I don't think we will every truly know if Megan Fox quit the Transformers trilogy or if she simply walked out.
When Megan left the trilogy,she had previously compared Director Michael Bay to Hilter, but never elaborated. Well now her co-star Shia LaBeouf says Megan didn't like the way he directed women:
"She developed this spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment stuff that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women,"
"Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It's summer. It's Michael's style. And I think she never got comfortable with it."
The actor added that the sexy actress was thrown into a role that turned her into a sex icon, and it was hard for her to swallow:
"This is is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it. When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We're on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There's no time for... 'I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees."

Back in 2009, Megan stabbed herself in the foot, when she told press that Michael was very hard to work for:
"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for, but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him."Things took a turn for a worst when the movie's crew members, posted a long open (anonymous) letter to Megan on the director's official website and signed it 'Loyal Transformers Crew'. As well as calling her "unbearable" to work with they said that she was ungrateful:
"Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actress's life. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and ogled 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, Angelina 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. 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."
Rosie has replaced Megan in the newest movie |
So she had very harsh comments back then. Swiftly she was dumped from the franchise or she quit (we'll never know), now in the latest flick Victoria's Secret Model Rosie Huntington Whitely has taken over Megan's role.
Do you think Megan should have stayed in the movie franchise?
