"Who wouldn't have a fallout with [Bay]?" O'Dowd, 32, tells The Toronto Sun. "It's one of the sexist things I've ever seen. She called him an a–hole. Well, he is a f-cking a–hole. She's not the only one who has said that. Why has she been singled out?"

For those who have forgotten, Fox once compared Bay to Adolf Hitler on set. After Bay got wind of her comment, producer Steven Spielberg reportedly told him: "Fire her right now."

Though O'Dowd has never worked with Bay, 47, he knows Fox hasn't had an easy time since she was dropped from the Transformers franchise.
