Shia LaBeouf has been accused of assault, domestic abuse, battery and a variety of other threatening and violent acts towards his ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs. She woke up to find him choking her nearly to death in the middle of the night, completely randomly. She also had him slap her around for talking to male waiters in restaurants — she is not allowed. And once he even unbuckled his seatbelt, drove full-speed into a desert and threatened to crash his car and kill them both unless she confessed her undying love for him…
According to his ex, LeBeouf made a list of rules and regulations to which she had to comply at all times:
- She had to never look other men in the eye and stare at the ground when male personnel would address her.
- She had to give him physical affection, hugs and kisses at certain specific times during the day, and a specific number of times.
- She had to sexually service him any time he wanted to and could not refuse him. Ever.
- She was forced to sleep naked every night and could not wear pajamas or a night-gown at any time.
For many months she felt threatened, terrified of her boyfriend’s behavior. He was hot and cold. Started extremely sweet and affectionate towards her only to push her away later and become jealous to a creepy and obsessive degree. He choked, hit and kicked her. Forbade her contact with family and loved ones.
Shia LeBeouf is a victim of domestic abuse. Growing up with an alcoholic father, he was often hurt as a child and grew up to be a violent alcoholic himself, copying the abusive behavior he saw as ‘normal’ all his life…
“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel,” he said in an email to The New York Times. “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”
Shia LeBeouf is a terribly broken human being. Sadly, he has taken his traumas out on many of his ex-lovers. After his ex-girlfriend shared her story, other exes also came out of the woods with similar stories. LeBeouf does not deny a thing. He is sorry and will accept his punishment.
