The past few weeks have seen Shia LaBeouf consumed in another wave of legal issues due to an outing in New Orleans. While embarking upon a multi-day bar crawl amid Mardi Gras, the 39-year-old actor was arrested after a fight with several other men and charged with two counts of simple battery. After LaBeouf shared a brief initial statement, he spoke out about the incident in an interview that’s since gone viral. Now, one of the star’s former colleagues is weighing in on that chat, and he didn’t mince words when sharing his thoughts.
LaBeouf discussed his latest arrest and his personal life while appearing on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. The Disturbia alum, who reportedly yelled homophobic slurs at the men he came to blows with, shared some information on the scuffle and said he was to blame. Callaghan also asked LaBeouf if he needed to return to rehab, to which the actor asserted that he didn’t think he needed to. Denying that he had a drinking problem, LaBeouf said a supposed “small-man complex” was to blame for his issues.
