was directed by Michael Mann. Now, I do believe that Megan Fox is probably a huge bitch, but ALL of Michael Bay’s films are atrocious. Every. Last. One. Of. Them. No exceptions! Every Bay film is easily to summed up with this description…50% of the film is one big slow motion sequence and the other 50% is one big pyrotechnic shot. C’mon…Armageddon? The Rock? Pearl Harbor? All pure shit, need I go on?
its funny you call all his movies atricious when almost all of them took number on at the box office i guess millions of americans dont agree with you i think the guy is a genious and if you want to find out why megan acts the way she does read her bio about her personal life growing up and that should explain it all
I understand that Bay’s films draw heavy money at the box office, but I think that’s more a commentary on the sophistication, or lack there of, of the American movie going audience than an affirmation of Bay’s brilliance as a film director. His movie’s are brainless simplifications of what could otherwise be fairly decent films if a more reserved director were to helm the project. I get the sense that anytime Bay hits a bump in the road during production, for instance, say a gaping hole in the plot is brought to his attention, he just says “Well, let’s throw a few more explosions into the movie and people will never notice the plot problems.”
Box office doesn’t mean a lot when it comes to movies. Michael Bay is one of the lowest grade directors out there making terrible movies filled with more special effects than you can shake a stick at. The simple fact is, his movies have nothing but pretty explosions and bad acting and even worse stories flooded with plot holes. Why people defend his awful movies is beyond me, you should hitch on to a real director, no one with the “talent” of Michael Bay deserves any respect. He has yet to make a movie that consisted of anything MORE than a powerful set of special effects, which does not make a good movie.
Can’t you guys have fun at the movies. In my perspective, Bay lets audiences have fun at the movies. Critisizing takes away a lot of a movie exspierience, but thats just me.
Megan Fox is a rude, classless woman. She is not the only beautiful woman in this world and if she doesn’t learn how to hold her tounge and be gracious, soon no one in hollywood will want to work with her. Michael Bay, for that matter, is a blockbuster, big action film director. Anyone watching his movies, expecting any sort of social commentary, life changing wisdom, or even good acting is barking up the wrong tree. He does make things blow up very well. So, Michael Bay, job well done.
Come on guys, all this back and fourth crap is pointless. Megan said some bitchy things, yes, but the crew being asses back isnt gonna fix everything. All girls are bitches, all girls are dramatic divas, and if we dont get out way were act out and bitch about it. Thats life. Bad thing is im 14, and im being more mature and sensable about the whole thing than anyone involved (aside from Mr. Bay). So why dont we all take a science lesson, the earth revolves around the sun, not each of us, so lets all get our self centerd heads out of our butts and stop worry about what one pissed off actress says! Cuz im sure all of you have done things just as bad. Lets not be hipocrites, aye?
What? All girls are bitches? Just because you may be a bitch doesn’t mean the rest of the female population follows suit. What the hell is wrong with you to make such a comment. I believe that actors and actresses that are gracious, professional and considerate are the ones that should rise to the top (i.e. Travolta, Hanks). If someone, regardless of the way they look, is a nightmare to work with, they always seem to appear in less and less roles and that’s GOOD. Now we know what Megan Fox is all about and so, hopefully, do those that are considering casting her in their films.
you are just an ignorant boy, you can see right away, that girl just wants some attention, like this guys said, she doesnt have experience, she was lucky enough to be picked from a famous director to be on the movie and make her an actress, that obviously she is not a good one, and now she wants to act like a princess, not even, princess are polite and respectful, this bitch is just straight rude, she is obviously fucking spoiled because not only she is trying to be like angelina jolie, but also she thinks she is the shit, and then she tries to be modest by saying she has very low self esteem and she doesnt think she is sexy, oh common girl, you know you are pretty and sexy, but please stop that already, she is famous and people obiously have give her the attention she dont deserve, but you know what, later on they are gonna find another sexy actress to replace her, they always do. but you are just another one of those who are this poser’s fan, you are dumb to really think she is a good talented actress, oh please only ignorant people like you would think like that. she is just a spoiled whore, who later on is gonna be forgotten because she actually dont have talent as an actress, unless she starts working as a porn star, that i think it fits her well.
Are you kidding me? So people working behind the scenes shouldn’t make the public aware of what their “role model” is REALLY like?
I’m glad they posted a rebuttal, although a bit drawn out, it will hopefully make the average audience aware that actors and actresses are nothing more than people, just like everyone else.
Honestly, what I find funny is they’re basically insulting their ‘good friend’ Michael. In the beginning, they tell us HE was the one who picked Megan & her ACTING and gave her a chance of a lifetime. Later in the letter, her acting is cringe-worthy? So, are you telling us Michael does not know how to pick his talent? Hmm…
I agree with Kris. The only balls these three have is that they actually call themselves professionals. It’s painfully obvious that they just want to please Michael. She didn’t say thank you and chose to speak her mind. Wow, that’s tough. Try being on set with an actress who dictates her lighting. Try working with an A-list actor who halts production on a feature for 6 months until it gets dropped all together JUST because he “couldn’t get in to character”. Ask anyone who’s spent 800+ days on set, I’m sure they’re chalk full of stories similar to mine. This is a tough business. Hell, it isn’t even a proper job and what these three dimwits did is far from professional. They need to deal with on-set life.
To those who are wondering about the Bruce Willis comment, a reporter asked him why his films cost so much to make, Bruce said that it was because were overpaid (this from somone making $15m a film.) After this came out, Bruce had parked his car on the Universal lot and when he came back found his car covered with spit. Or maybe Nikki is talking about another time.
…and that was on a non-union feature! (with Travolta and Jackson)
But… she’s so pretty.
In Hollywood, pretty faces and perfect bodies are a dime a dozen.
soo because she’s pretty she gets to act like a dumb bitch? WOW. you’re shallow.
Uh, I believe Anonymous was KIDDING. Hello?
You can’t recognize ironic humor when you read it, and have the nerve to toss the word “shallow” around? “WOW” indeed.
alicew: Anonymous was being sarcastic. WOW. you’re a bit slow.
Er . . . I think anonymous was making a joke.
She’s not a bitch. You’ve got that wrong. She’s not good enough to be a bitch. She’s more like one of those who….
Can’t
Understand
Normal
Thinking
AH! A motley crue fan..
Lol.. idk she’s pretty but she’s always given me the “big bitch” vibe whenever i’ve seen her outside her acting roles (ie interviews and appearances) and this just confirms it.
Looks have nothing to do with it. It’s who she IS as a person. And she’s obviously ugly.
“So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option.”
Jennifer’s Bukkake.
Ryan — too good!
AAAAAAAAHAHA! Why is that spit on Bruce Willis’ car coming to mind…
Leave Megan alone. Listen, no one thinks that she is a brain trust. She’s an actress, not a Pulitzer prize winner. Also, be honest with yourself. Michael Bay is an asshole. Many will attribute to his sexist, racist and obnoxious behavior.
But, I alway appreciate someone who stands up for something they believe in. And, apparently, you need a job.
Spoken like someone who knows NOTHING about what goes on behind the camera. Go back to jerkin it to her pics and keep your uneducated opinions to your little self.
Okay, Megan Fox is pretty, and she may not be the smartest person on Earth. Hell, she may not even be the least bit smart. But, I do not think she is an “actress.” The rant basically distinguished the difference between Fox and Jolie. Jolie is a professional actress… Fox? Not so much. And it is obvious from all the interviews that she has participated in–she has no class.
well i honestly believe this letter is dead on i think we all agree that megan fox is a sexy bitch
Now that is a delicious smack down!
Bravo!
Nothing like trashing someone and not having the courage to leave your own name. Pretty sad. And Megan Fox should go away but at least when she trashes someone she does it on the record.
you are an IDIOT. How are these crew members going to keep their jobs if they drop their names on the letter? Half the men in America are jacking off to Megan Fox, her future is secure. A crew member’s though?
Keeping your job is important. Making sure ass holes like Fox are kept in their place is important too. They struck the right balance
amen.
it’s very simple. if the crew didn’t post annonymously, they would have to write a proper rebuttal to the comments instead of calling her white trash/bitch/dumb.. the whole usual mysogynic people say when it’s a woman.
if they didn’t post annonymously, they would have to argue that Michael Bay is in fact fun to work with, instead of doing an ad hominem attack
you don’t get it.
i’m hoping i’m not the only one who already saw this coming. we cn only hope she won’t last too long.
She’ll last unti she develops a great love for Twinkies, or beer, or both. She’ll last as long as her bod holds out.
You are so stupid. Obviously they are not going to leave their names because they’re going to get fired. Why don’t you leave your full name and the name of your company when you’re replying to this post then? You imbecile.
Yeah, how dare they stand up for their boss after someone calls him, literally, “Hitler”. I’ve heard Michael Bay stories, but he’s probably not gonna hop in front of a mic and call her Eva Braun.
That’s because Megan is a know-nothing little twit who thinks her looks gives her carte blanch to do or say whatever she wants. Let’s see how many more movies she makes after people get to know what she’s really like. Over the last 50 years I could name a 1000 Megan Fox’s who no one ever saw again. Hopefully she’ll be the next loser to leave?
fantastic! she’s a bubble head and its been popped
Words cannot express my joy reading about the “real” Megan Fox just like I imagined (seriously, she’s very transparent, I found her to be dumb and arrogant from the interviews she’s done.)
The crew made a good point about how young girls look up to this woman, and it just sadden me because how true it is, in fact I wanted to slap my teenage cousin when she told me how she admire Megan Fox. Why girls aspire to be a Kardashian or a Megan Fox is beyond me! We need better female role models in the magazines.
Why would anyone look up to her? She’s only an actress, not a humanitarian or anything.
Many young girls would like to be movie stars. When they see that some unknown girl can be thrust into such fame like that, it gives them hope. Therefore, they’d like to be like the girl who gets instant fame.
What unknown? That whole “unkonwn” thing is a publicity stunt. She’s been acting on TV shows since she was a little girl.
That the second comment stating that we shouldn’t expect much of her because she is (only) an actress. I find it quite sad as many (most?) great, as in good, not beautiful, actresses (and actors) are really smart people.
Like it or not, movie stars, sports(wo)men and such are examples for youngs, not doctors and philanthropists.
You know, when I look at a certain franchise of crappy, undeserving, yet still-popular books, the fact that Megan Fox is at this position of fame really doesn’t surprise me anymore.
… Really, it’s difficult to think any worse can happen.
Easy to trash-talk if you’re too much of a douche to say your name. Lame thing, but of course it will catch fire in town.
They can’t say their name because it’d risk their job.
Well said Transformers crew!
I don’t doubt your stories about Megan are true. But if she’s so bad an actress (”cringe-able” as you call her), what the hell did Bay see in her in the first place that had him crowing to everyone to “trust him on his choice”? I think both parties deserve each other.
Probably because she is sexually appealing. Sex sells.
Think about it, man. She’s part of the reason Transformers and it’s sequel were so successful. You don’t have to be a good actress to pose for the camera, and that’s generally all she did. Bay made the right choice, despite the opinion (held by many) that she couldn’t act her way out of a plastic bag.
she isnt a good actress, she is just hot. that is the only reason she got the part. he needed a super hot girl in a guys movie with stuff blowing up. she is eye candy that is all. she should model, that way she would never have to actually talk.
What he saw was what we ALL see. She’s hot.
Trust him on his choice because he’s banging her. Please! Learn more about what really goes on in Hollywood.
Well, considering more than 60% of those who saw Transformers, over 60% were male. He picked her out for:
A. Her face
B. Her body
Is that enough for you?
Well, I guess somebody won’t be showing up in Transformers 3. Kudos to the writers of the letter for showing Fox as she really is.
It’s nice to hear Bay is cool and loyal to crew, but I know people who work(ed) for him pretty intensely, and let’s just say his coolness and loyalty has never really come up in conversation.
This is from a real Transformers crew member( only on the good one- didn’t do the Bay run shitty second one) and I can tell you one thing there is no way that you could ever find three crew members who support Bay period. I was asked back for the second and said no way, life is too short. Megan is a doll to work with and the “real crew” will stand behind her 100 percent.
I will tell you who wrote the “three crew member” email and that is one person… can you guess… yes that is right Mr. MICHAEL BAY WROTE THE LETTER HIMSELF. Look at the language and I’m sure you are all internet savy enough to pull up past Bay quotes and compare them to the “three crew member” letter. Yes that is right Bay thinks you will buy the fact that three phantom crew people got together over a beer and said hey lets call Bay’s website and post a defense.
First off they did not post their names because Paramount will punish them??? LOL Bay do you really think that will work. You are and ass and as soon as you stop making money for the machine you will be kicked violently down the ladder by all the people who have worked with you.
So all you internet hounds get to the bottom of the mystery of ” the three crew members” and you will find the crumbs leading back to a sad and spiritually vacant Mr. Bay. As for you Mr. Bay the karma train is on track 3 and you are dancing on the tracks.
The real crew supports you Megan thanks for having the balls to tell the truth. Bay sad attempt at the letter and the truth is out there. Nikki expose the truth and you will make headlines.
If it really was Bay I would totally give him loads of respect for smacking down an egocentric 20 something idiot of an actress if he signed his name.
If it was him and he didn’t sign it, he has no balls.
Either way this was fun.
Can someone read it to Megan so we can get her thoughts?
I( have no doubt that someone would have to “read it to Meagan”, how else would she understand what the little squiggles on the screen meant?
Thats exactly what I was thinkin when I read this. This cant be 3 crew members. Noone could rant that much unless something bad was said about them. Sounds like Bay was tryin to spit some bad words back at her.
Lol, I’m pretty sure you’re a real Transformers crew member. I’m the real Transformers crew member, and what they say is 100% true. Megan Fox is a bitch.
There was a “good one” ????
A doll to work with? Have you read the Cosmo interview she was recently in? She admits how much of a bitch she is and how little she cares about how that affects other people. The fact that the person even said she’s a doll to work with shows that they are NOT a real crew member. The girl is a spoiled little twit. No one likes her for more than her big lips and nice body. That’s all she’ll ever be to any casting director. (Hence the amount of clothes she lacks in any movie she’s ever been in).
If she is as nice as “the real transformer crew” has said,
She wouldn’t be talking shit about bay.
Come on guys, we all know megan is better off being a porn star.
Funny they should make the porn comment.
I thought from the first frame I saw her that she looked like the average, porn “star”. My comment to a friend was that if this is today’s idea of “hot” with the teen crowd that a whole lot of parent should have installed a lot more downloads of NetNanny. I shuddered to think that porn was having a cultural influence on the idea of what beauty looks like. (glad to know I wasn’t alone in my impression)
Sadly, her acting is commensurate with her look, I guess she’d be one of the better actors in the porn field, but that does seem to be the top floor of her actual ability.
She should worship the ground MB walks on, funny that she doesn’t get that there’s no career once he can’t or won’t cast her any longer. He should can her ass. No one will miss her, and it could only improve the franchise.
It’s sure gonna hurt a few years from now when MB is still working the biggest projects in the industry and she’s standing in line for a spot on the surreal life. (which I’m aware exist, but of which I have never watched so much as a moment)
Hollywood fights are fun! However, I have to wonder who these people are on the set because their positions may warrant different relationships with Mr. Bay.
Also, people really need to work on their grammar. I know it’s nit-picking, but “than” is the comparative form and periods go inside quotation marks.
By the way everyone here is a clue. Everyone has a certain amount of phrases they use a whole lot like “bring your A game”. Notice it is in the letter above and if you google Michael Bay “bringing your a game” alas it pops up in past Bay quotes alot. Such as:
Another memo seemed to have found Bay in a much calmer mood however. He wrote to Paramount a month later, thanking them for bringing their “A game” for the film’s release.
Now Bay’s little Toady on his website Nelson knows the truth and if the heat gets too much and Bay is exposed for writing the above letter I am sure he will point a finger at his webmaster or some other “fan” when the crew members cannot be found.
The funny thing is Bay is arrogant enough to think he can pull this off. Well my money is on Nikki and the readers of this site to expose the truth of this story.
Are you kidding posting this petty juvenile crap? This nonsense really debases this site. Does Michael Bay need to get crew members to gang up and fight his battles? Or, because of one stupid whiny random comment on this site did someone think to inflate it into an event. Geez, this woman must be awfully powerful to upset so many ‘important’ men. It never ceases to amaze how incredibly spiteful and hysterical grown men can be when they perceive an attractive woman has ignored them. Grow up and quit whining. Who would want to talk to someone this whiny and spiteful. Megan Fox is not there to court you, she’s there to do her job which it seems she did. Your big complaint is she didn’t say thank you, didn’t hang out with you, and has tattoos? And they say women are catty and emotional. Also, Megan Fox was not an unknown. She was a main player on an ABC primetime sitcom, dated the 90210 guy and was in that Lindsay Lohan movie. And from what seems to be widespread opinion Michael Bay is no great treat. Good for Megan Fox for revealing that car wash thing he made her do which may be what all this is about. Any time a woman is outspoken and opinionated the men gang up to bring her down, especially if the woman is attractive and ignored them. Hopefully this won’t kill her spirit. She comes out looking good from this.
She “dated the 90210 guy”?!? That’s hilarious you’d list that as one of her professional accomplishments in light of your feminist defense of her.
It may be petty, but it’s sure fun to read their accounts of working with her. And I think you can treat your crew with respect without being best friends with them. Saying hello when someone says hi to you is a pretty basic communication skill. I don’t think she comes out looking good at all because it’s not a matter of being outspoken. It’s a matter of not knowing when to just shut the fuck up and be thankful to the director who gave you your start.
Yeah it’s all petty, and all for feminism, but Megan Fox is the exact opposite. She is someone that got cast not for her talent, but for the way she looks. Ask a group of women if they find her attractive, then ask a group of men. I’m willing to bet the women thinks she looks like a porn star, and that’s exactly why the men like her.
But this isn’t her standing up to the “men” in Hollywood. This is someone being very unprofessional, and ungrateful. Transformers is one the highest grossing franchises in the world, and without Bay she’d still be famous for dating that “90210 guy.” No one would know who she was without him, and the only thing I don’t agree with about this entire situation is why she was ever cast in the first place. Seeing her act is like torture.
hahaha i love you for saying this!!!! well spoken, indeed!
Speaking of hysterical, middle-aged people….15 lines later, do you feel better yet?
And frankly, name one boss whose workers all feel the same way about them.
Am I the only one sick of people who work in the this town complaining about working?? There are thousands of actors, crew, writers and directors that would give an arm to be able to be in any movie…even a Michael Bay film.
Megan should feel lucky she has ANY work. Just shut up and do your job and stop bitching about your employer. There are plenty of hot chicks waiting in the wings when your 15 minutes is up.
I have read articles describing Bay as the way Ms Fox describes him, and describing Ms Fox as the way the Transformers crew describe her. Im inclined to believe both statements are true.
Dont perhaps think that either party should have made inflamatory statements though.
This letter is really misogynistic right? I’ve lived in Hollywood a long time and sometimes it gets confusing.
Put me down as another who believes Bay wrote this himself.
The misogynist comments were not necessary, and they throw a shadow over the rest of this letter.
Are you sure you know what the word “misogynist” means? There is nothing in this letter that demonstrates the crew members have a general hatred or mistrust of women.
More than meets the eye…
Bay should just be happy that his awful films make him lots of money, and save sending out flunkys to defend his name.
Which, is like trying to defend Uwe Boll.
So you are telling me that the movie The Rock, Bad Boys, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and Transformers are “awful” ? Is it backwards day? If I didn’t know any better I would think we are in Bizzaro world after what Mr. Obviously Doesn’t Know What He Was Talking About just said.
First off, a slut is a slut. Don’t try to tell me your slutty ex-girlfriend just so happened to be a nice down to earth girl that is a strong christian. You might as well tell me the world is going to end on 2012. I have a better chance of believe that than believe that you literally think MB’s movies are “awful”.
LEAVE! MEGAN! ALONE!
You don’t deserve her!!
I think you meant to say, “What did we do to deserve her?”
Yes, Archie, this entire “letter” was completely misogynistic and disgusting. There are ways for calling out people’s behaviour without constantly referring to them as a porn star. You can bet if it was a man who was shirtless in a lot of movies and magazines there wouldn’t be that comparison at all.
Ditto on the “Michael Bay wrote this shit” as well.
Damn! That was hardcore! I was waiting for a WWE wrestler to come out and say, “Megan Fox, suck it!” as he or she makes a polite motion to the nether region.
Actually wasn’t that surprised on what I read but it was entertaining to read what crew members have had to deal with.
Come on people, let’s face facts. There are complete jerks on both sides of the camera. I’ve worked in this business for many years now and you just come to terms with it. Once people work in the movie/television biz, the majority of them get such a HUGE head over the idea. Even PAs become the biggest jerks because they work in the biz. It’s sad but true. That’s why I appreciate the truly nice people more and more, they are hard to find in this business.
Megan is no genius but she has a right to her opinion. Michael is a pure asshole. Worked with him and he’s a dick.
Love this part…”one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.”
I know Bay, he could care less about this – he knows she makes crazy quotes. Stop all the fuss let’s move on —
“we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work.”
…and that is the most depressing aspect of this letter.
Well Theo, Bay fights to keep his movies in Cali….all I know is he helped me support my family a few years.
We need more filmmakers to fight to shoot here!!
Power to him!
Michael Bay makes awful unwatchable films. Megan and him seem perfect fo each other. Someone who executes a bad sillyy plan with precision and gusto isn’t a genius or an artist. Bay is just a hyper organized underachiever.
what movies have you ever seen by him. I have seen damn near all of them. Guess what, every single movie he has ever made that I have seen has been an original classic from the get-go. To say that he makes unwatchable movies is like saying “bugs do not like to fly into bug zappers because they has learned.”
Michael, if you are reading this. Thank you so much for the movies you have designed and brought from a piece of paper to a monumental item such as The Rock Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.
Out of all the people named Michael that I know of, Bay takes the cake. So what if Jordan makes shoes, and just so happens to be one of the greatest athletes of his time, but his glory will fade as it has. The movies I listed above will be traveling through this universe for times to come. The movies we make today, effect the futures we make tomorrow. *No pun intended*
You’re kidding, right? The Rock? Armageddon? Pearl fucking Harbor? All these films and the rest not listed here that were directed by Bay are huge steaming piles of crap. Each and every Bay film can be summed up with this description…50% of the film is a slow motion sequence and the other 50% is a pyrotechnic shot. There’s never a decent plot or any character development. I won’t presume to tell you what directors I deem worthy, but I know a hack when I see one and Michael Bay is a hack.
I know know someone who worked with her on a tv show. He said she was very unprofessional, missed several “table reads” and sometimes was just written out of scenes, or even episodes because she was such a horrible actress, with a bad attitude. And that was when she was a nobody. But he said she is seriously HOT in person, even without make up! And isn’t that the only reason anybody cares about her anyway?
I worked on the same TV show that was mentioned above…..I concur wholeheartedly…wish it wasn’t so, though. She was an 18 year old who had a tremendous opportunity to learn and soak up a ton of experience that she was surrounded by….she chose to ignore and mistreat everyone around her there, though…..
I went to the young hollywood award show which gave Megan Fox an award. Although she is a beautiful lady she seems to very empty and not gracious with people around her when the camera is off.
At least we know she didn’t get the part by laying on the casting couch. I’m sure that bummed Bay out.
no, she got it washing his car.
please, don’t be so sure of that.
Two sleazy losers battling it out.
It is critical to remember that the PRODUCT of the BayFox union is an insulting, racist, boring, militaristic, numbing piece of shit.
They can have their money, fame – they’re going to be thrown aside by the public soon enough. Things change and they’re changing now…
This honestly reads like something Michael Bay wrote while drunk. The grammar is embarrassing.
Look, I don’t particularly even like Megan Fox. But this letter — whoever wrote it — is tasteless, tactless, sexist, and cowardly.
If this were Bay..Why wouldn’t he just sign his name? He’s not going to get fired by any studio, his films make too much money. The public would understand because the ditz compared him to one of the most evil men to ever grace this planet. I get that Bay is not liked in Hollywood, but I would think that if he wanted to defend himself to a stuck up, uneducated bitch, he would just do it. He would blog about it or something.
I give it 2 years before Megan Fox is starring in a Skin-a-max movie. That is unless Michael Bay decides to to cast her in Transformer’s 3. Otherwise this girl has no future.
Michael Bay is the nicest and sweetest director. He is a true artist. How dare Megan Fox speak out against such a gem of our time, the master of film?
hahaha! I cannot top that. Well played JohnD
In tears. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Thanks for that. Too funny……ha
After reading this, I’m glad Jennifer’s Body is such a lame flick. When you see it drop like a stone at the box-office, think about karma.
About time crew members turned the light of truth on these dumb as shit “actors” who couldn’t act their way out of a public urinal. Megan Fox has no talent. If she didn’t have the look of a blow up doll, she wouldn’t have gotten a single job other than flipping fries at Burger King but even then her big stupid mouth would have got her ass fired.
Regardless of who wrote this article, I still believe that people should be able to stand up in the industry even in the name of anonymity. Hollywood is a brutal and ugly industry where your name can cost you your entire career. That’s the reality of it. Many of these people that are saying “he/she has no balls because they’re not posting their name” well, how would you react if your job was on the line? The world of entertainment is brutal, and although Megan is entitled to her opinions, the world is a bit sick of her classless rude mouth and it’s about time someone called her out on it. Actress/Actors get way too much leeway in this industry. They get star power because people give it to them. They’re treated like queens and kings while hardworking crew members and directors are put on the backlight. I hate the fact that Hollywood still carries the strangest hierarchy of power in the entire commercial industry. I actually applaud the fact that “crew members” (if they really are) are finally speaking out away from People magazine.
Per-fect-ly said JJ. There is no excusing rudeness and disrepect. MB may be an ass, but those who have complaints about working with him, think about this, you are working for HIM and you don’t have to. Most people complain about their bosses, but the fact of the matter is, this is what you signed up for and AND it happened to change your life forever for the better should you have chosen to respect the opportunity graced upon you.
We hate to admit, but Hollywood gets to run by a different set of rules and laws, I mean, look how far this letter has gotten even though it was removed from the website in little time. EVERYTHING is heightened in Hollywood. Imagine if they gave their names, even if they kept their jobs, their lives would dramatically change in an instant…granted because MF is only a pretty face, it’d be short lived, but and let’s be real, all those bashing this letter would likely bash it even harder if you knew their names. You’d google them and start that process I mentioned earlier of temporarily tearing their lives apart.
If MB did indeed write it, so the fuck what, whether he signed his name or not. Who can blame him for being pissed for never having encountered a more ungrateful actress in HIS ACTUAL career. If you were him, would you sign your name? His name on the bottom of that letter would truly overshadow everything.
She really was playing with fire, it was inevitable that she would get burned eventually. However nasty Bay was to her, he did make her career.
And the fact it comes from his official website doesn’t raise one eyebrow? Seriously Nikki?
Of course, the other side to this is how many of these posts are coming from Megan fox’s publicity people, trying to protect their star client?
Entertaining stuff. Makes me wonder if this is why Rachelle Leferve got canned from Twilight. Young actresses simply aren’t allowed prima donna behavior.
Megan Fox is just a product of the collapse of the Hollywood publicity machine. In the old days there would have been a handler there at every interview ready to hit the remote controlled shock collar every time she steered away from the script and draw attention away from the work at hand.
Nowadays publicists believe that any publicity is good publicity, and actively encourage their clients to speak out about anything and everything because if it’s really outrageous or stupid, it means headlines, headlines, headlines. However stories like this tend to overshadow things like… oh, the release of a certain movie, and hurt what’s supposed to be their real cause, which is putting bums in theatre seats.
I second Hank Chinaski above. The “Michael Bay is a darling” thing is a little hard to swallow especially for anyone who knows anyone who’s worked with him on set. The Loyalists should have just said THEY like him, and leave it at that.
Word I heard from crew on the set of a certain mega-sequel was, a certain director got mighty pissed that a certain actress he’d plucked from obscurity was sleeping with everyone on the set but him—and he’d picked her to play the part specifically to be his on-set friends-with-benefits. She hadn’t slept with him in the first movie, ’cause she said she was faithful to her BF, but when she broke up with her BF during shooting of the sequel, she nailed literally everyone—including the key grip—but not the big-time, ego-inflated director.
That’s the word.
There’s a scene in Transformers 2 where Megan and Shia almost get blown up because the crew set up an explosion too early as M & S jump across rooftops.
She has every right to be pissed at him.
They just said why they can’t mention their names, they don’t have the protection an actor does. I imagine that films crews are expendable. They don’t make what Megan Fox makes.
Crew people hate Michael Bay just as much as anybody else who hates him in Hollywood, who’s he trying to kid? Did anyone check to see who this e-mail was REALLY from? Childish nonsense from a childish brat of a “director.”
I started to read the letter from the crew members but then I scrolled down to see if they signed their names. Since they didn’t, I stopped reading. I appreciate their loyalty, but they should have signed their names.
It was a movie about 80s toys. Come on.
Megan Fox is a very young woman. Her star rose quickly. I read her comments about Michael Bay, who, incidentally, is one of the best directors in the business and it is HIS set to run. She had an opinion, but he was able to get good, solid performances out of this girl. They’re both good at what they do. This isn’t a fight. Who cares? Fox should come back — the whole point is to ENTERTAIN/ She was good in both films. Bay is an incredible director. Let’s move on. On I personally hope Michael and Megan are both adult enough to see each other’s value in continuing together for the next movie. And for us grownups: let’s let this young woman grow up. She’s a kid and I didn’t think her comments were that bad especially since the man made her a household name. They’ve both done their jobs.
I can tell you from someone who was actually in the movie – Bay rode us a lot, but with no talent behind it. I’m actually surprised that Bay hasn’t popped his own head (or his porn star girlfriend) into the movie yet like M Night. He is a hack, and sadly we are stuck with him. Unless Herbie the Love Bug 2 has an opening…
Good for her telling him off. She can sit on my seats anytime.
+1 Bay wrote it.
Does anyone in Hollywood ever take the high road?
I had the utter pleasure to be a PA on Pearl Harbor many years ago and I can tell you in no certain terms that Mr. Bay is probably one of the worst human beings I have ever or will ever encounter. That experience alone made me realize that I am not cut out for the movie business and I thank Mr. Bay for that. As for whether he’s capable of writing this horrendous attack on Megan Fox, I’m surprised he stopped there. Megan, watch your back girl.
As soon as I read the thing I thought it came from Bay himself. lol. Everyone knows his reputation and what a complete a**hole he is. At the same time Megan needs to clean up her own act. Her interviews just paint her as poor white trash in desperate need of the spotlight
maybe i’m just a jerk…but I think the question of “who’s the bigger asshole: Megan Fox or Michael Bay” is best answered as “here are two assholes who deserve each other.”.
Sorry, but I’m not going to lose sleep over Meg and Mikey apparently terrorizing each other.
Amen to that! The best outcome of this bitch-slapfest would be if it ruined both their careers. A world without any more Michael Bay films would be a better place, and the next “Megan Fox” will be along before we’ve had time to forget this one.
This is quite the horrible people battle.
Why can’t they both be awful?
That’s seems to be the consensus of people I know who have worked with them.
I read an Esquire profile of Bay a few years ago, and even though he knew full well a journalist with a major magazine was covering him, he still behaved like a raging dick. At point in the article, I do not exaggerate, he’s with the journalist and he pulls up to a store IN HIS HUMMER and without any comment PARKS IN A HANDICAP ZONE.
Megan Fox is an extremely hot property now, so it’s very unlikely a few random staffers would simply post this on Bay’s official site. One call from Fox’s agent and publicist, and heads would roll. So the only reason it’s up there, we must assume, is that it’s with Bay’s direct approval. (Even if he didn’t write it himself.) Fox’s people are more powerful than everyone in Bay’s group except Bay himself.
But please, Megan, enough with the Hitler analogy.
Are you high? Fox’s people are more powerful? This man has made his studios billions of dollars. There are only a HANDFUL of stars in Hollywood that can claim that and those are the only ones that can claim more power than Bay.
Love him or hate him, the man makes money for his bosses. He has had ONE movie that lost money. That’s it. What has Megan Fox done OTHER than the movies that Bay put her in? NOTHING. Someone who has done 2 movies is nowhere near as powerful as the director who made his studio billions. I thought people in Hollywood were smart.
Megan Fox is unbelievably hot..But, that’s it. That’s as far as her talent spreads.
Met and talked to one of his crew at a party a while back so I had to know: Is he awful to work with?
Yes, said the guy. Worse than his rep. So I asked: Why do people work with him then?
He said: You have him on your resume and then people know you can survive anything and it’ll be good for future job prospects.
He also told me that an AD on this particular show had been made such a wreck by the screaming abuse that his hair was falling out. Again he said: The AD survives this the studios will know he can work for anyone.
I bet you there are more people in Hollywood who have worked with Michael Bay and would have the same opinion as I do. I know, because I’ve been on different sets and there’s always a horror story about how much of a douche bag Michael Bay really is. Maybe away from the set he’s super cool when he’s not snorting coke or hooking up with prostitutes. But I worked on several commercials when that ego-maniac and no one on the set liked him. Not even his Assistant Director. So maybe Megan Fox is crazy, but Michael Bay is a punk.
I hate It when low rung industry laborers think they are owed something by the actors.
She’s the red hot, gorgeous “it” girl, and you are the loser washing underwear on the set of a movie.
You didn’t get girls in high school and your’e still bitter now as you are just realizing working on a set still isn’t going to get you a girl – your still stuck at home after work beating off to Star Wars.
From michaelbay.com:
“I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3.
Michael”
PS: I like Michael. He is who he is. But he is a pro and a cashcow.
Last year, Fox announced that she would “literally kill herself” if she was turned into a toy.
http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=189&itemid=13816
Uh-huh.
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/mikaela-banes/1895/
I don’t think Megan Fox is an extremly hot property right now. I think she and her people WANT us to believe she is. After all perception is reality, right? Bay came out and say he doesn’t support the crew letter, thanks them for it but looks forward to working with Fox on Transformers 3
Bay thinks he’s James Cameron, nut there is one difference. JC is a genius who makes good films. Bay is a commercial director who is good at product placement. His films look like a Pepsi ad. He is a terrible hack. So I’m not surprised he made a star out of a hopelessly shallow actress like FOx. Have you met his implants, I mean girlfriend
Come on Stu,
It’s obvious Bay wrote that shit himself. Seriously. Put it together.
That trite is so clearly made up by Bay. There is no distinction in the 3 voices. They all use similar catch phrases that Bay is known to use. He wrote it. Instead of buying into it, why not call him out? You guys are the OG Defamer’s. You’re supposed to be hard. WTF?
Nobody in Hollywood likes this guy but Bruckheimer.
You may not know this; but at night when the sun goes down Michael Bay sheds his Hyper-ADD-FratBoy-Storyless persona and transforms into the ultimate creature of doom: Mega-Douche.
All recognize the mighty Mega-Douche!!!
Guy fucking wrote it himself. No crew will snitch for fear of being blackballed. He wrote it. Call him out. Be the OG’s you guys are supposed to be.
I doubt Bay wrote this, but did not sign it. He has the juice to call out lil’ Megan for her comments without hiding behind 3 fictional crew members.
That said, the main reason I don’t think Bay wrote it: watching the credits roll on TR2, it showed a list of several hundred folk. In that size of a group you will always be able to find a a certain number of kiss-asses who will say or do anything to ingratiate themselves with the boss.
Three individuals see the boss getting slammed, create a letter using the language that the boss also uses and then submits it to the boss’s website for distribution.
Haven’t any of you worked in an office enviroment and seen the suckups who parrot a boss whose only power really is to determine when the asskisser can take their breaktime? If someone will act like that for such little gain, do you not believe that a toady would not suck up to a director that runs the size of productions that Bay does?
“We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way.”
Easily the funniest line in the story. LMAO!
I believe Fox made one, brief comment about Bay, and it wasn’t even particularly insulting. She called him a typical director, basically.
Now this response. Umpteen paragraphs of juvenile invective. On Bay’s own website, posted with his approval.
Anyone who doesn’t see Bay as the loser here is out of their mind.
I’m certainly not here to defend Megan Fox, but the authors of this little diatribe imbued it with such venal hatred that they can hardly be considered an unimpeachable source. It is one thing to say she is a bitch, it is quite another to go on to the point of taking digs at her childhood. At that point, the letter becomes more illustrative of the authors than of Ms. Fox. And it is pretty well established at this point that Michael Bay can be very difficult to work with – so it is intellectually dishonest for the authors to suggest otherwise. Certainly, they can and probably should defend him, but don’t try to convince a fairly educated audience (on this stuff, anyway) that he is a benevolent saint.
Megan Fox may well be a stuck-up bitch, but whoever wrote this letter is certainly not the one to convince me of that.
Ms. Fox, while not preternaturally talented and not yet in the high money-earning ranks, has great beauty and innate allure.
Mr. Bay has unimaginable riches and real power, but can and will never have even a scintilla of what Fox has, in abundance.
To quote Stephen Sondheim: “That’s the sorrowful précis;
It’s very messy”.
Let’s see… who will be in a position to hire these squealers again? Oh, that’s right, Michael Bay! And we all know he has such a pristine rep for being a sweetheart on his sets.
Yeah, I’m going to have to go with the “totally shocked if Bay didn’t write it himself” crowd. I can’t believe this is being unquestioningly published here without at least a “Bay claims” or “according to Bay.” At the very least, without proof or names, that’s the minimal of journalistic integrity.
I’m sure the cast of SNL will be pleased to read this in advance.
Heh, and these loyal Bay crew members would never have been asked or… *shock* maybe even paid to post that online. At least Fox had the balls to call him out in public, unlike these guys who won’t give their names.
Bay is a good action director, the first TF film was excellent, but the 2nd was an insult to the TF fans with it’s over-use of military hardware and pathetic side-lining of beloved TF characters. Found it hard to believe it was written by the same two guys who wrote Trek. No one got hurt? Didn’t Shia nearly get his face blown off? I’m glad she’s not the next Angelina as I can’t stand that damn woman!
“looks fade” and character endures– Megan Fox represents all that is rapaciuosly souless in Hollywood.
There’s going to be a Transformers 3? SWEET!
Oh, and Hollywood is brimming with douchers. It wouldn’t surprise me if both parties are to blame.
I fail to see her appeal. Or Shia LaBeuf’s, for that matter.
I call BS on this one. I’d bet Bay wrote it himself. How immature.
Controversy? Really?
Must be around the date for the DVD release. Why look at that, only a month or so away…
She’s only done 2 films? Wow, you guys reallly ARE Michael-Bay-Struck! Wikipedia says:
2003 Bad Boys II Club Kid Extra (Uncredited)

I’m in the local 706, I know one of the people who wrote the letter. I do not think it was right of them to voice so public. But do you all think the craftsmen and women in the industry don’t have feelings too? Sometimes a little more “thank you”can go a long way.
You all seem to get very mean on this site and you comments seem angry and silly.
Let’s just try to make this a better place for all of us to work.
Just the Local Guy
I think many people on here know how hard a crew works which is why there are so many rude comments directed towards Megan Fox for her alleged disrespectful behavior. Maybe because I’m more acquainted with the indy word, I’m out of touch with the culture of studio productions, but during the projects I’ve been involved with keeping the crew happy was of utmost importance. A film couldn’t be made without their specialized skills, and people like Fox would be wise to remember that. Perhaps a little internet bitch slapping (despite being viewed by petty or out of line by some) will compel her be a little more relational to the people who are working their asses off on set next time.
I did not work on Transformers, but a lot of my friends did. And I heard the stories, ad nauseam. From what I’ve heard both takes on this are true. And, of course, so what? The movies make ridiculous money. They’ll both be back for 3.
From what my friends who have worked with him say, he DEF has Hitler-esque delusional behavior.
I thought Transformers woulda sucked if there was no aesthetic, via Miss Fox, which I likely would’ve walked out on if I wasn’t carpooling with friends. It was Megan that made it tolerable. It was like staring at the prettiest rose in a violent storm for hours, with Shia’s funny, easygoing ways…I could see them doing a romantic comedy but this crap…if it wasn’t for those two and a really good slpiff…and being 105 degrees in LA…we woulda never bothered.
I BELIEVE THESE GUYS. And yes, MB has ruined good stories (but not as much as Brian DePalma). And I also believe MB is a sometimes tyrant on the set. But he’s also a DIRECTOR. Nuff said.
And other Pro-Megan posters can spare me the *verbal flatulations* how the writers of this rant are too cowardly to reveal their names. You all DAMN WELL KNOW this town is the most vindictive, hypocritical, and vicious town to any below-the-line worker who tells the truth about our self-entitled/ill-bred/cokehead leading actors and actresses.
That’s why Hollywood is one of two places where the TRUTH always has to be *managed* by pr flacks (The other is Obama’s Washington).
And everyone with half a brain-cell knows that any actress who has entire paragraphs branded onto her young body is really a pornstar at heart -if not in deed also (stand by for the sex/porn clips starring a struggling Megan that have yet to be “discovered”)
this is so poorly written I’m tempted to think those crewmembers were bay’s writers.
I always look to Megan Fox for her incredible insight into issues.
Whether it’s Health care reform, Cap and Trade and the
environment, or the state of the world financial markets;
Megan’s opinion matters. So, thanks to Michael Bay for
plucking this oracle of insight from obscurity and exposing us
to her fine, fine, ass.
Is there one person in la la land that just keeps his/her mouth shut and do his/her job? Who gives a flying fuck about Megan Fox not smiling at some fat douchebags on a movie set? Who care if she doesn’t talk to the fat douchebag crew? It’s a job, not a social gathering.If these crew members want someone to talk to, they should go get themselves facebook accounts, or god forbid an actual girlfriend/partner.
So because she’s attractive she has the right to be a rude, stupid bitch? Don’t think so. Stop making excuses for this pathetic excuse for a female/actress.
Re: Comments
This is just the Megan PR people spinning! So clear!
Okay, Cameron’s not a nightmare? Stone is not crazy? Even Nolan has his moments; it’s called directing. I’ve work with them all.
They have the worst and toughest job on the set. You are all a bunch of failed trolling executives out here.
There’s no way that letter was written by anyone other than Bay himself. If you’ve read anything else he wrote ever, you’ll notice his trademark mangled grammar. It’s Bay, he was just too chicken to sign it. I guess he’s as deficient in courage as he is in talent.
i wouldnt point fingers, im pretty sure it wasnt bay because he woulda just droped megan in the 2nd movie and got a new actor if he really hated working with her this much
I can only hope to work with such loyal crew members in the future, because this definitely needed to be told.
Also, I didn’t know Michael Bay dropped is fee by millions for Crew and California.
That’s impressive.
They’re not saying this is new in Hollywood. They’re overreacting because she accused MICHAEL BAY of being a “Hitler”, which was extremely rash.
Nikki, I’m Local 706. I did not work Transformers but I’ve worked along side the two people who wrote that letter. I don’t agree why they pushed it into public. They just wanted to make a point for a few more Thank You’s.
Do your readers really think the men and women in the backstage craft don’t deserve a little more respect?
Exactly Local 706. Enough already!
Megan who? Give me something interesting about Shia! =P But really, in the world of acting, how many people really hire according to the actor’s personality? If they can act and look the part, who cares how they are off set? She’s a gorgeous girl, and if in fact she is truly what the crew describes her as, I have to agree that I too have been fooled. If people walked away from Transformers admiring her that much, she has to have some talent in acting. I mean, she did make everyone believe that she is just another gorgeous girl with a great smile and a good heart. Plus didn’t she and Shia date? His judgement of people can’t be that off..can it?
Loyal Transformers Crew,
how do I love thee?
‘Tis the fact that I’m absolutely jealous you’ve worked with Michael Bay for so long!
I’m simply a movie fan and, after Ridley Scott, Michael Bay is my favorite director. I wish all of you continued success, and if Megan Fox doesn’t appreciate you…sitting in my theatre seat, I appreciate you!
Okay, children, lets all settle down.
Megan fox is doing her job. Now this is just another letter from the crew. probably someone thats jealous of her. how can we tell if all of this about megan fox is true?
and…its her job. she doesn’t have to socialize with the crew.
she’s also pretty busy, so dont blame her if she wants to hrry and finish everything.
There’s a difference between “doing your job” and being professional on the job. According to this article and multiple reports I have heard from people unfortunate enough to interview her, she’s completely carried by the crew.
And yeah, she’s completely busy, you know, she spends all those hours setting up sets before anyone else is awake. She puts on all her makeup in the morning and picks out her appropriate wardrobe for the set. Really.
Part of professionalism entails a certain degree of acknowledging and respecting the work that other people put into getting the job done. She won’t be able to think past her stuck-up self until she learns something beyond trying unsuccessfully to recite lines.
I had the “pleasure” to interview Megan Fox this year. I so believe every word the crew writes. She was the most unprofessional actress I’ve ever interviewed. Very unfriendly, very conceited and unrespectful. Beauty is not a pass for everything…
I love it. It’s about time somebody said the truth about her. Everyone knows she’s a bad actress, but yea, now we know she’s a jerk too.
Megan Fox is a vacuous moron, much like the rest of Hollyweird. I don’t care what you Megan koolaide-drinkers say about Bay the fact remains that SHE is a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. I’ve heard her speak such idiocy on several occasions and am convinced she is mentally disabled. I can easily believe this story based on her previous public rants.
This is what happens to people of low moral character when they suddenly acquire fame. That and the fact they feel guilty over their unearned success pretending to be other people. Megan, no matter what you say the fact remains you will never be anything more than an empty husk devoid of any meaningful contribution to society. And when you get your first wrinkle you are history. Can’t wait.
“I’m in the local 706, I know one of the people who wrote the letter.”
Um, yeah, Michael Bay.
Okay I think it’s pretty obvious that Megan Fox is hot. It’s also obvious that she doesn’t act well. She IS only famous because of Michael Bay. If it weren’t for Bay, Fox would still be a nobody. Okay, maybe somebody with a really hot body, but has no real accomplishments. The most she could probably become are maybe a Victoria Secret model, or yeah–a porn star. She leaves her mouth open in all her photos like one anyway. And okay, I understand that a lot of you wrote that she doesn’t have any responsibilities to watch how she acts or what she says for those who look up to her, but really now? Always using the F word in every sentence? She doesn’t need to clean up her foul mouth for other people, but maybe she should just do it for herself. Sheesh.
suddenly, I hate michael bay a little bit less and megan fox a whole lot more
I work with that guy Bay. His sets are pretty much fun. You guys all sound like a gaggle of angry hollywood types. He gets the job done. He knows what he’s doing more then some of the other guys I’ve worked for where you just sit and sit why they learn to direct on the job!
Heck I’ll write a letter.
There’s no way 3 crew members gathered to collaborate on this.
They’re all so paranoid about getting fired, yet drop strong hints at what their job on both sets?
If low level crew (wardrobe, PA, camera assistant, low level AD it sounds like) expect the talent to be their friends, holy shit get out the industry right now.
Production sets are the most clique-heavy environments you’ll ever find outside of high school. The idea of 3 people from totally different branches (especially camera people; they only ever hang out with other camera people and do nothing but talk about camera models with each other) becoming so buddy buddy that they not only hang out all the time between movies, but get on the hotline together to activate wonder triplet powers whenever someone says something mean about a director they worked with is completely fucking out there. Even more ridiculous is the idea of low-level crew even having a conversation with their directors; I doubt they exchanged more than 2 sentences with him put together across both movies.
Producers are the biggest dicks on the planet. There is an entire law of physics devoted to showing how it is impossible for them to be decent human beings. Michael Bay comes with the Jerry Bruckheimer stamp of approval, a producer’s director if there ever was one.
“He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.”
Can you really imagine a low level crew member giving a shit about behind the scenes fees/location battles, or even being aware of it?
And yeah, you just have to Google “michael bay ‘a’ game” to see where that quote came from.
Get real all you conspiracy theorist! You have way too much time on your hands. You really think This director cares? The critics trash him and his movies make a boat load every time! Everything has been said about him, and almost anyone successful in this biz. If he wanted to write something he would of done it two weeks ago when the Hitler thing was on the net. Duh.
Nikki somehow I think their grammar smells like a bunch of Megan Publicity? What do you think?
megan fox is just a young truly uneducated girl, expectations here are out whack. having said that, second Transformers wasn’t very good.
Hypothetically, MB picks MF out of relative obscurity, says or does whatever one says or does the get the point across that she gets naked with him an the jobs hers. Then she gets big and publicly bitch slaps him cause she’s pissed she gave him oral or knocked boots or whatever. He’s pissed she won’t do it again and that she publicly bitch slapped him. He writes a fugazi letter from imaginary crew members. Then me and all of you care enough to read and write about it? Sounds about right.
Look for all we know Megan might have a few issues she has yet to be revealed. She might suffering from some kind of mental illness. I my self have Social Anxiety. I don’t like hanging around with people too much. Megan has said it herself she is like a hermit. Just let her be. She’s not out there snorting coke, or getting DUI’s, or making sex tapes to become famous. She might have a few issues, but she is trying to keep them to what little privacy she has left.
Wow, look at all these comments posted by the people who wish they knew Megan Fox. Is there not a website that I can find without envious women or emo dudes that have free reign to comment?
“Beauty is not a pass for everything…” — I’m sorry but your mother was lying to you.
Megan’s nasty comment about having half the country murdered if she could by “megatron” because they don’t believe the filth she’s into was a sign of what she was personally on a regular basis. These people are brave for speaking out.
Now I am waiting for a lengthy letter from the Transformers cast apologizing for making two pieces of shit like the two Transformers movies and telling us who is to blame for the 400-odd minutes of wasted but very loud time. Show me that I will start to believe their sincerity and honesty.
I do believe this was Micheal Bay because if crew members actually did write this for publication they should get fired.
I loved this, I am so easily entertained. Who the hell needs Jerry Springer when we have such creativity to enjoy here.
I now think Hollywood people are a lot smarter than they appear in conversations, maybe from now on I will request written responses when I chance to interact with someone from some cast or crew.
Thank you to the Transformer crew members for letting people know how this Megan Fox really is. I really can’t stand looking at this porn star and whatever she has to say. I would not spend a dime to see any of the movies she is in.
-realtransformerscrewmember-
you are an idiot!
“This is from a real Transformers crew member( only on the good one- didn’t do the Bay run shitty second one) and I can tell you one thing there is no way that you could ever find three crew members who support Bay period. I was asked back for the second and said no way, life is too short. Megan is a doll to work with and the “real crew” will stand behind her 100 percent.”
There are more than three that will stand up for BAY. Well, maybe not standup for him, but certainly state that FOX ain’t no doll!
Behaving like a child, participating in illegal activities and making people wait until you can get your shit together to step out of your trialer…ain’t no doll. I know the “real crew”, and you, sir or ma’am aint one of them.
I’m left to think both sides are true. Michael Bay probably is an asshat; but as a director he has earned the right to be, to some degree. And mabye he has to be, because if the Christian Bale incident has taught us anything – -a director who can’t keep his set on lock is barely a director at all.
I wouldn’t be suprised if Ms. Fox is a trashy asshat as well. In her case, however, she has not paid her dues to the point where it could be excused. If she had put more time in and had a couple films under her belt where her thermite-like hotness was not the apparent reason she was cast, I’d give her a slight pass as well. But she’s still a H’wood n0ob, and can understand why Bay/3 random crew members/whomever basically put her on blast.
*T*
Holy cow I noticed all you guys crying about them not leaving their name you either must not have jobs, or have enough money to not realize some people NEED theirs.
I also think that if you build your image up to be a sex symbol like the Maralyn tattoo on your arm then you kinda have it coming to you when you get treated like a porn star… you sold sex to get your fame,then why is it shocking when thats all you have when people realize theres nothing beyond the pretty face?!?!? Lastly I am just bummed at the idea jerks like this that have everything handed to them on a platter have no clue of hard work or appreciation for all they have been GIVEN…and worse lack the skills to be polite or grateful about it.
MEGAN – 0
CREW – instant win
Sounds more like a few crew members that didn’t get the attention they felt they expected from the star.
You’re the crew guys (girls)…get over it. She comes to work, not to socialize with the help.
I have not one single problem believing a word of this article, after Ms. Fox’s classless remarks juxtaposing Middle America with Transformers.
Thanks for confirming what many of us had already heard about Ms. Fox.
I enjoy when actors and other performers state their opinions and then get bent out of shape when people react negatively to it. Ms. Fox should be prepared for the redneck masses to avoid her films but I’m sure higher thinkers will happily carry her through her career.
Yeah. Her future career as a body double in a porno. She’s not talented enough to be an actual porn star.
The moral of this story, boy’s and girl’s, is don’t fuck with the crew…they are the one’s who make you look good, and hell hath no furry than a crew member that got treated bad.
Megan Fox is a teen still practically so she is going to say stupid shit that going to make someone look bad. boo hoo everyone does it. its publicity. as you can see she started saying shit and then “crew members” wrote back but at the end of it there was this:
Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!
Well i wonder how many fans looked up something about the third film?
I really think Michael Bay wrote that… to get it off his chest.
He is realllyyy pissed off by her. I think he hates her.
WHY THE FCK WOULD MICHAEL BAY WRITE A LETTER SLANDERING HER STAR ACTRESS?!?! That would be bad for Transformers III, and for the chemistry on his set. Only a stupid doofus who doesn’t know about what being a movie director about would jump into that conclusion.
Either this was really written by a crew member, or someone who has insider info, and just wanted to stir things up for anonymous fame.
Wow MF just needs to keep her mouth shut and a appreciate all she has and the great people she has to work with.
I have to say its about time….i’ve worked in front of the camera and behind and let me tell ya…these crew members put up with so many thankless people. Its these thankless people that give actors a bad rap and they should be called out on their unacceptable behavior. It was pure satisfaction reading that letter by the crew members….Megan Fox will now think twice about her rude behavior and it will end up saving her career. Lips and Boobs will get you famous but its true talent and grace that will make you the next Angelelina Jolie or Charlize Theron.
Look, I have no first hand experience dealing With Michael Bay or Megan Fox but why does the personality of either of them matter? People go to see MB movies for the explosions, not because they want to be friends with him. As for Megan fox, even if she is a bitch, does it matter? Hollywood is full of egotistical assholes, so why is it all of a sudden this huge tragedy if she is also one? People pay to go see movies that Megan fox is in because of how hot they think she is, I don’t think that they listen to or care what she thinks or says. I think all this trash talk, from everyone, is ‘thankless, classless and graceless’. SUCK IT UP! Stop worrying about things that don’t affect you. For those that it does affect, who cares if MB or Megan fox are assholes, its your job to deal with people like that and if you don’t like it, quit! Because obviously you’re in the wrong line of work.

beautiful body with a rotten brain.
it’s true. perfection doesn’t exist.
I think we are all forgetting the REAL victim in this sad tale.
maybe instead of the pyramids, someone should force her to visit the museum of tolerance. btw, megan: generally speaking, the first person to compare the other to hilter or a nazi automatically loses. loser.
Megan Fox is an uneducated, arrogant b*tch. She didn’t even graduate from high school. What kind of waste-of-space idiot thinks she can treat her coworkers like that? I hope she drops off the face of the earth.
I believe it. Megan Fox’s PR people are the only reason why we all don’t know the dirty details about her in the first place. Her PR team is paid to make her look good, so I’m glad you guys stepped up and exposed the truth.
Petty Hollywood bickering, so much fun to read! *rolleyes*
she’s still smokin’ hot
am i the ONLY one who never thought she was hot?
seriously, there was always something about her i didnt like, and DAMN! shes too skinny. as Bay told her – eat a freaking hamburger!
Trust me, you’re not the only one. She looks WAY too much like an Angelina wannabe for me, and I don’t think Angelina’s pretty, either.
what is the deal with the bruce willis vs the crew comment?
I never really thought she was a good actress. In the transformers movies she is ACTING. Which sounds odd I know but when someone acts you don’t want to watch them and say “oh they are acting” you want them to say something about there character. It is pretty funny how she is a miss. queen B with only two movies. I am an aspiring director and i have never and would never put up with someone like her. I would jsut say, “you don’t like it, leave. Get the fuck off my set. Have a nice career.”
holy crap. which part of “below the line” do you not understand. if you don’t like your job because of the people you have to work with, then quit. your famous director makes crappy films. and if you’re on the crew, that means YOU make crappy films. box office is for the studio. film is for the people. crap is crap any way you jump cut it.
This is what happens to young actors guys. she’s still learning
Just out of curiosity I was stupid enough to read a few of these comments, and I have concluded that you are All part of the Sad Sack of humanity that believe actors/actresses are the new religion and that they should all be squeaky clean, THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS just like the rest of us, we (just like them) all say and do stupid things during our life time, so let it be get some perspective and worry about all of the gross & unjust things that are happening around the world
did you ever think that maybe whoever wrote this letter, whether it was really michael bay or actually three crewmembers, may have misread her comment. sure she compared him to Hitler but she probably said it sarcastically. if you’ve ever seen her in an interview, not reading one but actually hearing her say the words than you’d know she’s very sarcastic. and who cares if she didn’t want to go to the pyramids it’s not like she wouldn’t being seeing them pretty much all the time. and it’s pretty low to mention someone’s childhood. people compare other people to Hitler all the time and don’t mean it literally. there’s also no reason to call her dumb-as-a-rock, future porn star, trailer trash, etc. it’s a shame people have to be so childish after someone makes a harmless, probably sarcastic, comment. oh yeah her good looks don’t give her the right to say whatever she wants, the first amendment does; and she was probably comparing the set of transformers to the set of jennifer’s body, in which case she’s probably right calling it dangerous.
You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.
these crew members sound like the jealous catty ones. with those types of crew on set, why would she say hello back? as if she couldn’t tell they were all jealous bitches? not to mention, maybe she is someone whose style it is to stay to herself to stay in character and not get distracted… or maybe she didn’t want to get on the set and wait around for JT b/c she didn’t want to be around the clearly mean and nasty crew. if i were the director, and i knew who the three authors of this letter were, i’d fire them on the spot. clearly, they have gotten too big for their britches, have made it an unpleasant set for the stars (dear crew: your mugs aren’t plastered on the screen and personal life ruined- you are NOT equal and from the bitchy behavior, do not deserve to be treated as such), and are JEALOUS fools. i am so impressed that meghan speaks her mind and hope these jealous queens don’t ruin that.
Yosemite Posted this on September 12, 2009.
To those who are wondering about the Bruce Willis comment, a reporter asked him why his films cost so much to make, Bruce said that it was because were overpaid (this from somone making $15m a film.) After this came out, Bruce had parked his car on the Universal lot and when he came back found his car covered with spit. Or maybe Nikki is talking about another time.
Comment by Yosemite — September 12, 2009 @ 1:41 pm
As for myself I believe these crew members, and actors who are vile such as Megan do not deserve to be working in the industry, even if they are ’smokin hot’ imho.
“It’s all part of the show, folks. Just all part of the show.”
- the Airshow promoter from “The Rocketeer”
To Rodney & Yosemite-
Bruce Willis said that the reason the movie (think it was Hudson Hawk) cost so much to make in the United States was because of the unions..since then, he worked mostly in the U.S and has since re-tracted the statement.
It was not a bash against the union crew or the US…just a question with an answer that got everybody hot.
I’ve worked with him on more than 7 movies (as I.A. below the line) and he has answered that many times.
Wow, you guys are something else!! You do realize that this Michael Bay, and Megan Fox, don’t even know you exist!! All of ya are about to start a war over people that don’t even know you walk this earth…… Sad!!
Megan Fox is one of hundreds of actors who acts on sets the way most actors act on sets. Why is everyone surprised? This is the typical way that most actors carry themselves when they are on set. Sure, her acting isn’t spectacular, but then again, neither are the roles she’s been given. One thing is for sure, if they were to make a movie on “Wonder Woman”, Megan Fox would be perfect for that role.
To the guy who talked shit about Brian De Palma. No offense, but are you dellusional? The man has made masterpieces that were box-office failures like “Obsession”, “The Fury”, “Blow Out”, “Scarface”, “Body Double”, “Casualties of War” and “Carlito’s Way”, besides masterpieces that were financial sucesses like “Carrie”, “Dressed to Kill”, “The Untouchables” and “Mission: Impossible”. Michael Bay is nowhere near De Palma as a filmmaker. I’ve nothing particularly against Bay’s vapid films, they’re entertaining and show his point of view, something that is lacking in a lot of moviemaking nowadays,but De Palma is a movie god.
Let me guess why you all support Megan Fox… she’s hot.
Seriously. That’s it. Nothing else. She’s not interesting, smart or intelectual. But most men don’t need a smart woman. I guess that for f*cking, she’s perfect. As a man myself I want a woman who I can speak to, who has a brain and who is polite. If I want a hot b*tch to f*ck daily I can just go to the United States… that’s all there seems to be around there. Luckily in England we’ve got beautiful AND smart women. Poor teenage girls that have to get compared to her all the time. Then we ask why teens cut themselves, commit school shootings or suicide. If we give them these standards it’s obvious. I just wished there would be better examples out there. If we only went back to John Lennon, The Stones and Bob Dylan. Back to when talent mattered more than looks. But people are just so shallow now.
“If I want a hot b*tch to f*ck daily I can just go to the United States… that’s all there seems to be around there.”
How nice. You know people say the same thing about the women in the UK. There are beautiful and smart women in the US, you are just to prejudice to see them my good sir.
Anyway , this sounds believable. If I was given such a huge role , being a noob and below mediocre actress, I’d keep my opinions to myself for the sake of my career. But that’s what he gets when he hires her just for the looks. Same thing happens when you try to bang a chick without knowing if she’s a little kookie in the head, and then crying because she glued your balls to your legs.
Just my two cents.
ROFL.
Megan Fox has a heftier Anti-Fan Base than Osama Bin Laden.
Oh yes.. I agree with the crew completely when they say she doesn know how to act..
My goodness, just trying to make a celebrity look bad are we? Well, I think you 3 have a lot of time on your hands. And do YOU really know her? I don’t think so. I don’t even think you are part of the Transformers Crew. “We can’t give our names.” Simply bullshit. Good day Assholes.
This argument is bizarre. They both did their jobs well.
Bay’s job is to make a film the target audience wants. He did that well.
Megan’s job is to provide something for teenage boys to masturbate to. She did that well.
So what if she doesn’t reach some higher standard of ‘acting’?
You are criticizing her for not doing something that ISN’T HER JOB.
She did her job well.
That’s all that matters.
I support the article, thought it was awesome in fact. Megan is unprofessional, ungrateful and uneducated. It’s pretty bad when her colleagues don’t respect her and her crew hates her! haha She needs to learn some humility and get over herself.
Wow.Get a grip..she is still so young.. I cannot even enjoy these movies anymore because of all the smack talk surrounding Megan Fox and shia Labeouf..I have been a transformers fan since I was five..I have studied method acting since I was six and have never seen anyone with better timing then shia. They have great on screen chemistry..In the first film Megan came across as man’s next great hope ummm and correct me if I am wrong but was that not her job..As a movie goer I need to let it be herd that I think this line of back lash is prepubescent and cruel.People love to get lost in the story. so let us have that..be kind to your fellow worker and keep this neophyte’s mind set to yourself it is simply distorting these films
I actually believe this. She’s very pretty but for some reason she does seem like the kind of pretty face who just puts up a nice front. It’s stupid of her to call the guy who basically made her something, “hitler.” Although I really could care less, I don’t know the actress so it doesn’t bother me much, but I do feel for the crew and Michael. This honestly just makes me not want to ever try to meet Megan.
wow i really didnt know she was like this i always taught she was kinda kool but hey da truth came out sad 2 say fame does change people
I just finished reading this. The letter and comments are hilarious! Most of you are illiterate, or just can’t type. I am a crew member who deals with actors up close every day, and let me tell you, we expect them to be kind and respectful to us. The pros are.
Whatever fact.. This post could be a PR for TR3.. People love controversy
Wow. I love that the people who DON’T know her are getting defensive. Just because she’s young doesn’t mean she can’t take up for herself and by now she should know that if you’re going to trash talk someone, it’s going to come back to hit you eventually. If she can deal with heat and stop thinking her shit smells like roses, then she doesn’t deserve to get the parts. Period. There are WAY better actors, some just as pretty, that can take her spot and have a better attitude while doing it.
-Sam Mitchell-
This is pathetic.
Fox = pretty face.
Bay = bombastic auteur.
Combo = volatile.
Why does any of this surprise anyone?
Bombastic auteur, says Eeeesh. Bay may be bombastic, but he is also the 7th highest grossing director of all time.
Bob
I can see all movies and tv show the Megan were in…. SHE CAN NOT ACT PERIOD!!. She got in the business by looking hot, but you need some talent to continue on making mainstream films. The 3 crew workers talked about something about Angelina Jolie…. Her dad is Jon Voight. He was in “2007 Transformers” as Secrectary of Defense. Angelina has trait for acting from her dad. Megan is no Angelina. Megan keeps on bad-mouthing about directors or important people in the industry. Industry will block her from acting in movies…then only movies she will be making are the blue ones. Megan take acting lessons and quit trash talking. “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” Hell that I wish that Michael Bay has me one of his action films like “Bad Boys”. I would not talking trash about him. I would be very grateful though. Sorry readers for my ranting
SHOW RESPECT FOR US FILM CREWS… COME ON!!! – thats all I’m asking for…
MAYBE both are right. Michael Bay can be a bastard on set, but it is HIS set. I’ve seen him make crew members cry, and he intimidates young actors. My friends and I were exposed to flying bits of shrapnel during a stunt on “The Island” movie, but we just ran like hell! The safety net for Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor ripped! Michael screamed like a madman at everyone all day long. BUT, he knows how to make good movies that bring in money and a great cinematic experience and put these young actors over the hump in their careers. He does expect the best in everyone and there are a lot of lazy ass crew/cast that need a good kick in the teeth with their overworked and underpaid attitudes. If you don’t like it just quit, or wake up and act like a pro! I’d love for Michael to scream me into fame! Even though she has a right to her own opinion, if Megan is just another pretty face it will show eventually and Michael will keep on directing good movies.
- Fox: Shit actress.
– Bay: Shit director.
– Fox: A massive twat off screen.
– Bay: Just a massive twat.
+ Fox: Hot as fuck.
+ Bay: Good action sequences.
+ Fox: Features in films for boys.
+ Bay: Makes films for boys.
So good and bad points really. Both are dildos really.
Oh and also actors, directors, film crews and pretty much every dick head who reckons they are billy big bollocks in Hollywood are just clowns paid to amuse the rest of us.
HA HA this was fun. I should do this more often. Joining in with you internet geeks and (so called) ex-Hollywood loosers was good for wasting a few minutes.
Night all.
In this case… HEIL BAY!
First of all, if you’re going to bring into question another person’s intellect, at least proofread your own “rant”.
Other than that, I’m not really shocked. Even from her interviews, you can tell Megan is a little dim. I hate that people compare her to Angelina Jolie. Angelina is not my most favorite actress in the world, and I actually think she’s really overrated, but she has more charisma in her little toe than Megan will ever have in her entire life. Megan couldn’t hold a candle to Angelina in terms of looks or talent.
Megan is pretty, but pretty girls are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. It takes more than being attractive to make a lasting impression, and she doesn’t have more than attractive. In a few years I’m sure she’ll go the way of other former “it” girls who only had looks to go on, and fade away into obscurity, maybe clinging desperately to the B-list with Direct to DVD movies and a reality TV show for a little while. Just look at Tara Reid (who actually had more film success than Megan has had so far, which says a lot).
Look at transformers 1 when she was in the tow truck, she has dents all over her face and you horn dogs are defending her because you think she’s hot. lol.
Anyone who is as unappreciative of a big break in life, as she seems to be, doesn’t deserve a big break in the first place. It’s truely a shame those things can’t be undone. Too many deserving people struggle their entire lives and never get one.
Come on guys. She’s a kid. Remember some of the trash you said, when you were 23 ??
Let’s face it, there are plenty of bastard directors in Hollywood. I know crew that swear they’ll never work with Oliver Stone again. I know crew that dreaded working with Robert Altman. I’ve heard lousy things about Tony Scott, etc. However, directors don’t seem to be a dime-a-dozen like pretty faces and hot bods. Megan is a flavor-of-the-month. She is slowly ending her own popularity one comment at a time.
i do not care how she acts. She has a great body and has that tough personality that reflects off sam/ shia.
who ever wrote this has NO LIFE. Pointing out the negative on another person? If michael Bay is sooooooo smart and such a great producer then he has her for a reason.
They are the perfect couple the make the mood more dramatic while fighting is going on there cant be a better mix.
From the scene where she calls him a little girl to the scene she crys over him dying. before he resurects. u cant do anybetter.
y wuld she say hi 2 people she dusnt know
especially when she dusnt hav a reason to giv a shit about them.
