Why Did Fox Leave "Transformers 3?"

fox_skinnyEver since the news broke that Megan Fox had parted with “Transformers 3,” Hollywood has been buzzing about why the actress left the role that made her a star.

Many assumed it was fallout from her public feud with director Michael Bay. Last summer, Fox was critical of Bay during the publicity tour for “Transformers 2″ and many speculated this carried over to the next installment.

That may be part of the reason, but The Wrap is reporting that the dispute between Bay and Fox wasn’t over just her comments, but about her weight. According to reports, Fox showed up for shooting as a size 0 and Bay felt that she was too thin and looked unhealthy for the role. Bay reportedly asked Fox to take some to look more healthy (reportedly asked to come back as a size two or four) and Fox balked, leaving the project.

We’ve included a picture of Fox in lingerie so you can determine whether or not she’s “too skinny.”

In the past, Fox has balked at Bay’s directives when it came to tanning for her role in the “Transformers” movies.

There is no official confirmation from either side that this is the reason Fox left the project.

    Do you think "the lack of any talent" might have a factor in it?
    She is attractive but not to die for.

    It's probably a mix of both but when you say bad stuff about the guy who made you I think that's the reason no matter what

    So who will the gobot get to gang rape in the next installment? After Tranformers 2, I just assumed she got out of it for her own good. Those wrecking balls on the one robot would be enough to scare anyone away...

    I finally after 20 years added JOHN WESTLY SHIPP to my collection and was able to have a great conversation with ANTHONY FOREST
    I also talked with MICHAEL BELL and asked was going to play the voice of an of the characters in the New TRANSFORMERS 3 movie
    For those of you who are not familiar with his history with the TRANSFORMERS he played the voice of PROWL, RAMJET, SWOOP, and SLAG, and according to rumors all of these Robots will be in the new movie.
    He informed me that he had auditioned for the parts he had played and was told HE WAS TOO OLD.
    Ladies and Gentlemen: THIS CAN NOT STAND! Mr. BELL in one of the reasons that THE TRANSFORMERS are the Icon they are today so I have decided to start a letter writing campaign to get MICHAEL BELL at least one out of these three parts.
    Below you will find the address to witch you can send a letter telling the production studio TO GIVE MR. BELL THE PART HE DESERVES
    I thank you in this and I know we as a group can make this right for such a fantastically famous actor
