In a resurfaced video from 2009, the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' host makes a joke over the 'Transformers' actress' confession that she was told to 'dance underneath a waterfall' in a bikini as an extra in 'Bad Boys II'.

AceShowbiz - Jimmy Kimmel is facing the wrath of people on Twitter after an old interview resurfaced online showing his reaction to Megan Fox's confession of being sexualized by Michael Bay at 15. In the 2009 clip from "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", the then-23-year-old actress described working with the director for the first time as an extra in the 2003 movie "Bad Boys II" when she was a mere teenager.

"I was wearing a stars and stripes bikini and a red cowboy hat and six-inch heels, and he approved it," she recalled. "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 hands."

"So his solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath the waterfall, getting soaking wet. I'm 15, I was in 10th grade," she reiterated, as the audience laughed and applauded instead of being horrified. Jimmy quipped, "Perfectly wholesome."

"That's sort of a microcosm of how Bay's mind works," she added, to which Jimmy responded, "Yeah, well, that's really a microcosm of how all our minds work - but some of us have the decency to repress those thoughts and pretend that they don't exist."

The original poster of the video wrote along with the clip, "Clip from 2009 where Megan Fox tells a story about Michael Bay sexualising her as a 15 y/o. The crowd laughs, and Kimmel makes gross jokes. Teen girls being preyed on by older men has never been taken seriously and still isn't."

In another part from the same interview, Jimmy offered Megan a drawing of himself and the actress "together" in bed with the late-night talk show host trying to stick his tongue in her mouth.

People have since reacted in disgust to the resurfaced clips. "The way Hollywood and the media treated Megan Fox in general was deeply disgusting," one person tweeted. Another echoed the sentiment, "What an utterly disgusting take by Kimmel. Why is, 'I'm so sorry that happened to you', something that is beyond his imagination to say. Instead he offers, 'We all have those thoughts, but we repress them'. God damn, she was 15. Who the Hell is 'We'?"

"why do men tell on themselves," a baffled user commented. A fourth person reacted, "I think Fox's reaction shows a lot. She's so clearly visibly upset by Kimmel's reaction but can't say anything to his awful joke. This is terrible to watch, it's a kind of abuse in real-time. Even a high star celebrity is not immune."

Someone else blasted Jimmy, "basically said, 'we all have thoughts sexualizing minors but we keep quiet about it bc we are good guys.' i knew there was a reason i always instinctively disliked jimmy kimmel." Another added, "And she repeatedly stated 'I was fifteen' like trying to see if it will hit home for Kimmel but... Sucks!"

Megan went on to work for Michael in the first two "Transformers" movie, until their relationship turned sour and she departed from the franchise. She has previously shared her unpleasant experience working with the filmmaker, once describing him as "infamous for being a tyrant on set."
