Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the Transformers director took issue with Fox's remarks, saying that the actress is prone to saying "ridiculous things".
"Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do," Bay said. "You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it'. I 100% disagree with her."
Bay noted that his movies have helped to launch the careers of several top Hollywood stars.
"Nic Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him [in The Rock], nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in Armageddon," he said. "Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did Transformers - and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence from Bad Boys."
He continued: "Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films."
