In the past, he faced accusations of physical and psychological abuse by his ex-partner.
American actor Shia LaBeouf was detained by police in New Orleans after allegedly physically assaulting two men during the Mardi Gras carnival. The incident occurred downtown. The actor was apprehended by officers in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans after reports of violent behavior. According to local authorities, LaBeouf had a conflict in a hotel where he was acting aggressively.
A hotel employee allegedly attempted to escort him out of the building. However, the situation escalated into a physical altercation. The actor reportedly struck the man several times outside the hotel. Witnesses later claimed he returned to the scene and attacked another man, hitting him in the nose area.
After police intervention, he was taken to the hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries. He was then officially detained and charged in connection with two assault cases.
LaBeouf rose to fame in the early 2000s, thanks to the American television network Disney Channel. He later starred in movies such as Fury and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He played the teen Sam Witwicky in the Transformers series.
After 2020, the actor nearly disappeared from the Hollywood scene after his former partner and musician FKA Twigs accused him of physical and emotional abuse. LaBeouf denied the allegations, and the matter was settled out of court last year.
