Shia LaBeouf is seeking treatment.
The actor was recently caught in the headlines when his ex-girlfriend, the FKA Twigs singer, accused him of physical, emotional and mental abuse in a trial.
The lawsuit was 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 inside and “threatened to collapse if he did not confess his love for him”. on the suit.
In a response to the New York Times, LaBeouf said he had “no excuse for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations.”
Since then, she has faced several issues in the form of similar allegations from singer Sia and that her name has been removed from the Netflix awards review page.
Now it looks like the 34-year-old “Honey Boy” is moving on.
“Shia needs help and she knows it,” LaBeouf’s lawyer told Variety on Dec. 24. “We are actively looking for the type of significant, intensive and long-term inpatient treatment he desperately needs.”
LaBeouf’s past is also full of conflicts, as he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and suffered several public failures after becoming famous as a young star on Disney Channel’s “Even Stevens.”
Until the scandal broke, the actor was considered a contestant for his upcoming Netflix movie “Pieces of a Woman” with Vanessa Kirby, already a favorite to take home an acting trophy this season. Sources said, however, that the broadcaster and even the actor himself considered that the campaigns should focus on Kirby and Ellen Burstyn.
Following the trial, FKA Twigs addressed the allegations on Twitter.
“It may be surprising to you to learn that we have had an emotionally and physically abusive relationship.” a series of tweets began. “It was hard for me to process, during and after I didn’t think that would happen to me.”
Barnett said that coming forward, he hopes “to help people understand that when you are under the coercive control of an aggressor or in a violent intimate partner relationship, leaving does not feel like a safe or achievable option.”
