Though reports say Megan Fox was dropped from the "Transformers" franchise, she's now saying she dropped outta the movie by choice.
A rep for the actress tells PEOPLE, “Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3. It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”
Nikki Finke reported it was "ultimately" director Michael Bay's call to give Fox the ax -- and a new love interest will be cast for Shia LaBeouf in the new flick.
