Resurfaced clip shows Jimmy Kimmel laughing as Megan Fox talks about Michael Bay sexualizing her when she was 15
Is this why Jimmy Kimmel is taking the summer off?
Jimmy Kimmel announced last week that his TV show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," was going on hiatus for the summer.
"I'm taking this summer off to spend even more time with my family," Kimmel said. "There's nothing wrong. I'm healthy, my family's healthy, I just need a couple of months off."
Many wondered if Kimmel was taking time off to allow the heat die down over resurfaced video clips of him in blackface doing an exaggerated impersonation of former Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone, especially since this has been the summer of canceling people.
On the heels of Kimmel's blackface controversy, another old clip has emerged that shows the progressive TV host in a very negative light.
A clip from an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" went viral this weekend, showing Kimmel laughing while actress Megan Fox explains how director Michael Bay sexualized her as a 15-year-old.
In the clip that has more than 3.3 million views in less than 24 hours, Fox is telling the story of the first time she worked with Bay on a movie. Fox, who had just turned 15-years-old at the time, was cast in the 2003 buddy cop flick "Bad Boys II." Fox, who was in 10th grade at the time, was cast as a bikini-clad dancer.
"The first time I ever worked with [Bay], actually, I had just turned 15 and I was an extra in 'Bad Boys II,'" Fox told Kimmel. "They were shooting this club scene, and they brought me in, and I was wearing a stars-and-stripes bikini and a red cowboy hat and, like, six-inch heels."
"He approved it, and they said, 'You know, Michael, she's 15, so you can't sit her at the bar, and she can't have a drink in her hand,'" Fox said. "So his solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath a waterfall getting soaking wet."
The crowd and Kimmel laugh, and he said, "Perfectly wholesome."
"At 15, I was in 10th grade," Fox said. Kimmel laughingly said, "Wow."
"So that's sort of a microcosm of how Bay's mind works," Fox added. Kimmel replied, "Yeah, well, that's really a microcosm of how all of our minds work, but some of us have the decency to repress those thoughts and pretend that they don't exist."
