The director sent a legal letter accusing The Wrap of purposefully spreading misinformation about a bird death that never happened.
Filmmaker Michael Bay is in “extreme anguish” over a story that claims he was charged in Italy for killing a pigeon, according to his lawyer.
It’s illegal to capture, harm, or kill pigeons in Italy, where the animals are a protected species. Bay has vehemently denied any involvement in the alleged pigeon death, telling The Wrap when the story came out: “I am a well-known animal lover and major animal activist.” The legal letter takes strict aim at The Wrap, which Rosengart accuses of intentionally ignoring Bay’s innocence to paint him as a pigeon killer.
