Megan Fox Booted out From 'Transformers 3'

A source from the production said that Megan Fox Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the film, would not return for the third movie.

The source said Samuel James Witwicky will be taking a new direction, and the production thinks it was better if Sam wasn't tied down to a love interest.

Wednesday night, spokesperson of the actress told People that it was Megan's decision to leave the movie.

"Megan Fox will not be starring in 'Transformers 3,'" the reps told the mag. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best."

A spokesperson for Megan was not instantly available for any reaction when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Reports say that the decision was "ultimately" director Michael Bay's, but earlier speculations regarding Megan's leaving the franchise was after the

Earlier, speculations about Megan's leaving from the franchise was after the clash that happened  just months after  that erupted between Megan, unnamed "Transformers" crewmembers and even the director.

During an interview with Britain's Wonderland Magazine's September/October 2009 issue, Megan commented her director to "Hitler" and "Napoleon" .

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," Megan 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."

After that, members of the "Transformers" crew posted an open letter on the director's site, condemning the actress for her behavior on set, calling Megan, "the grump of the set," as well as "thankless, classless, graceless" and "unfriendly."

Bay wrote in his blog his views on the matter.

"I don't condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes," Bay wrote, "But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3."

"Transformers 3" has reportedly already begun filming.
