Steven Spielberg Demanded Megan Fox Be Fired from 'Transformers' after Hitler Comment

By Christo Varghese Posted Jun 20th 2011 03:30AM

It has been reported that Steven Spielberg demanded that actress Megan Fox be fired from the third 'Transformers' movie after she compared director Michael Bay to Hitler.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Bay revealed that he was told to get rid of Fox, saying, "You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, fire her right now."

Spielberg is the executive producer of the 'Transformer' movies and Fox was replaced by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the latest installation of the 'Transformers' series called 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon.'

Fox shot into the limelight after the first two 'Transformers' movie and it was due to her performance in them which helped her to be named one of the sexiest people in the world.

The drama between Fox and Bay started in 2009 when she told London's Wonderland Magazine, "[Bay] 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."

Fox continued. "He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."

Bay later on went to say that he was not hurt by the said the Hitler comment.

But others did not share the 25-year-old actress view and in an open letter on Bay's website a crew member defended the director, writing, "We've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both 'Transformers' movies."

I think that what she said was incredibly stupid and annoying - but Megan Fox is known for continuously saying stupid and annoying things. The thing is, I think that she should have been taken aside and talked to very seriously about why what she said was wrong. But fired? No. I don't agree that what she said was bad enough to be fired for. This is PCism run amok, I'm afraid.

The Holocaust is just another ponzi scheme and Spielberg knows all about it. 6 million? WHERE it the hard evidence? Seriously people grow up you are being lied to.

Spielberg is using his heritage as a sword and shield. What gives him the right to demand that she been fired? The fact that he did this shows an arrogance that has nothing to do with anything anti-semitic. Spielberg is just full of himself, controlling, and fulfilling the Jewish stereotype. It's wrong to always want grace but to never give any.

She's just a pretty girl with a big head. Getting famous makes her head grow bigger I guess. Respect goes a long way and what she said sure says a lot about her. What a shame.

Number one rule in life: NEVER disrespect your superiors.
It doesn't matter who you are, this isn't some sort of male power trip, if you talk about your boss that way you're going to get fired. End of story.
And certain topics should not be talked about lightly, the Holocaust is one of them.

louis vuitton replica business as usual. Enda Kenny did indeed break an election party promise (and a personal one, no matter how he puts it), and replica lv bags, as a result, rather than having a meaningful debate on whether or not these replica lv bags should be closed, we have a bout of handbags over who said what.
