Resurfaced clip of Jimmy Kimmel joking about Megan Fox at 15 sparks outrage
In a resurfaced 2009 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Megan Fox revealed that director Michael Bay made her “dance underneath a waterfall” in a bikini at the age of 15 while auditioning as an extra for Bad Boys II.
At the time, Kimmel responded with jokes that many later criticized as inappropriate and dismissive of the situation. The interview gained renewed attention online, sparking discussions about misogyny in Hollywood and the treatment of young actresses in the industry.
Michael Bay also addressed the controversy, dismissing claims that he had exploited Fox. He praised her talent and reiterated that she was not inappropriately treated during her Transformers audition, which also became a subject of speculation.
