Chicago Mayor, Richard M. Daley and "Transformers" director, Michael Bay
Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the "Transformers" films, is defending its director, Michael Bay, in an interview today, contradicting an article the Judiciary Report released last week, on September 3, 2010, entitled "Transformers 3 Being Investigated For Safety Violations."
The aforementioned Judiciary Report article, questioned Bay's on-set safety practices and reiterated the fact, last year, fired actress, Megan Fox, slammed him as a director, endangering those that work on his movies, via dangerous stunts that left others injured.
Paramount is now claiming the serious on-set injury of extra, Gabriella Cedillo, was a "freak accident." However, the studio's statements contradict police reports on the tragic incident.
