"Shia LaBeouf wasted no time returning to the French Quarter's Bourbon Street after the controversial actor's arrest for battery during Mardi Gras Tuesday. The Transformers star, 39, has been charged with two counts of simple battery after allegedly punching two people, one of whom he hit multiple times, local outlets report. Footage published by TMZ shows LaBeouf decked out in traditional Mardi Gras beads as he's approached by a passerby, who asks whether he's famous, which the actor denies."
"The outlet reports that other footage shows LaBeouf flaunting his release papers as he parties. It was nice to see you. I heard you got out of a situation today, the man says as LaBeouf weaves in and out of the interaction to chat with others. Some TikTok posts showed a more engaged LaBeouf enjoying the spotlight and posing with fans. WAFB reporter Liam Combs asked how he was enjoying the festivities, which LaBeouf said were amazing."
"The alleged Bourbon Street brawl comes just months after the Honey Boy star and writer settled a sexual battery lawsuit with ex-girlfriend FKA twigs. The Grammy nominee, 38, leveled her claims against LaBeouf in 2020. Early Wednesday, an already released LaBeouf cryptically tweeted: Free me. He was taken into custody early Tuesday for the altercation, for which he's set to appear in court March 19."
