Filmmaker Michael Bay has slammed a story from TheWrap as “false, reckless and defamatory” after the publication reported he was facing charges linked to the killing of a pigeon on the set of the 2019 Netflix film “6 Underground,” according to Variety. The comments come after TheWrap reported that he was facing charges in Italy associated with the killing of a pigeon, a protected species in the country. AdvertisementBay, in a statement to the publication, referred to himself as a well-known animal lover and major animal activist. “As you know, Mr. Bay was never accused, much less ‘charged,’ with ‘killing’ an animal,” Rosengart wrote in the letter. Bay's attorney, in a letter obtained by Variety, said the filmmaker "was never accused, much less ‘charged,’ with ‘killing’ an animal" following a report by TheWrap.
