(Photo: Rich Fury\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nActor Shia LeBeouf is speaking out about the hera of abuse brought against him by his ex-girlfriend, musician FKA twigs, which were first made public in a 2020 interview with The New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\nIn a two-hour appearance on Jon Bernthal’s Patreon-exclusive podcast Real Ones<\/em>LeBeouf, 36, did not name the artist \u2014 whose real name is Tahliah Barnett \u2014 but told the podcast host, \u201cI hurt that woman,\u201d variety <\/em>report.<\/p>\nHe added that in the process of hurting Barnett, who he met when they worked together on his semi-autobiographical film Honey Boy<\/em>he “hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.”<\/p>\n“I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being,” he continued.<\/p>\n
Saying he \u201cf***** up bad,\u201d LaBeouf referred to his behavior as \u201ccrash and burn type s***.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I hurt a lot of people, and I’m fully aware of that,” the Holes <\/em>star said. “And I’m going to owe for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\nLaBeouf, who is now a father to a daughter with partner Mia Goth, also shared that he \u201ccheated on every woman I’ve ever been with\u201d and didn’t notify sexual partners about “getting cold sores,” adding that he has a \u201clong list of people that I need to make amends to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without using her name, he referred to Barnett as a \u201csaint\u201d and said she \u201csaved my f****** life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\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 said. However, when the first thoughts surfaced, his immediate reaction was of suicide, determining that he was \u201cgonna kill myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI went and loaded up a gun and sat on my table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
LaBeouf instead said he experienced \u201cego death,\u201d and is now seeking a greater purpose in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy purpose, and I mean this with every fiber of my being, is to be instructive with my life, so that I can be an advertisement, like a billboard, for a principled way of living,” he shared. \u201cWhen I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now\u2026 I need to be useful. And when I look at this #MeToo environment, there’s not a whole lot of dudes that are taking accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n
Story continues<\/button><\/p>\nIn her 2020 interview with the New York Times<\/em>, spoke about the alleged Bar abusenet she perpetrated during her relationship with LeBeouf, and revealed the lawsuits she was bringing against him a result. She discussed the progression of the allegedly abusive behavior, including how she had to keep her eyes down when men spoke to her, and she was n’t allowed to wear clothing to bed. LaBeouf also allegedly kept a loaded firearm by the bed, which frightened her. The lawsuit also claims LaBeouf knowingly gave Barnett a sexually transmitted disease.<\/p>\nThe relationship allegedly became physically abusive, as per the suit, LaBeouf allegedly “drunkenly pinned her to a bed” and “head-butted her, enough that she bled.”<\/p>\n
In an interview with <\/em>CBS This Morning<\/em> <\/em>last year, Barnett said it’s a “miracle” she got out of the relationship alive. She recalled a time LaBeouf attacked her at a gas station.<\/p>\n“He picked me up and he threw me against the car and started strangling me and that’s when I realized I needed to get help to get out of this relationship,” she shared. “I remember after that weekend, going back to where I was staying and looking at myself in the mirror, one side of me was, like, completely black. And I was so shocked, you know?”<\/p>\n
LeBeouf is back in the news this week due to the impending release of Olivia Wilde’s movie Don’t Worry Darling<\/em>, in which he was originally cast as the lead role opposite Florence Pugh. He was replaced by Harry Styles following his exit. In a recent interview with variety<\/em>, <\/em>wilde <\/em>implied that she parted ways with LaBeouf after determining his acting process wouldn’t translate to a “safe, trusting environment.”<\/p>\n“I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work. His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions,” Wilde told variety<\/em>. “He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances.”<\/p>\nIn response to Wilde’s interview, LaBeouf contacted variety<\/em>providing <\/em>emails, text messages and video disputing Wilde’s claims he was fired. LaBeouf provided a copy of the email he sent Wilde, stating that he knows “that the news of my firing is attractive clickbait” as she begins the Don’t Worry Darling<\/em> press tour. He suggested that due to Barnett’s, which came out after he parted ways with the film, it was favorable for the director to appear she fired him \u2014 which, he said, was not the case.<\/p>\n“My failings with Twigs are fundamental and real, but they are not the narrative that has been presented,” LaBeouf wrote. “But this situation with your film and my ‘firing’ will never have a court date with which to deal with the facts. If lies are repeated enough in the public they become truth.”<\/p>\n
LaBeouf continued, stating “Firing me never took place, Olivia. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. It is not the truth.”<\/p>\n
Yahoo Entertainment reached out to representatives of LaBeouf, Barnett and Wilde but did not receive a response at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
