Kate Beckinsale confirms that Michael Bay has always been a dick
Simply fast-forwarding to any given moment in Transformers where Megan Fox appears on screen provides a pretty compelling argument that director Michael Bay maybe, just maybe—hear us out here—doesn’t have a dog-eared copy of The Second Sex sitting on his nightstand. But such assumptions, as obvious as they may be, are unnecessary, as Fox herself has opened her pretty little mouth on several occasions to condemn Bay’s behavior on set. Here’s what she told Jimmy Kimmel in 2009:
The first time I ever met him, I was 15, and I was an extra on Bad Boys 2. We were shooting this club scene, and they brought me in, and I was wearing a stars and stripes bikini and a red cowboy hat, and six-inch heels. And they took me to Mike and he approved it. And they said, ‘You know, Michael, she’s 15, so you can’t sit her at the bar and she can’t have a drink in her hand.’ So his solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath a waterfall getting soaking wet. And that’s… At 15 and I was in tenth grade. So that’s sort of a microcosm of how Bay’s mind works.
