Michael Bay finally spoke on why Megan Fox got fired from Transformers 3 – and it had to do with her comments about the on-set drama, not the drama itself.

“You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, fire her right now,” Bay told GQ Magazine. Spielberg is the executive producer on the films, and the Hitler thing refers to comments she made to Wonderland Magazine in 2009.

“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” Fox told the magazine. “He 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. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him.”

“I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan. Megan loves to get a response,” Bay said. “And she does it in kind of the wrong way. I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work twelve hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy.”

At any rate – she lost a huge payday! A lot of times people screw themselves when they do interviews. If Spielberg says “you’re fired” – you’re pretty much done!
