JRCF29 8,202 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Jimmy Kimmel Live! host Jimmy Kimmel is facing criticism today over a joke he made years ago to Megan Fox on his show. In 2009, the Transformers star stopped by the show and shared an anecdote about her time filming Bad Boys II . According to Fox, she was brought in for a small role in a bar scene but being 15 at the time she couldn't drink or sit at the bar counter; director Michael Bay's solution was to dress her in a bikini and have her dance under a waterfall. Fox commented that she felt as though the scene was a "microcosm of how Bay's mind works." That's when Kimmel cut in, joking that "that's really a microcosm of how all of our minds work." The clip was being shared around Twitter today, and Buzzfeed picked it up: Jimmy Kimmel was just named the host of the 2020 Emmys UPDATE: Megan Fox addressed the controversy on Instagram in a statement defending Michael Bay.

raragaga 8,119 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 She does deserve an apology. Kimmel's comment says a lot about him.. never liked him anyway. And Michael Bay movies are lame and overrated. xoxo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 49,795 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Rude and disrespectful That being said we really should legit have a rule that unless someone commited murder or rape or something on that level, anything older than like 2 years should be ignored Who hasn't cracked either a dirty joke or said something quite disrespectful since 2009?

Franch Toast 26,873 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I was wondering when Twitter was going to come for him, but I thought it'd be over his use of blackface like they when they came for Fallon. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTSTOP 3,137 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Did she even understand the joke back then? Come on, this is getting insane. This is literally just a Family Guy-level joke that will get over most young people's heads. You guys might find it funny and fun to create drama everywhere and cancel everyone left and right but some day that will turn around to bite you...

dynamite 59,372 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Are people just searching random celebrity names and going through old videos to find anything worth cancelling them over 10 years later? Tbh I bet every single one of us has something that would get us cancelled. It was a stupid, gross comment though and I guess she'd appreciate an apology. Well, or not. Because it would only come by force from this being dug up. Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was directed at ppl in the internet that chronically have nothing better to do than to dig up dirty on every celebrity going back a decade plus to make it a thing to begin with In a span of 10 years pretty much everyone has done or said really bad things unless they are a saint Society just loves to hold celebrities to impossible standards as if they themselves never make a mistake they could be "cancelled" for if they were celebrities or public figures themselves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever heard of a story called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? These woke ppl would probably be canceled too if they were celebrities Ppl are not that perfect. It's just that normal people say and do stupid things and it's forgotten or ignored but celebrities are literally under a microscope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
