I normally think it's kind of dumb to bring up things that happened years ago, especially to celebrities that were teenagers at the time. But this man was over 40 at the time. And there's no real deconstruction of societal ideas in this case. This isn't a change of culture. Pedophilia hasn't been okay for the longest time and I'm not sure why we're excusing this man in this case. She was 15 and being sexualized. And after she spoke up about this she was conveniently fired from Transformers and Michael Bay hosted trashy comments about her on his website. Instead of sympathizing with her he made a joke of the situation and dismissed her feelings. All around disgusting.

I don’t get it. Is he saying that because she was underage and dressed in a bikini, “that’s how all our minds work” is a reference to the hollywood pedophile ring?

Cancel him over the blackface he did (now thats offensive), not some lame slightly offensive, but harmless jokes we all have made in the past.

This doesn’t seem that bad to me. Maybe I don’t understand the joke? 

Basically he was insinuating everyone would like to see a hot teenage girl dancing under a waterfall.

It's not funny just like everything said by Fallon , Ellen and most of these hosts but cancelling sombody for something that ain't even offensive 11 years later is just boredom of life that you have to dig for these stuff

It wasn't that bad. He even said that some people have the decency to repress those thoughts and Bay is not one of them. People need to star knitting or baking, idk. Anything but being on the internet.

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?

 

Next!

Sometimes it feels like there is a group somewhere that spends their time searching through all internet and TV from decades ago trying to find controversial stuff to bring up now.

I'm sad the Michael Bay has sooooo much power that she has to defend him inorder to work. 

Also Jimmy doesn't need to be canceled. He needs to apologise for a joke in which he says all men sexualize teenage girls. It's disgusting.

I didn’t really read about this to closely, but I already don’t like Jimmy Kimmel at all, so he can go away lmao. He’s the most unfunny person.

Or maybe she honestly didn’t feel like he sexually assaulted her??? Geez.. I’m sorry but some people legit look into everything trying to find something offensive. If she herself said she didn’t experience anything inappropriate then let’s just listen to the girl who’d actually know and let’s not assume stuff.

It's not about asualt. I didn't say anything about assault or even objectification of women. It's about the objectification of underage girls.

Also Michael Bay has written some really nasty things about Megan, which shows his contempt of her about speaking up.

And we all know that it was Transformers was unsafe because Shia actually lost fingers on Michael Bay's set.
