Michael Bay
Hollywood director and playboy, Michael Bay, expected much from pretty, but surly actress, Megan Fox, who he plucked from obscurity and brought to international stardom via the "Transformers" film series for Paramount Pictures.

Bay gave Fox her first break at age 15, as a scantily clad, bikini wearing teen in his movie "Bad Boys 2" which saw her questionably shaking her butt for the camera. A few years after, he cast her in "Transformers" making her rich and famous. Bay constantly tried to impress her with his wealth and lavish lifestyle.

Michael Bay wanted Fox to rule Hollywood with him, but rather than thanks, more sex and affection, he was greeted with public ingratitude, resentment and insults, from an actress stubbornly refusing to leave her boyfriend of five years, Brian Austin Green.

Fox temporarily stopped living with fiancé Green and his 8-year-old son, Kassius, in 2009 and was recast in the "Transformers 3" sequel. She moved into a plush Santa Monica, California apartment near the beach and publicly ended her engagement to Green.

Bay had high hopes, until Fox gave a scathing interview that year, proclaiming him a dictatorial director and equating the Jewish filmmaker with Hitler. Fox was also calling him names such as "as*hole" in Hollywood. Bay felt betrayed.

Fox also bought a new home in the Hollywood Hills and moved Green and his son Kassius in to live with her. Shortly after, she reported for work on the set of "Transformers 3" and things turned ugly fast with feuding and fighting. Bay fired a stunned Fox and the rest is movie history.
