I think he may be finally done after this. He's done a lot of weird, questionable and illegal shit over the years, but he's always kind of skated away from serious repercussions because he gets excused with the talented tempermental artiste cliche.
But being sued for beating up and sexually assaulting your ex-girlfriend (who also happens to be a celebrity in her own right) is next level. That shit won't fly today.

My heart goes out to FKA twigs. I hope she is getting the help and peace she needs and deserves.
I also help LaBeouf gets the help he needs to allow him to understand and stop his abusive patterns before he ends up destroying someone or himself.

I have to admit I'm always baffled by this guy - never liked his acting in anything, even in Honey Boy where he gave a mannered and fake posturing turn to me.
Doesn't seem like he has anything else coming out or shooting..........and it may be a looooooooooong while. Which might be better for him to get some help......sad story that hints it may get worse too.......

Looks like Olivia Wilde dodged a bullet on her current film.

Looks like Olivia Wilde dodged a bullet on her current film. I'm actually halfway through reading "Don't Worry Darling" right now, and just thought that Harry Styles (no matter what you may think of him) feels like a major upgrade and fits the role much, much better than LaBeouf, then saw this article! Bullet dodged. Especially as the role... (Major spoilers) ... is that of a man who gaslights, brainstorms, abuses and fakes the death of his wife to keep her as a submissive sex slave in an alternate universe. There's no way they could've released the film with LeBeouf after these allegations.

The funniest thing about that whole ordeal is that Hardy was in his Warrior/Bane phase... it really is one of those "Yeah, Shia, you sure did!" moments.

If he did such things, then he's a huge SOB and his career is practically over.
(Actually, his career during the last few years already seemed finished...)

Disappointing but not surprising. Feel awful for Barnett and hope she's surrounded by support. She's been through so much shit these last few years.

Honestly, I think his career was doing more than fine in the lane he wanted to be in...which was doing mostly indie work percieved as challenging and gaining critical and industry respect as an edgy and uncompromising "artist". Stuff like Honey Boy, American Honey, The Peanutbutter Falcon and Pieces Of Woman have been very well recieved in the indie/arthouse/festival circuit and have given Labeouf the kind of artistic credibility he has always craved. He's worked hard to escape Transformers and Even Stevens, and I'd say he pulled it off . I'm pretty sure he has fuck you money, so can afford to do low paying indie movies just for artistic reasons. The way his career was going, I could have seen him eventually being nominated for an Oscar and making a return to more mainstream Hollywood films. Can't see that happening now after these events, but aside from that poorly recieved David Ayer flick ( The Tax Collector) the stuff he was doing recently was earning him a lot of credibility and respect in critical circles.

Can't see that happening now after these events, but aside from that poorly recieved David Ayer flick ( The Tax Collector) the stuff he was doing recently was earning him a lot of credibility and respect in critical circles. Yeah, his career trajectory the last few years was actually pretty solid. He'd recovered pretty well after the dumpster fire that was his plagiarism scandal and the "breakdown" paper bag incident (and, it should be remembered, there were allegations about domestic violence plaguing him even then, with Mia Goth). Fury and Honey Boy are stellar performances that deserved to be nominated, and he was doing great work with auteurs like Andrea Arnold. I was beginning to think he'd be the heir apparent to someone like Sean Penn: a bad boy who, after a period of calm, gets enough cred to get recognized. But then this shit happens. Shia LaBeouf is a good actor who would stand a strong position of being a top talent of his generation. I always appreciated him for his bold and offbeat nature at selecting and playing roles, most of the time doing it in such a way that I can't see anyone replicating what he's doing. His originality was always what attracted me as a viewer. But fuck him sideways for this. There's no defense for it.

I'm with you terry, his career was not doing as well as people seem to be saying here because being the indie film guy doesn't mean much in the late 2010s - when indie film has decreased in its niche anyway.......he wasn't a special actor at all and he wasn't dominating movies either he's just in most of those movies. That's being a capable actor not necessarily a good actor or one where everything is going great career-wise.............he's 34 there's a lot of people at that general age ahead of him in multiple acting levels be it stardom or talent. Pacino let him read for something once (Lear? He wishes......) and he was supposed to do a movie with De Niro - After Exile - which could have been something major but Miles Teller replaced him and it remains in pre-production. .........but he was a good writer or a writer to watch out for at least - if anything Honey Boy was an interesting script my problems with his performance aside.................... and we even had a thread about his writing actually on this board: movie-awards-redux.freeforums.net/thread/16863/shia-future-oscar-winner

It'll be interesting to see if Robert Pattinson says anything or condemns Labeouf, as he is FKA Twigs ex-boyfriend, but their relationship ended on good terms.

He won't stop though. I mean, he's shameless enough to plagerise stuff and enter script writing competitions meant for screenwriters looking for a break or looking to advance their careers. He'll still see himself as someone whose "art" the world needs to see. He currently mostly works at the low budget indie level, and can probably raise enough finance (or even self-finance) to make more projects of his own like Honey Boy. What will be interesting to see is if critics continue to support his work, or turn their backs on him and give his work lousy reviews to try and hasten his exit from the industry (ie, what they are currently doing with Nate Parker).
