Yea, it had absolutely nothing to do with the very public Bay/Fox feud.
Heres the rest of the article:
A rep for Fox was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.
Nikki Finke, who first reported the news for Deadline that Fox was out, claimed that decision was “ultimately” director Michael Bay’s.
Bay’s rep was also not immediatley available for comment when contacted by Access.
The news of Fox’s departure from the “Transformers 3” cast comes just months after a dispute emerged between Fox, unnamed “Transformers” crewmembers and even the director.
Fox compared 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,” Fox 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.”
Shortly thereafter, members of the “Transformers” crew posted an open letter on the director’s site, condemning the actress for her behavior on set, calling Fox “the grump of the set,” as well as “thankless, classless, graceless” and “unfriendly.”
