Shia LaBeouf seeks treatment.
The actor recently made headlines when his ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, charged him with physical, emotional and mental abuse in a lawsuit.
The charges were filed by the musician – born Tahliah Debrett Barnett – on December 11 and details several alleged incidents, including the actor who ‘recklessly’ drove a car with Barnett in it and ‘threatened to crash unless she expressed her love for him’. per package.
Commenting on the New York Times, LaBeouf said he “has no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations.”
He has since faced more issues in the form of similar allegations from singer Sia and having his name removed from Netflix’s pricing considerations page.
Now it looks like the “Honey Boy” star, 34, is moving forward.
“Shia needs help and he knows it,” LaBeouf’s lawyer told Variety on Dec. 24. “We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment he badly needs.”
LaBeouf’s past is also steeped in strife as he struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol and suffered several public breakdowns after rising to fame as a young star on Disney Channel’s “ Even Stevens. ”
Until the scandal broke, the actor was considered an award-winner for his upcoming Netflix movie “Pieces of a Woman” opposite Vanessa Kirby, who was already a favorite to take home an acting trophy this season. However, sources told the outlet that the streamer and even the actor himself felt that campaigns should target Kirby and Ellen Burstyn.
After filing the lawsuit, FKA Twigs directed its allegations on Twitter.
“It may be surprising to you to learn that I was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship”, she started a series of tweets. “It was also difficult for me to process, during and after I never thought something like this would happen to me.”
Barnett said when she came forward, she hoped “to help people understand that when you are under duress by an abuser or in an abusive relationship with an intimate partner, leaving does not feel like a safe or viable option.”
