Megan Fox Had A Brutally Honest Take On Her Transformers 3 Exclusion

In a 2017 interview with Cosmopolitan UK, Megan Fox opened up about her very public firing from the "Transformers" franchise. Fox admitted that, while it was a tough moment for her, she is glad it happened, as it allowed her to grow and realize that she should have owned up to her mistake by apologizing.

Fox said, "That was absolutely the low point of my career. But without – 'that thing,' I wouldn't have learned as quickly as I did. All I had to do was apologize — and I refused. I was so self-righteous at 23, I couldn't see [that] it was for the greater good. I really thought I was Joan of Arc." The actress added that it was essential that she figure out that the situation had been her fault before she was able to move on and grow from the experience.

Before Fox spoke publicly to Cosmopolitan UK about the firing, she had already made amends with Michael Bay personally. Bay told GQ that Fox had reached out and revealed that he had forgiven his former collaborator. Bay explained, "She sent me a text three months ago. She said, 'I hope you're doing well.' I responded, 'Who is this?' She goes, 'Megan, you dork!' I said, 'Oh, well, thank you, hope you're well.' When you're days and months on a set, it's like a family. You say rude things and you make up."
