Of the open letter he sent to Olivia Wilde this week<\/span>\u2014discounting her assertion that he was \u201cfired\u201d from every movie Don’t Worry Darling<\/em>\u2014Shia LaBeouf mentions former romantic partner FKA Twigs only once. \u201cMy failings with Twigs are fundamental and real, but they are not the narrative that has been presented,\u201d he wrote, presumably referring to a series of song that the British musician has made against him<\/span>, suing him for \u201csexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress\u201d during the course of their relationship. \u201cThere is a time and a place to deal with such things,\u201d LaBeouf wrote to Wilde, \u201cAnd I am trying to navigate a nuanced situation with respect for her and the truth, hence my silence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In contrast, LaBeouf reportedly didn’t mention Twigs’ name at all<\/span> during a new episode of Jon Bernthal’s podcast Real Ones <\/em>tonight (apparently, the aforementioned \u201ctime and place\u201d to break his \u201csilence\u201d), instead only referring to her as \u201cthat woman.\u201d For example: \u201cI hurt that woman,\u201d he tells Bernthal during the interview, although he doesn’t appear to have addressed many of the specific addressed against him. (LaBeouf formally denied all of Twigs’ accusations against him in 2021<\/span>when he filed a motion to have her case against him dismissed.) \u201cAnd in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people,\u201d he added, in a manner similar to comments he made in December 2020<\/span>, asserting that he had been \u201cabusive\u201d both to himself, and others, \u201cfor years.\u201d \u201cAnd many other people before that woman. I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with the Wilde letter, LaBeouf\u2014who admits in the interview to infidelity and not disclosing STDs to sexual partners\u2014cites the birth of his daughter as a transformational moment for him. He goes on to call \u201cthat woman\u201d a \u201csaint\u201d who \u201csaved his life,\u201d because \u201cHad she not intervened in my life and not created the avenue for me to experience ego death, I’d either have a really mediocre existence or I’d be dead in full.\u201d (LaBeouf also states, as he has elsewhere this week<\/span>, that he considered killing himself after the became public. \u201cI went and loaded up a gun and sat on my table.\u201d)<\/p>\n

LaBeouf\u2014who’s currently starring in Abel Ferrara’s Padre Pio<\/em><\/span>\u2014noted how that \u201cego death\u201d stemmed from his status as a member of \u201cthe tribe of the fuck-ups.\u201d \u201cI’m a very public sinner, a very fallible person in the public sphere, What I think now my purpose is, is to not do\u2026 The other examples that we’ve had of how to navigate something like this \u2014 which is to go after the woman, or try to win a court case, or get back into a fucking movie or like get back on at all.\u201d (Padre Pio <\/em>will debut this year in competition at the Venice International Film Festival.)<\/p>\n

LaBeouf posits himself as he is now as a \u201cbillboard, for a principled way of living.\u201d He also drew comparisons to Josh Brolin and Mel Gibson as actors who’ve been accused of domestic abuse in the past, and tried to chart a course through Hollywood in the aftermath. He also mentioned that he now has a \u201csquad\u201d of \u201c60 dudes\u201d who he has weekly Zoom meetings and bike rides with so that he can get feedback on his actions, \u201cin real time.\u201d <\/p>\n

The two-hour interview is available on Bernthal’s Patreon<\/span>. In a clip from the conversation made public on his Instagram<\/span>Bernthal (who starred with LaBeouf in 2014’s fury <\/em>and then in 2019’s The Peanut Butter Falcon<\/em>) weighs in himself, apparently attempting to chart his own response to the, saying, \u201cI don’t know what it’s like to put my hands on a woman, or for a woman to say I put my hands on her.\u201d He also says that his role as LaBeouf’s friend is to ensure that \u201cyou never do it again,\u201d while also expressing support for him.<\/p>\n

FKA Twigs made her against LaBeouf in 2020<\/span>. they currently have an April 2023 court date set for the argument<\/span>.<\/p>\n
