FKA Twigs sues Shia LaBeaouf, Citing Relentless Abusive Relationship
- Thread starter Icolin
- Start date
I see a lot of people saying he's not denying it, and that's really not true. He's admitting to having issues and being a general asshole, but that's it.
He definitely seems to own it, but if he's not willing to get help and do something about it, that doesn't mean much.
I have to believe that people can change. I hope he can. If not I hope his career never recovers from this.
He didn't say shit until he got sued. Lets not start the forgiveness crap.
And if I can repeat my comment from a few posts up, he broadly denies most of the specific allegations. Folks sure are eager to have sympathy for him though...
I said nothing about forgiveness. I'm just surprised he didn't try and deny it.
I've never liked Shia, but I also had heard stories about his struggles with abuse and substance abuse, so I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he'd get help.
Not surprised in the least that it turns out he's a piece of shit. You can own up to it all you want, but that doesn't erase the horror that you put these people through, Shia. "Sorry," just isn't good enough.
I feel so bad for Twigs, and I hope she has a good support system to help her process her trauma and heal.
What a douchebag. It pisses me off that he's completely aware that he's an abusive shithead, yet it doesn't stop him from getting into a relationship and abusing his partner. Disgusting.

People will forgive any weirdo as long as they made something they liked. Like Roman Polanski got convicted of raping a kid and as long as Chinatown is still in his filmography people will play devil's advocate forever. Lebouf was a big enough part of enough people, especially boys, childhoods/teen that he'll get infinite chances with the public. Like, "He brutally attacked her, but have you seen 'Holes'? It really changed my life for the better."
Christ, imaging white-knighting for the dude who's biggest claim to fame is Indy 4 and motherfucking Transformers.
Some people...
Fuck this lunatic.
Just fuck him.
Absolute trash.
Deserves no respect or forgiveness.
So he basically never got past that crazy phase and actually got crazier. Just fooled people I guess and covered it up?
I don't understand this. Never in the man's entire career did he give any hint of being anything more than a mediocre actor who lucked the fuck out because Spielberg liked him (and we saw how quickly his career plummeted the moment that affection ended).
I'm not white knighting or making excuses for him but man I used to watch his disney show when I was like 10 and he was like the hottest actor out for kids during the 2000s.
Its like seeing a childhood friend you idolized just crashing and burning for like 10 years and you think they finally got it together and nope, hope lost he's been a monster, from a sweet kid and charming dude to a fucking monster.
My bad, I can totally understand that. I went through the same thing when I found out Kevin Sorbo was a Fundamentalist MAGA loser.
It's the power of parasoical relationships. People will defend an entertainer because they feel like they have a true friendship. If it was some young GOP congressman who did the same, or less, there'd be a less sympathy than there is for someone people have a "bond" with like Lebouf.

Hope Shia is punished appropriately. I've been there myself before and it's a fucked up thing to go through. Glad she's finally got free from that situation.
That is really fucked. Hope FKA Twigs gets justice. Respect to her coming out to speak up about this. I didn't even know she was with him, thought it was still Robert Pattinson.
Nah, still seems like an asshole to me, with or without substance abuse issues.
Not him too :(
At this rate... i really feel like at least 80% of Hollywood are in this boat, and it's really just a matter of WHEN, not if, something like this comes out for just about everybody in the film industry.
Clearly something is just systemically wrong with that industry, and/or it kinda comes with stardom and expectations etc. unless... most regular people are also secretly abusers and whatnot, which i doubt is true.

To be fair, Shia is probably the least surprising celebrity to turn out to be a piece of shit. He definitely needs help (and be punished).
Every time I think that Shia LaBeouf has redeemed himself something like this comes out. Now with optics and everything like that, you know he can apologize and look like he's redeemed himself down the line but it happens so much you know he'll end up doing some off the wall shit again.
Yeah, this guy needs fucking psychiatric help ASAP.
If he's been killing animals, abusing women, and lacking empathy, it sounds like he may start killing people.
FKA Twigs, I want the best for you.

Yeah, this is much more than just "needing help". He's a genuine piece of shit and he should be in jail.
I am sick of his whole "Troubled artist" shtick. Just because you have a fucked up childhood it doesn't give one the right to be an abusive asshole towards others. It also completely negates all the talent hey may have.
Because I followed him outside of his acting and he seemed like an alright guy with some mental issues. Now I see that he's just genuinely fucked up and trash. I don't want to see his face again.
Twigs can't catch a break, can she? I hope justice is served and she recovers.
Fuck Shia and his "troubled-artist-fighting-for-redemption" shtick.
This. fucking. guy.

No, actually his Shtick was ok and i didn't take issue with that... UNTIL it became clear he was running around shooting dogs and abusing people :(
