Megan Fox and Michael Bay | 33

Wondery
About this episode

After a successful run in the first two Transformers films, it seemed certain that Hollywood starlet Megan Fox would return for the franchise's third movie. But her comparison of Transformers director Michael Bay to Hitler in an interview completely derailed those plans. The situation escalated when an anonymous scathing letter from the film's crew about Megan Fox was posted on Bay's website. In this episode, we're diving into the drama, unraveling how this feud was a precursor to Hollywood's simmering issues that were about to boil over.
