Last month, Shia LaBeouf admitted in a Details cover story that he and Megan Fox had some kind of affair while they were working together on one (or perhaps both) of the first two Transformers films. At some point, people were like, “Um, wasn’t Megan Fox still with Brian Austin Green when the Shia stuff went down?” To which some well-placed “source” went to Us Weekly and claimed that at the time of Shia and Megan’s hookup, Megan and BAG were on a break. Nevermind that Shia never detailed the exact time frame of his affair with Megan… or that Megan and BAG’s relationship, while at times off-and-on, seemed pretty “on” for most of the Transformers time frames. Nevermind that last year, when Brian was asked about the “off” periods in his relationship with Megan, Brian replied: “We’ve been together for six years. Find a picture of one of us with any other boyfriend or girlfriend—I challenge you. You’ll only find pictures of her doing press with Shia LaBeouf or me with my son. That’s it. We never once dated anyone else or did anything else.”
So, it’s looking more and more like Megan has some explaining to do to her husband. Thus, this story from OK! Magazine/Hollywood Life – Megan is holding on to her story that she and BAG were on a break BUT she’s still really pissed off at Shia. For why?
Shia LaBeouf admitted to hooking up with Megan Fox while she was on a break from Brian Austin Green and the couple isn’t happy he’s blabbing about it!
Although Shia LaBeouf is basking in the glory of the multi-million dollar blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon, he is not on good terms with his former Transformers star, Megan Fox, and her husband, Brian Austin Green, after revealing he hooked up with Megan while she and her soon-to-be husband were taking a break! Now OK! Magazine reports that the couple are fighting to save their marriage — at the expense of Shia’s friendship.
Megan and Brian have been dating on and off since 2004, however finally tied the knot in a discrete ceremony just one year ago. The couple took a break during Megan’s filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2008 — the same time when Shia recently admitted to engaging in a physical relationship with his co-star.
“Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them…but the time I spent with Megan was our own thing…” LaBeouf reveals in the August issue of Details magazine.
Though now, OK! Magazine reports that Megan and Brian are desperately trying to save their marriage.
“He has really upset Megan and Brian,” a close source explains. “They went through an incredibly rocky period when she and Shia were filming Transofmers: Revenge of the Fallen…having Shia run his mouth now and brag about sleeping with Megan is awful for them.”
Though was it really cheating? “…technically [Megan] didn’t do anything wrong since they were on break. [Still], they are so angry at Shia.” We hope this love triangle dies out very soon!
[From Hollywood Life]
Is it possible that Megan and BAG were on a break, and that’s when she and Shia boned, and Megan is just apologetic and upset because her former (secret) lover told the world that they boned in a most ungentlemanly fashion? Of course. But I still don’t know why that BAG quote from last year isn’t getting more play, and I think that whether or not there was technically a “break” somewhere in there and Megan is completely blameless, in BAG’s mind, he was Megan’s only love and he had no idea about Shia.
Now, will this whole scandal put a crimp in their marriage, long-term? I don’t know. After staying quiet and low-profile throughout the Transformers publicity tour in which her name was constantly being mentioned, Megan has come out of hiding with a series of public moves. There was that completely weird Facebook-Botox thing, and now here are some “candids” from the set of The Dictator, in which Megan has a small part (photos of Megan in blue). I’m not sure what she’s doing, but it’s interesting.

Dear Megan Fox,
Gain 10lbs back and never mess with your face again.
Love,
Everyone
I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to feel sorry for Megan now. It seems everyone is out to badmouth her lately. Let’s give the girl a break on this one, ok? Shia LeDouche is obviously bragging about his conquests without considering the consequences. He could have kept his piehole shut, you know? And as for the whole Megan/BAG situation… meh. I’m sure he already knew. It’s just unfortunate that everybody else knows now, too.
Shia La Beouf should have ferme la bouche.
nevertheless, uncool of Shia. Just uncool.
I’d be pissed too. It was a douchey move. Everyone whose anyone knows you don’t kiss and tell. Cardinal sin.
UNCOOL!
Kissing & telling is UNCOOL!
That’s who this story reminds me of. Miss UNCOOL herself. Pissed when John Mayer spilled the beans, but has no problem spilling the UNCOOL beans on her ex and his partner!
brin, very nice! and I agree.
whether or not Fox and BAG were on a break, it’s very ungentlemanly to kiss and tell. he should have kept his mouth shut.
Shia: that was a douche move.
There was no reason in the world why he had to mention that. Except to bring attention to himself.
Either her face is looking more natural or I’m getting used to its strangeness.
Lesson #1, Shia: A true stud doesn’t need to brag about his conquests. It just makes you sound desperate. Act like you bed so many lovely ladies that it ain’t no thing. When asked, just say smile wistfully and say, “Megan…what a beautiful woman.” That will speak louder than words.
I do feel sorry for her and LaDouche is, well, a major douche. But I wish she would have never addressed this subject. Ever. Let him (Oedipus Douche) be the one talking shit and making a fool out of himself.
OK, I never thought I’d be defending Megan Fox, but here it is..Shia LaBeouf, more like Shia LaDouche! Kissing and telling is plain old tacky and uncouth. He has no filter – I feel sorry for her. Moreover, this little worm has gotten away, scott free, with trashing Steven Spielberg, who he smarmily refers to as “Steven” (remember the Indiana Jones bashing?) and Michael Bay. With no repercussions. Megan compared Bay to Hitler and got fired. Katherine Heigl (disclaimer, I can’t stand her) made a comment about the portrayal of women in knocked up and everyone was all over her. Hollywood is totally sexist. Shia is a douche and karma is a B, hope he’s ready to reap what he’s sowed…
Gals and guys who tell tales out of school are insecure.
Damn you Shia for making me feel bad for this girl!
Blah. No sympathy for her, no respect for him.
My mom taught me a long time ago I am responsible for my own reputation and actions can have consequences. If Meg was sleeping with Shia while in a relationship with Brian then she deserves it.
I understand she no longer wants to be the sexy, wet, licking lips, porn star image girl she was eagerly embracing in the past but unfortunately she will still deal with the ignorance she once was eager to be a part of.
I’m just happy she seems to have moved on from this and hopefully she and Brian can stay strong.
Here’s a thought: then don’t have an affair!! It takes two to tango and I have no sympathy for anyone in this situation because they put themselves there.
That was an asshole move on his part. I mean why would you tell the whole world. I wish she had kept quiet, then people would have thought it was a figment of his imagination.
I’m over Shia completely now.
As for Megan, with BAG making a statement like he did, it’s highly probable that she led him to believe – if not outright said – that she and Shia were just friends and nothing sexual ever happened. Now Shia has outed her, and BAG is upset because he was lied to. This is just my speculation based on past experience.
For a while i kindof liked Shia. Probably because he was in Freaks and Geeks. The more he opens his mouth the more i think he is an idiot boy who hopefully wont be around much longer. I’m really not sure what audience he is supposed to appeal to. He lacks charisma, charm and attractiveness.
Shia is obviously bitter about the way things ended with Megan. Typical dick move, spilling the beans to stir sh*t up, when the person who wounded your pride seems content. I hope someday he receives a major dose of karma when someone he loves cheats on him, and her weasly side-piece splatters it all over the interweb!
You’re right @Eve. What a strange little man with a bizarre Oedipus complex.
@brin, haha! Well played.
@Aries_Mira.
Exactly. Seems like some hypocrisy, if the shoe was on the other foot I highly doubt anyone would be sympathizing with Shia. She is a cheater if this rumor is true and as such this was simply a long time coming.
She wasn’t having an affair if they were on a break. Why do women insist on tearing down other women?
He never should have mentioned they were intimate. It’s tacky and screams insecurity on his part. In my opinion Shia objectified her far worst than Michael Bay.
Ms Fox needs to shut up and get used to this kind of thing or the business will eat her up and spit her out. little bitch also needs acting school
If she cheated on BAG, I don’t feel too bad for her, but either way, Shia needs to shut it. That’s really rude and immature, and kind of pathetic.
According to BAG’s statement she lied to him about what she was doing while they were on a break, I don’t believe in simply 100% supporting another human being merely because they also have a pair of ovaries.
I suspect this mini uproar is because she did cheat, she and BAG were a long term relationship which was constantly breaking up and getting back together and odds are lines were crossed.
Shrugs. If she did something wrong, sucks for her, if she didn’t then she and BAG have nothing to worry about.
Mixed feelings. Blabbing is a douche move, but she is unbearable and of paper-thin talent. She does her own desperate things for attention, like tweeting pics of her forehead.
However, people have been trashing her publicly, like ex-coworkers, and that is low class of them. So I do feel bad for her a tiny bit.
Shia was a douche, Megan was a slot and BAG is just in a bad fn place right now
It was just a slutty moment! NEXT!
I don`t feel sorry for her, she was a single woman at the time who decided to drop her goods.
As for Shia, like he would be the first or last guy to talk about banging her, she should expect this!
There actually were rumors denied at the time that Megan and BAG were on a break during the Transformers shoot. I think Meagan’s getting the shaft on this one BIG TIME.
BAG used to be so hot. I had such a thing for him when he was on the soap I can’t remember the name of. Wasn’t he Sammi’s boyfriend on Days? Or was it Another World he was on? Anybody?
Can’t believe I am saying this, but she actually looks pretty in pic #3! The rest are scary.
Even if it *did* happen during a legit-break, Megan didn’t tell him about it (He had to hear from someone else), which probably planted a seed of distrust.
She & Shia have worked together for so long (through most (if not all) of Brian’s relationship with her) that I’m sure he can’t *help* but wonder about all those other opportunities they had.
Basically, he’s probably thinking “If she didn’t tell me about *this*… How many other things could she be hiding/lying about?” Not an easy thing to get around in a marriage. >.<
I wonder what is new girlfriend is thinking…I’d be f’ing pissed. When you’re in a relationship you don’t talk publicly about other people you’ve boned. How disrespectful!
In every single interview I’ve read of Shia’s, he comes across like a major asshole. This is just one of his more assholish moves. I feel badly for Megan, as her name has been dragged through the mud for the entirety of the promotion for this stupid, stupid movie. I never thought I would feel badly for her. Thanks, Shia and Michael Bay, for making me feel the need to defend Megan. Assholes.
As an aside, I think she looks really pretty in that photo in blue where she’s smiling (the third one down). She does have a lovely smile. I see no difference in her face in this recent photo and the photo underneath from the Transformers premiere with Shia (taken several years ago, I assume). I don’t think she messes with her face half as much as people seem to think.
@Quest, why is Megan a slut and Shia is only a douche? They both did the same thing. Why isn’t Shia a slut, too? I hate when women are called names for their sexual escapades but men are given free passes.
Is she bleaching her skin ??
She shouldn’t have addressed it. The story would have died down. Now, people are back to discussing it.
@ brin – Oui! *waves*
@ morgfunk – “Hollywood is totally sexist!” And in other breaking news, water is wet.
@ everyone else – Shia is an asshole, not a douche.
@ LadyD – I don’t think so. How far back are we talking?
Shia is an ass for sayiny anything. & she should just be embarrassed.
Shia is an ass for saying anything. & she should just be embarrassed.
I don’t see victims here, they’re all liars and talentless famewh0res.
My theory is: BAG knew about her cheating, that’s why they were on a ‘break’. She slept with Shia, Bay….to get bigger in her career. Things didn’t work out for her. She realized BAG is the only person who cares about her, and goes back to him. He takes her back because he’s old, has a son to raise, and doesn’t have a job.
Dp! With a typo!
ShiaPet and his curly head need to STFU!
He’s an Ass, and I’m team Meghan on this. The girl had bad judgement and seems to have settled down to being faithful with long time love Brian, so I’m giving her and her ghostface makeup a one time pass.
Wouldn’t it be shocking if she delivers an actual performance worth mentioning? I’m always rooting for a young celebrity to actually deliver solid entertainment because the lion’s share of TV and movies is pure drivel.
her rep has said “we do not have a comment”
all these sources and indsiders could be talking complete bullshit and of course shia could be lying
I dislike Megan Fox incredibly. I think she’s a shitty actress and a shitty person. But I can sympathize with her here. I’d be humiliated too if I decided to bonk a total douchebag dorkhole like Shia LaBeouf and he went blabbing about it. Like it’s not punishment enough that she has to live with the knowledge!
original bellaluna…umm, maybe 20 years?
Okay, my son just introduced me to IMDB. Never heard of it before. I checked BAG and it must be someone else I’m thinking of. He was Lucas’s brother on the show, and Sammi’s wannabe.
Shia is an @$$ but she went there.
@alice She married ‘David Silver’ so it’s not like she has exquisite taste. I don’t know that people knowing she f*cked Shia is any more humiliating. David Silver is total D-List
@Sara at minimum, I think she blew Bay. I guess she didn’t blow Spielberg since he allegedly fired her.
Just ungentlemanly in the extreme to out her on this affair, especially now that she’s happily married. The woman’s been through enough – leave her alone already.
I’m surprised that it actually took this long for ‘OK’ to jump on this story. This was reported ages ago here.
All things remain the same: Shia is a douche. Megan is being bullied. BAG is hot and I feel bad that he’s being dragged into this.
Sadly, TF3 is doing well. I guess misogyny is alive and well and even accepted as a means to promote a movie.
@morgfunk Katherine Heigl (who I also can’t stand) Did not have to make that horrid Judd Apatow movie. However, she survived that. What got her was dissing the writers on Grey’s. She is very ungrateful.
I avoid Judd Apatow movies like a lot of you avoid Transformers because they are totally icky nerd fantasies: Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill – ewww. Picture Nikki Blonski with Edward -IT.WILL.NEVER.HAPPEN.
Unfortunately, Shia knows how to skirt the line… Indy 4 sucked – um it did – worse than any Transformers – but he didn’t personally dis “Steven” Bay can’t get him on bashing him because its all these back handed “compliments” likt everyone else in the GQ piece. “Mike is an asshole but he is true to his vision” – or something like that.
Not to mention Bay can’t touch him. He’s got “Steven’s” protection. I’m shocked JJ Abrams didn’t get Shia shoved down his throat in Super 8.
Agree with sara and 45#; they are all self-absorbed douches; a poster on a previous thread re megan fox said it best – this is why celebutards should be seen and heard only regurgitating their lines – with some exceptions, most are just plain dumb brainless morons. Megafarse could’ve been big if she would have taken acting lessons, read a few books or newspapers now and then and learned how to carry on a real conversation – but she couldn’t even do that – no sympathy a pox on all their houses.
@ Turtle Dove
You actually believe the majority 18-40 yr old men who will be/have watched the film care anything about gossip about a woman who’s role was just eye candy?
Shia and Bay could have recited the alphabet backwards and the result would have been the same. I believe its one reason they did speak of Megan, because there was nothing to lose since she was no longer attached to the series and they didn’t have to keep quiet.
Lady D, I was going to suggest IMDB to you.
it is the GO TO for any questions like “was he/she in…” or “what else was he in?”
BAG seems like such a controlling douche I think Shia’s aloofness would totally appeal to her.
That Transformer guy is an asshole. There is no excuse for what he did to Megan and to his current Transformers costar.
@The Lady D happy to say that BAG was never on Days I think you are thinking of the much hotter Patrick Muldoon…as far as I know his only soaps were Beverly Hills 90210 and Desperate Housewives.
Riana (53), if that’s acceptable to you, great. It’s not to me. You can (quasi) justify/be laissez faire about the behavior all you like, but I will always make a comment about female belittling and sexism.
I guess we have different priorities and values. (shrug)
She has to be embarrassed she did anything with him because he is so fugly & such a moron. They probably only kissed but Shia is making it sound like more because he is such a tool.
So, you mess around with a classless KID and you’re surprised and hurt after the fact when he behaves like a classless kid? Hmmmmmm – misplaced expectations. Those “office romances” never end well, anyway, do they?
misogyny is alive and well and even accepted as a means to promote a movie.
@Turtle Dove brilliant observation. And we all know if a female star bragged about screwing around with a male co-star so explicitly while he had a girlfriend she’d be shamed out of the biz.
This Shia/Megan thing was very public knowledge back when it was going on, totally not a secret so why the big to-do now? And who gives a shit anyway?
I think a lot of people assumed that they were “together” during Transformers. At least, I did before I knew about Brian.
Ha I say Shia and toethumbs are both sluts!!!
is it possible that there is some truth bending going on? What’s one way to hype up your movie? Oh. Say you hooked up with your costar who has notoriously been replaced/fired/quit from the franchise. I mean, Shia was kind of vague enough that he can always say “I was misquoted”. Not to mention this former costar is also notoriously disliked among celebrity gossip sites, allowing the topic to not die.
Do you think he would have said this if she was in the latest movie?
As for Megan, with BAG making a statement like he did, it’s highly probable that she led him to believe – if not outright said – that she and Shia were just friends and nothing sexual ever happened.
_______________________
Yep. She led him to believe that they were exclusive that’s why BAG said that. He probably feels pretty stupid right now.
TurtleDove, ah…but I didn’t say it was acceptable now did I? (Its always semi-amusing to see how people shove a judgement on you when you don’t agree with them).
I said if you believe any of Transformers Target audience which is men who a. grew up with the show or b. just love action’s attendance depends on what light Megan Fox is being painted in interviews you’re a tad silly. Bay and Shia aren’t using Meg for gossip (quick guess what the majority sex is that visits this blog and other gossip sites? Now guess how many female viewers to this site & others will go see the movie?) they’re using her because legally they have no reason to be respectable. She’s no longer part of the movie and dissing her has no effect.
I’m not justifying anything, I’m merely being adult about this. Ironically you talk about female belittling and sexism but you ignore those very actions SAID AND DONE BY MEGAN. Hence why I have no sympathy. This girl lubed herself up and posed in a bikini on a mag cover licking her mouth in pure pre-blow job stance…forgive me if I don’t sympathize manipulating and using her sex backfiring on her.
We do have different values and priorities, namely…I have them and I prefer to invest them on advancing women rather than atypically sympathizing with every walking pair of ovaries who publicly insulted OTHER WOMEN as a whole and once her career stalls has regrets.
Heatheradair has got it. Shia never came off like a little gentleman, he was always a bit of a douche. But she went out of her way to work with douches like Bay and possibly sleep with a douche like Shia…sucks for her.
Shia’s dropping of this story is totally contrived. Its his way of keeping his friend Megan in the spotlight even though she is not in the Transformers 3 movie…
Shia and the douche director Bay really can’t leave her alone, can they?
Typical bully behavior because someone who did not think their shit is gold.
Hope that Transformers mess dies soon and we never have to hear about Shia again.
Riana, when you blandly question, “You actually believe the majority 18-40 yr old men who will be/have watched the film care anything about gossip about a woman who’s role was just eye candy?” one can assume that, yes, you do feel this way. There is a tone of acceptance in this type of behavior that is quite saddening. As women we shouldn’t have to condone or lie down and take abusive behavior, and I call men (and women) on it. I’m going to assume that you are a woman and say that if you find this misogynistic bullying acceptable on any level then you might want to examine this.
What you are failing to note is the fact that she has been used as a promotional tool in a disrespectful manner. Megan has said NOTHING about them in YEARS, but they’ve been on the attack for months. She’s kept her head down, so to speak, and has been working and spending time with her family. No woman who goes about her daily life deserves this abusive treatment.
“Ironically you talk about female belittling and sexism but you ignore those very actions SAID AND DONE BY MEGAN.” Ironically, no I don’t ignore that. If you’ve read other threads, you would know that I have mentioned her statements. That being said, she is being targeted because she didn’t play “subservient” female and behaved as the male star did. Megan said and did LESS THAN SHIA; yet, she is the one that is vilified.
The magazine report aside, female harassment and bullying and misogyny are ‘cry-BAY-b’s’ mortis operandi. Women are used and then verbally abused afterwards. He’s done it to Kate B., Scarlett, Megan… guess who’s next? According to you, I guess they deserve it. They chose to work with him, and they “will still [have to] deal with the ignorance [they] once [were] eager to be a part of.”
Riana, have you never done something that you regret? If you have, did people rub your face in your past mistakes? You’re not perfect, Riana. Neither am I. What I find objectionable is the way in which Megan was treated based on her past behavior – MILDER behavior compared to her counterpart, Shia. Yet, she’s condemned repeatedly for her so-called indiscretions and Shia gets a pass, bully-BAY gets a pass, all the men get a pass, and the women are raked over the coals. What’s worse….. by other women too.
I have sympathy for her because as a young woman she said what was on her mind and she got burned for it. I had the same treatment once upon a time… except now in my line of work people pay me to be on their side and speak on their behalf – one of life’s little twists (especially when one of your previous detractors comes a-grovelling).
“Its always semi-amusing to see how people shove a judgement on you when you don’t agree with them…..We do have different values and priorities, namely…I have them” …Yes… it is semi-amusing… isn’t it…
The funny thing is (I’ll say it again) I’m not a huge Megan fan. I am, however, earnest when it comes to standing up to what I perceive as unjust behavior.
The more I read about Shia, the more I dislike him.
When I see him open his mouth, for the shite to dribble out (because he isn’t the sharpest tool in in the shed, yet he is a tool), I can only think of the nepotism that allows him to list his occupation as an actor.
Even if she did have sex with him, it’s not really appropriate for him to be such a moron about it.
It only reveals his own insecurity anyway. He may be pissed that she used him, instead of the other way around – because she didn’t abandon her relationship.
In Hollywood, you can expect any story. Sex is not really the emotional sex that the general population takes it to be. Men in Hollywood still use sex to barter or blackmail, whichever tickles their fancy.
My guess is that she slept with him for something (because no woman would sleep with him unless he is in the spotlight) and then she thought ‘screw you, I don’t need you and no, I’m not ending my relationship for you,’ and he didn’t like it.
Mind you he didn’t actually say, “we slept together’. He dances around the subject.
To me, that only means one thing: that they probably didn’t do anything, that he harassed her like mad. She said no. But his ego was hurt and he decided to spin a web of bullshit, only to make her look worse.
This reminds me of a similar incident I experienced at 18 (so many years ago lol), when I worked in hospitality. The high status male in question propositioned me and I said no and he decided to tell all and sundry that not only did I sleep with him, but I was practically a whore.
Shia LaDouche has a similar cavalier attitude of an insecure pencil dick.
This guy just gets more and more unlikeable. A small man with a huge inferiority complex. ITA that kissing and telling should stop in the playground.
“Riana, when you blandly question, “You actually believe the majority 18-40 yr old men who will be/have watched the film care anything about gossip about a woman who’s role was just eye candy?” one can assume that, yes, you do feel this way.

I’m going to assume that you are a woman and say that if you find this misogynistic bullying acceptable on any level then you might want to examine this.”
Then you are assuming to justify your own views rather than openly examining my opinion. Both Megan and Rosie’s roles are nothing but eye candy, we could poo poo it but it’d be side stepping rather than maturely observing. Bay did not hire either woman for their acting ability, he did not give them dynamic engaging roles. They were strictly in the movie to bend over and pout…and both women knew it and eagerly went for it playing along and fulfilling every misogynistic sexist view of women being empty-headed, slutty, and down on other women but all for their bro’s. It takes two to tango and two to further this cycle and both women can not willingly rake in millions while doing a disservice to us all as a whole…and then have sympathy when the money stops flowing.
“What you are failing to note is the fact that she has been used as a promotional tool in a disrespectful manner. Megan has said NOTHING about them in YEARS, but they’ve been on the attack for months. She’s kept her head down, so to speak, and has been working and spending time with her family. No woman who goes about her daily life deserves this abusive treatment.”
Let me paint you a very simple picture. Odds are neither Bay or Shia especially respect Megan, odds are they both dislike her. When she ran her mouth calling Bay, Hitler, Shia avoided the line of fire and Bay while shooting back was tame. Megan’s out of the movie and the hits come hard and fast. News flash but you don’t remove the target from your back simply because you now wish to be a demure woman and are no longer part of the movie. Bay was going to hit back for every comment she made about him as soon as he really had the opportunity and Shia who no longer sees her at work every day is going to speak about her when his first magazine interview came (and lookie there…he did). Depending on if Bay ever considers working with Shia again I’m sure he’d run his mouth about him too.
“That being said, she is being targeted because she didn’t play “subservient” female and behaved as the male star did. Megan said and did LESS THAN SHIA; yet, she is the one that is vilified.”
Not quite. As another poster said Shia would mostly phrase his insults having some complimentive basis, calling someone an asshole but saying they’re brilliant otherwise may not immediately raise red flags. Out and out insulting your boss in a manner that makes jaws drop…much less likely to be immediately forgiven. It was not just Bay either, there was a time Megan shot her mouth off essentially insulting different individuals, fans, genres and never bothered to further explain herself let alone apologize as such she burned more bridges than Shia would ever dare. That little punk only goes as far as his paycheck will allow.
“According to you, I guess they deserve it. They chose to work with him, and they “will still [have to] deal with the ignorance [they] once [were] eager to be a part of.”
As far as I know neither woman showed up to his house alone to wash his car…but maybe you’re privileged to information I am not. Neither woman danced under a waterfall in a bikini. Neither woman acted in 2 sequels with a man who was such a jerk…nope, both women did their jobs, behaved elegantly and got the hell out…sounds like a smart action to me. Don’t milk the cow and complain the milk is bitter…for 4-5 years.
“and the women are raked over the coals. What’s worse….. by other women too.”
The women…or just Megan? THAT is what I find telling, because other women are very much respected and career driven after working with Bay. Megan…remains to be seen.
Personally I believe this is simply reality. Does it suck Shia said these things? Yes, for Megan it does. But…I was not raised to believe if I did something wrong I would be sheltered or individuals who are not my family would protect me. You can not depend on ANY else to defend your reputation because people of all sexes do run their mouths and ignore other people’s lives or concerns (Halle Berry if her claims are false). I think Megan did something wrong and like a boomer rang, it was a long time coming but unfortunately it did come back and she became another woman mentioned for what she did sexually with a man.
My guess is that Brian probably asked her if she was with anyone during the breakup period. Most of us have experienced that! Was there anyone else while we were broken up? What about so-and-so? Of course it sounds very juvenile but it’s only human nature. And, my guess is that Megan said nuh-uh, of course not. Now, Shia plants this bomb, vague as it may be. BAG is, therefore, most likely pissed.
the more i read about Shia the more disgusted i get. i liked the dork when he first came out, i thought he had this nerdy cuteness about him and i was happy about his success. then he stopped reading his lines, and opened his mouth.
megan was the same. i remember writing one of my first blog posts about how stupid she seemed- albiet, a hottie. dumb as rocks. and you can quote me on that.
HOWEVER, she got shit for her comments. she got fired for that nonsense too. and since, it seems like she’s settled down. got married. she shut up.
she may dress sexy at a movie premiere, she may suck a lollipop in pigtails looking into the camera, come hither for a photo shoot. but do you see her acting that way in her personal time? has she ever been pap’d as such? on the contrary, ive seen pics of her out in her ugg boots and i think sheesh, this woman is gorgeous, those boots? really? and yet she is labeled a slut. and by other women. shame on you. i see your insecurities ladies, dont let it control you.
regardless of whether meg cheated on BAG, none of us will ever know. and thats not for us to know, we are not in their marriage. im sure tons of you have done worse and with worse looking people. shoot, i have. she made some really dim-witted comments in the past, she’s young still and chances are she still may.
but what shia did is disgusting. and makes me think he has a small penis. do you see Brad Pitt dragging his ex’s names through the mud and talking about their sexcapades??
a real man doesnt need to brag.
Did Shia actually SAY that they hooked up? He alludes to it, but he doesn’t actually admit what went down. He could be making a huge deal out of nothing. And honestly, I remember Fox and BAG WERE broken up during the transformers stuff…or at least for part of it. This feels like a non-story, though I’d still be pissed at fugly little Shia for trying to stir something up. On another note, funny how this story is believed by nearly 100% of readers and bloggers alike, but with certain other celebrities, tabloids always lie and never get anything right. *eyeroll*
The only one I feel any sympathy for is BAG. What a stupid, vapid, immature, low self esteemed mess he hooked up with.
Shia is an idiot as well. Him and Megan deserve each other.
She’s looking pretty again! Yay!
How can any of you fell sorry for her? Don’t do something you don’t want anyone to know about. If she didn’t want people to know she screwed him, she should have told him no and kept her legs shut.
chipmunk cheeks are a new addition, I guess that’s not botox.
Well said, Turtle Dove, as always.
Bay treated her like shit and when she showed her discomfort, Shia (aka his biggest minion) immediately accused her of Spice Girl feminism. Guys like that are disgusting.
her reply should simply be:
“OH SHIA. I’D BRAGGED TOO IF I BANGED ME, BUT IT WAS A QUICK MOMENT – LITERALLY ;-)… AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE STILL DOING GREAT. THX!”
“Then you are assuming to justify your own views rather than openly examining my opinion.”
Riana, just to point out, you responded to me, not the other way around. I would not have responded to you had you not initially made a direct comment to me. We do not have the same point of view, so I would not have initiated contact; you did, however.
“News flash but you don’t remove the target from your back simply because you now wish to be a demure woman and are no longer part of the movie.”
People grow, evolve and change. The views that women have in their early twenties are not the same views that they hold years later. One also learns from mistakes and progress in maturation as a result of experience. What was once acceptable can become intolerable as a woman matures and realizes she is being ill-used. Let’s take this to Megan… Shia recently stated that Megan became increasingly uncomfortable with the way she was expected to perform, how she was portrayed and her treatment on set. As a younger woman she may not have realized the behavior that ‘cry-BAY-b’ exhibited was unprofessional. As she matured and continued to work in her field, she would develop more of an understanding of what is and is not acceptable professionally and personally.
In my own experience, as a younger woman I can recall being asked to wear a short skirt and tank top to an interview. I was also asked my height and weight at the interview. I was young and didn’t know any better, and I did not realize that what the interviewer was asking was illegal. You want to work, make money and establish yourself. After leaving that employment, I realized that that treatment was harassment. But this would not matter you as in your estimations a woman should also carry a “target on her back” for past ‘indiscretions’ such as asserting oneself personally or in your career.
Too many women are ‘trained’ to be nice little girls who ‘yes, sir’ and ‘no, sir’ and are burdened with the middle class morality and archaic expectations of female identity and sexuality. You say, “As far as I know neither woman showed up to his house alone to wash his car…Neither woman danced under a waterfall in a bikini.” Who are you or anyone else to define what is acceptable female behavior? If they choose to do it, then that is their prerogative and certainly not my place as a woman to define/confine another woman’s sexual expression. Riana, how about asking two things: 1) why am I, Riana, not forcefully asking questions about Shia’s sexual, social and work behavior? 2) why do I feel the need to judge a woman based on her sexuality? Riana, that is a double standard passed down again and again, and you bought into it hook-line-and-sinker. You also may want to think about if you have female jealously, which is generally exhibited over envy of another woman’s sexual success.
“… there was a time Megan shot her mouth off … and never bothered to further explain herself let alone apologize as such she burned more bridges than Shia would ever dare.”
Oh my. Heaven forbid a woman “shoot off her mouth.” The great thing about living in democratic countries is that women can “shoot off their mouths” and are freely allowed to do so. The Taliban doesn’t rule where I live and no-one should control what a woman says except for the female in question. Riana, do I need to go through the list of Shia’s indiscretions. Better yet, look back over past threads and see what other women and I have discussed about this blatant misogyny. I’m not alone in these feelings.
“I was not raised to believe if I did something wrong I would be sheltered … I think Megan did something wrong and like a boomer rang, it was a long time coming but unfortunately it did come back and she became another woman mentioned for what she did sexually with a man.”
Heaven forbid that you make a mistake because according to your logic it should ALWAYS be held against you. It would not matter if you attempted to alter your life and/or make amends… it would be there… looming… ready to bite you in the a**. But… you’d deserve it, right? According to you. And no-one…. NO-ONE should attempt to assist you or stand up against obvious injustices against you because you would deserve the abuse… probably because you “ran your mouth” and didn’t say ‘yes, sir’ fast enough, or maybe you wore the wrong outfit.
I don’t know what Shia expected to gain from telling everyone he slept with Megan. He should have known that this would be her reaction. You just don’t do that.
I think people don’t give Megan a lot of credit. I think she ran her mouth off about Michael Bay knowing it would get her fired. Hollywood contracts are complicated and she may have been contractually obligated to play in 3 and she didn’t want to so she sais what she did in hopes Bay would fire her and it worked.
I hope things with her and BAG work out. I’m not a fan of either of them but looking at their relationship they just seem to fit one another.
“Who are you or anyone else to define what is acceptable female behavior?”
Those are requests and actions mired in manipulation, disrespect, and possible sexual assault. If you really want to argue it is acceptable for a woman (or man for that matter) to go to an employer’s private home and wash their vehicle I suspect our views are just way too different.
“If they choose to do it, then that is their prerogative and certainly not my place as a woman to define/confine another woman’s sexual expression.”
So you would support a woman using her sexuality to gain a job? Or further support her EMPLOYER using her sexuality? Yet you complain about a man being a chauvinist? I suppose if Bay asked her to give him a blow job he’d merely be ‘expressing his sexuality’ You can not have it both ways. It can’t be ‘poor Megan’ and ‘Megan is free to wash a man’s car half naked and should be supported for it’.
“Riana, how about asking two things: 1) why am I, Riana, not forcefully asking questions about Shia’s sexual, social and work behavior?”
Because this topic is about Megan.
“2) why do I feel the need to judge a woman based on her sexuality?”
Sexuality? Goodness…this is just sad, this is why Rosie Huntington Whitley replaced Fox so easily. Because Fox was content to be the walking set of tits in Bay’s mindless action film and rather than critically evaluate why it hindered her career we should throw confetti and cheery. At least Kate’s role had some meaning.
“Heaven forbid that you make a mistake because according to your logic it should ALWAYS be held against you.”
Its sadly telling how much you have to misrepresent my points in order to justify your own. Exaggeration is the first sign of a weak argument. No simply…when you do something wrong odds are it will come back to bite you in the ass, especially if in doing so you’re hurting another individual (BAG). Again…this is all IF this is what happened.
“It would not matter if you attempted to alter your life and/or make amends… it would be there… looming… ready to bite you in the a**.”
…attempting to redeem yourself doesn’t protect yourself from consequence. What you’re saying is ‘if you’re really really sorry the Universe should cater to you’ it doesn’t work that way. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t…understand now?
“But… you’d deserve it, right? According to you. And no-one…. NO-ONE should attempt to assist you or stand up against obvious injustices against you because you would deserve the abuse… probably because you “ran your mouth” and didn’t say ‘yes, sir’ fast enough, or maybe you wore the wrong outfit.”
…are we even still talking about Megan?
Oops, didn’t say hello or thanks to mln76 and Flan. 🙂
Hey Riana you seems to b a pro in analysing everyword and have d exact answer for everything as well. Who paid you to play God? I bet you haven’t done anything inappropriate in your entire life. Megan Fox has her fault but dont we all.
If this tale is true, then it should serve as a reminder that honesty in a relationship is always the best policy. So, don’t do something you don’t want coming back to haunt you because people sometimes talk and people don’t always have your back. And beware of hooking up with a jerk.
She seemed to not care about the whole subject for a long time, then she is all over the place regarding her, “I don’t do plastic surgury statements and pictures of her frozen brow” when that shiz isn’t circulating, we are now back to Shia. I think she is struggleing to stay in the light and be relevant, she doesn’t seem to do much else these days.
haha I keep thinking of Ross Gellar shouting “WE WERE ON A BREAK!!”
“Those are requests and actions mired in manipulation, disrespect, and possible sexual assault.”
Don’t really understand the context of this statement, as it does not jive with my re-quote. ???
“If you really want to argue it is acceptable for a woman (or man for that matter) to go to an employer’s private home and wash their vehicle I suspect our views are just way too different.”o
Men make these outlandish requests ALL THE TIME. The point being… which you do not seem to be grasping, is that she might have found this acceptable AT THE TIME, but even as Shia pointed out, Megan became increasingly uncomfortable with her overall treatment on set.
“So you would support a woman using her sexuality to gain a job? Or further support her EMPLOYER using her sexuality? Yet you complain about a man being a chauvinist? … It can’t be ‘poor Megan’ and ‘Megan is free to wash a man’s car half naked and should be supported for it’.”
Yet again… I’ll reiterate my point… what is once acceptable due to inexperience is no longer acceptable as one matures. Are you the same person you were at 19-20 (Megan’s age during TF1 filming)? I doubt that you are. Women in that age group and younger are more easily manipulated and only as a woman matures does she have the fortitude to stand up for herself. Actually, it CAN be ‘poor Megan’… Megan washing the car was silly, inexperienced Megan of 18 and ‘cry-BAY-b’ was 41. There’s a definite age/power dynamic at play here. Megan this summer during TF3 promotion is 25 and Bay is 47, but who is taking the high road, keeping her mouth closed, and not making disparaging remarks? Megan. Who is bullying, manipulating, corralling his minions to character assassinate a former employee – Bay.
“Riana, how about asking two things: 1) why am I, Riana, not forcefully asking questions about Shia’s sexual, social and work behavior?”…”Because this topic is about Megan.”
If it is about Megan then you can talk about her exclusively, right? Then bringing up how a (almost) middle-aged man manipulated a teenager shouldn’t be the basis of your argument. Talking about how she (allegedly)hooked up with Shia shouldn’t factor into your responses. This is about Megan, correct? In fact, your responses throughout this thread are littered with the reactionary comments about her (supposed) behavior with men.
“Its sadly telling how much you have to misrepresent my points in order to justify your own. Exaggeration is the first sign of a weak argument.”
A reexamination of your own posts might be needed before you cast stones, Riana. I’m doing no more than you are. Don’t get upset if I am doing it better.
“But… you’d deserve it, right? According to you. And no-one…. NO-ONE should attempt to assist you or stand up against obvious injustices against you because you would deserve the abuse… probably because you “ran your mouth” and didn’t say ‘yes, sir’ fast enough, or maybe you wore the wrong outfit.” “…are we even still talking about Megan?”
Just pointing out the basic holes in your argument. Re-read your posts to connect the dots.
Riana, you’ve bought into the expected female behaviors drilled into females that allow men to manipulate and take advantage of women. I recommend that you free yourself from these shackles and start making your own decisions based on your views not the ones imposed on you. Females can say and do what they want and should not have a more harsh judgement passed down on them because they are female.
You have a very, very narrow view of the world and women’s place in it. You expound upon Megan not being deserving of redemption because “…attempting to redeem yourself doesn’t protect yourself from consequence. What you’re saying is ‘if you’re really really sorry the Universe should cater to you’ it doesn’t work that way.” All this venom is pointed at Megan but, AGAIN, where is the vitriol directed at Shia. Look back over other threads. Read what people have posted about him and make a comparative judgement. Why does Megan now, TWO years later, need to be attacked? According to your Old Testament wrath of God view of the world redemption is not allowed. I find this bizarre and unsettling and recommend that you give this further consideration.
My main objection to the TF3 promotion, per my many posts on these threads, is why reference Megan at all? It’s the misogyny. The need to suppress a female who has not towed the line. THAT I can’t tolerate. Reading other people’s comments that support this view make me realize that I am not alone.
Turtle Dove:

I believe that’s exactly what happened. She accepted at some point, but after a while she couldn’t take it anymore.
By the way, I agree with most of your comments here so far.
wow, she’s like a human barbie doll!
Shia Laboof is the Drake of movies.
Well done @Turtle Dove, all very well said
dear,megan your were verry butiful when i first saw u .Now u look like a waxed doll dont mess with your face ever again honey. PS.whats your real eye color
