The day they ruined Megan Fox's career for denouncing that she was s-xualized at 15
The director of "Transformers" made her dance in a bikini and heels as part of the audition for the film. When she came out in 2009, she was branded "ungrateful" by the media.
In 2007, Megan Fox took the "honor" of being the most searched person on Google while magazines chose her as the most attractive woman in the world. The actress was 21 years old and had hardly done anything in the cinema until Michael Bay chose her to star in "Transformers", the film that would catapult her to fame despite the fact that her role was nothing more than a comparsa for the protagonist, Shia LaBeouf.
It was not yet the time for empowered women in Hollywood blockbusters and Megan Fox had to settle for teaching more than acting in a film with as much testosterone as explosions. Even so, the young woman managed to transcend the idea of "s-x symbol" to continue her career in the cinema.
A career that, on the other hand, never took off.
However, the producers did not have the young actress for the third installment due to a controversial interview she gave in 2009 in which she compared the director of the film, Michael Bay, with Adolf Hitler. A Twitter user has recovered this interview and has managed to make it go viral. «Clip from 2009 in which Megan Fox tells a story about Michael Bay in which she s-xualizes her when she was only 15 years old.
The audience laughs and host Kimmel makes rude jokes. Teenage girls who are attacked by older men have never taken themselves seriously and still haven't," he wrote on social media. "Megan Fox was s-xualized at age 15 when Michael Bay made her dance in a bikini and heels and wash her car as part of her 'Transformers' audition. When she spoke out, she was labeled 'ungrateful' by the media and her career was destroyed by Bay and Steven Spielberg."
