‘Transformers’ Crew Letter Responds to Bay Bashing, Tells What Megan Fox is Like on the Set

In a Rare Change, Megan Fox Puts Something Besides Her Foot in Her Mouth

An autograph session and fan event for the film Jennifer’s Body was held at the Hot Topic store in Hollywood recently. This constitutes an act of cosmic irony, because in my mind, the Hollywood Hot Topic is exactly where Megan Fox should be working. (I’d like to refer to her as a trailer park blow-up doll filled with hot air, but I consider that an insult to trailer parks and blow-up dolls.)

At any rate, she commented on her frequent inelloquent quotes in the press, saying, “Ninety-eight percent of the things that come out of my mouth are intended to be harmless or even charming. They’re not ever intended to be offensive or controversial.”

I imagine you’ll remember her charming comments on Transformers’ director Michael Bay that called him socially awkward and compared him to Hitler.

Well, a few crew members that worked on the Transformers movies have gotten to together and written a typo-laden diatribe in response to Fox’s criticisms of the director.

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!

-Loyal Transformers Crew

The crew requested that Michael publish the letter on his personal website, but Bay is a bit more diplomatic than that. Instead, he published a post that reads:

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.

In other words, she’s making him money and getting him free publicity, so he’ll keep her around for now.

  • Im hoping that you see this then delete it after you USE YOUR DAMN SPELLCHECK. Jesus christ. The weekend posts on this site look like they are written by 10 year olds.

  • Wow, I can take the spelling errors but I can’t take the 2 week old news that’s being reported. I think this article was on most websites, weeks ago. What’s happening with Evil Beet these days?

  • Well, I myself don’t read any other gossip blogs/entertainment news, so I wouldn’t have been able to read about this if it hadn’t been posted here.
    But it definitely would have been nice to either get this story earlier, or not have everyone in the comments saying this story is old.
    I’m not blaming anyone at all; I’m just saying, “Blah.”

  • It was my understanding that the crew members did post the open letter to the Transformers blog. Bay “unpublished” it soon after, replacing the post with his positive words about Fox.

    • I think she is just on weekdays now.
      I wrote a comment in another story but maybe it wasn’t worthy.
      I have logged in here twice in the last couple of days, not only are the stories out of date, there are barely any to read. I am not sure what is going on, especially with such an increased “roster” of writers but really, this website is just not what it used to be. And for those that would say, fine, don’t log on if you don’t like it, that is exactly my point.
      yawn.

  • I didn’t know about the this story until now; wow, it’s great to get a chance to hear from the other side. I never really liked her before, but I always figured the instant fame and catapult to glory wouldn’t help in building her real character.

  • Wow I thought this was gonna be an update on that story when I read the title. More up to date stories please!We need more updates and breaking stories to stay hooked on EB or else the readers will go elsewhere. More Sasha and Wendie writing pleeeeeeease :)

  • Well, everybody’s finally noticing what I have already said before about this site being slow, behind the news, and not what it used to be. Beet is too busy buying and applying new makeup and making videos about it. She had a great thing going here but her lack of self-esteem which causes her to have to have her ego incessantly pumped up, is getting in the way of her success.
    People who have truly successful enterprises stay on top of the business at all times, keeping a sharp eye on the day-to-day running of the operation, even when they have employees. I know Beet is smart but she’s not putting her all into this anymore. She either doesn’t really care, doesn’t understand the importance of staying on the top of her game, or just doesn’t really get it. (That was obvious when she put the makeup video on this site.) A few bucks could be well spent on a consultation with some experts on how to run a website, because although this thing had great upside potential not that long ago, it is going down th tubes fast and it’s kind of sad to see. I don’t know the girl, but to have a good thing going and then just let it go down the tubes, well, what a waste.

    • I totally agree, this site is nothing like what it was a year or two ago. Now growth and change is a good thing, unless of course when it’s for the worse. I seriously thought there was a malfuntion & for some reason posts from more than two weeks ago were showing up as new ones! I’m all for different opinions, styles of writing, & non-stop Linsday bashing (I can’t drink while reading whenever she talks about “working” for I’ll choke & I don’t know how to self apply the hiemlich, but I digress), but when it’s redundant writings that are often a week or two old, I gotsta say something!

    • Hear, hear. Zelda Lily has original articles (rather than the copy and pasted blurbs the EB site relies on) but the downside of that is the writer(s) poorly research what they’re writing, if they bother at all. Added to that, the posts are heavily based on the writer(s) emotional stance on the subject, rather than being written from an objective view. Maria Mercedes made a pretty bad faux pas over the whole Tila Tequila situation, and well.. Molly isn’t exactly a popular author on either site. Wendie has been doing a great job, but Sasha has seriously been dropping the ball for a while.

      Personal lives need to be seperate from work lives, or if a person decides to intermingle the two, both aspects need attention. I remember when EB was a quirky, witty website. Now, I just go to Perez first, because I know the girls are just highlighting and right-clicking, for the most part.

  • So I guess the next “breaking news” will be that Michael Jackson died, Chris Brown beat up Rihanna after a Grammy Party, and Lindsay Lohan does cocaine! Wow, what exclusives!

    I mean come on, Michael Bay & another crew memeber have already both written letters disputing this one. Like I said, this site is so not what it was a year or two ago. If you are going to hire help, at least have someone who doesn’t write the same wit-free posts that are a week or 2 old.

  • I agree with most of the above. I’ve been reading this site for more than a year now, and this is getting ridiculous. I’m not entertained anymore. The interval between posts is getting longer and longer it seems, and the stuff being posted here isn’t witty, smart or even current.
    More writers doesn’t equal quality writing, it equals half-assed work from four writers, and a diffused sense of responsibility for producing what is now a crappy site.

  • I too thought this was an update to a (now old) story. Was seriously bummed to read that not only was it a rehash, but it was inaccurate. Yuck. I’m a relative newcomer to this site but I don’t think I’ll be spending much time here. Not just because of this story, but the slippage I’ve noted in the last few months and now the comments that the site was going downhill before I came here.

  • FINALLY! Looks like we have a quorum. I’m almost to the point of moving over to Perez’s website. I’m bored by the infantile comments here recently, but I thought maybe I’m just too old to be reading this website. I miss Beet’s wit and humor of a while back. Get rid of the newcomers Molls, Kelly and Wendie and go back to the old format – or else just close up shop and move on.

  • um. wasnt this same story on this site like last week? if not it was probably on geekologie… everyone who’s dissatisfied with this site should go to geekologie and then click on gossip, its a really great site

  • You dont condone the crew letter?? I fully fucking condone it. Why do they have to suffer under her shit attitude. If this is the only way that she’ll be taught a lesson she should have learned from her mother, so be it. I love this quote “we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park” hahaha.

    • and this isnt the first time ive heard of this crap…
      but whatever ppl can beleive whatever the hell they want but this is bullshit, i never really believe most of the shit said on the internet, because most of its not true at all so,
      fuck this website its slow anyway! ahah

  • ppl can believe whatever the hell they wanna believe but this is just stupid. I dont believe a lot of the shit said on the internet anyway, some of it is totally true but this wow, im sure yes Megan Fox probably is a little too confident in herself but she said herself in an interview that she has low self-esteem. she even said, “I’m really insecure about everything. I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike. My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. I’m too short. But overall, I’m not super excited about the whole thing. I never think I’m worthy of anything… I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing. Self-loathing doesn’t keep me from being happy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle. I am very vulnerable.” …………..

    i think all of that was a lie, and i think they were just saying that crap to get back at her, whatever believe what you want but i dont believe it, ive heard this over a million times, fuck this website, its slow anyways this stories old and not even true!

    • This story is old now. It was not, however, old in September– when it was posted. And it’s called gossip for a reason.

  • I think the dumb-as-a-rock Transformers crew are tedious, dumb, ungracious, rude, absolute trailer trash who had previous experience in filming porn movies and probably enjoyed filming Megan Fox’s ass. They’re also lying filthy traitors if not loyal to their formulaic director.
