Casting Replacements That Took a Serious Toll on These Actors’ Careers

The Open Letter

After Fox came forward to speak about how difficult it was to work with the 54-year-old director, he published a grossly sexist open letter on his website, in which crew members called Fox “dumb as a rock,” unprofessional, “Ms. Sourpants,” a “grump,” “thankless,” “classless,” “graceless,” and an “unfriendly b*tch.” Steven Spielberg later denied telling Bay to fire Fox from the production.

An excerpt from the letter read:

“When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it’s very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due to her rotten childhood)—easily another 45 minutes in the chair!”
