Michael Bay's a douchebag. Sadly, this is not news.

It will continue, however, because up and comers will put up with all kinds of shit to work with a big time director and get that break - if one won't there are fifty who will and they all know it. Megan Fox was a big name by the time she got fired and she was still expendable. It's revolting but it's widespread in that industry (Bay is just less subtle than most) and people will choose to play the game because they want a career. Until they all start refusing and thus causing problems for studios, he will go on in his merry asshole way - and by that I do not mean that it's their fault or responsibility. Just that studios will not care unless something gets in the way of the $..
