Normally, you and I agree on quite a bit, but I have to disagree with you here.
His misdirections were getting bigger and bigger as time went on, but for her spokesperson and Paramount themselves to come forward and say she's gone...that's just not the kind of power Bay has.
Besides, if it was a ploy, it could bring her really bad press and she needs a lot less of that right now.
Pulling a prank like that could be a career killer. Quitting the franchise could be too, but punking the public definitely could be.
No, this time, I think it's legit and Bay had nothing to do with her quitting. By now, he'd have made a comment on it. He hasn't.
