Or something like that anyway.

Ever since it was revealed that Megan Fox would not be returning for the third instalment of the Transformers movie franchise, Transformers: The Dark of the Moon, those behind the movies have maintained that Fox, who played Sam Witwicky’s love interest Mikaela Banes, left on her own accord.

However, in the build up to the latest film, it has been revealed by the director of all three instalments, Michael Bay that she was fired under orders of executive producer Stephen Speilberg over comments she had made with regard to Bay.

In 2009, Fox, in an interview with Wonderland Magazine said “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”

On getting wind of this, Speilberg made the decision to have Fox written out of the third instalment, where she will be replaced by british actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely, playing Sam’s new love interest Carly.
