Megan Fox Axed From ‘Transformers 3′

The news about Megan Fox has been released, she was axed from “Transformers 3,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.

A source said Megan, who played star Shia LaBeouf’s love interest in the film, would not return for the third movie.

The source said Samuel James Witwicky will be taking a new direction, and the production thinks it was better if Sam wasn’t tied down to a love interest.

However, on Wednesday night, representatives for the actress told People that it was Megan’s decision to leave the movie.

“Megan Fox will not be starring in ‘Transformers 3,’” the reps told the publication.

“It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

A spokesperson for Megan was not instantly available for any reaction when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Nikki Finke, who first reported the news for Deadline that Megan was out, said that decision was “ultimately” director Michael Bay’s.

At the same time, Bay’s rep was also not immediatley available for comment when contacted by Access.

Earlier, news of Megan’s leaving from the franchise cast comes just months after an argument that emerged between Megan, unnamed “Transformers” crewmembers and even the director.

Megan commented her director to “Hitler” and “Napoleon” during an interview with Britain’s Wonderland Magazine’s September/October 2009 issue.

“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” Megan said at the time.

“He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is,” she continued. “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.”

After that, members of the “Transformers” crew posted an open letter on the director’s site, condemning the actress for her behavior on set, calling Megan, “the grump of the set,” as well as “thankless, classless, graceless” and “unfriendly.”

The letter was quickly removed and Michael eventually addressed all the comments a short while later.

“I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes,” Bay wrote in a blog post on his official Web site. “But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3.”

Meanwhile, “Transformers 3″ has reportedly already begun filming.

Fans of Megan would have to accept her non-existent in the next flick.
