"Shia LaBeouf had a hectic weekend down in New Orleans, where bartenders and Mardi Gras attendees alike testified to his erratic behavior before he was arrested on February 15 for two charges of simple battery. For those of us of a certain age, the news of LaBeouf popping up at a random bar in a random city and wreaking havoc is borderline old-fashioned. He made a habit of this in the 2010s,"
"Over the past few years, LaBeouf has managed to keep his screaming to a minimal and (mostly) onscreen habit. When Leo Lewis O'Neil's documentary, Slauson Rec, about the actor's fitful attempt to host a theater workshop premiered at Cannes in 2025, audiences were uncomfortable bearing witness to LaBeouf's rage. His temper also played a critical role in Mike Figgis's Megadoc, a behind-the-scenes look at how Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis got made,"
Shia LaBeouf experienced a volatile weekend in New Orleans and was arrested on February 15 on two simple battery charges after bartenders and Mardi Gras attendees reported erratic behavior. He reportedly attempted to act as a "celebrity bartender" and loudly offered acting advice before a dispute that led to his arrest. LaBeouf established a pattern of disruptive public appearances in the 2010s and faced a lawsuit from ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs alleging long-term abuse. Recent documentaries have captured his on- and offscreen rage while he publicly pursues recovery and promotes films addressing his addiction, including Honey Boy and Henry Johnson.
