She got her start right at the turn of the century, and soon found herself in starring roles in the “Transformers” franchise, “Jennifer’s Body,” “Jonah Hex,” and “Friends With Kids” to name a few. She was on top of the world in the late 2000s, but it soon came crashing down as she became blackballed after bad talking a famous director. But that didn’t stop her from getting roles within the past decade, like a recurring role on “New Girl,” playing as April in the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise, and appearing in her new beau, Machine Gun Kelly’s music videos (via IMDb). The blackballing also hasn’t stopped her from being a cultural icon.
As of 2021, she has five projects in the works ranging in film to voice acting, so it’s clear she’s coming back to mainstream (via IMDb). But do you know which iconic role of hers she isn’t a fan of?

She has also called the director, Michael Bay, a misogynist and a “nightmare,” stating that he once had her clean his Ferrari and had her on a skin-tanning regimen while filming. She even compared him to Hitler, but noted that she enjoyed his company outside of work (via LA Times Blog). According to People, her comments led to executive producer Steven Spielberg firing her from the set.
