Megan Fox pulls out of movie premiere because of allergies

Actress Megan Fox was forced to pull out of the Chinese premiere of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles this weekend (25-26Oct14) due to health issues.

The Transformers star showed up to the press conference for the film on Sunday (26Oct14), but was not able to make it to the red carpet premiere later in the day.

Many reports pointed to pollution in Beijing as the cause of her allergy issues, but her spokesperson has dismissed the gossip.

A representative tells The Hollywood Reporter, "She had an allergic reaction but not because of the pollution."
