It never ends with this man.
Shia LaBeouf’s legal troubles intensified this weekend as the actor was arrested for the second time in connection with a violent Mardi Gras brawl, while simultaneously facing a devastating lawsuit from former girlfriend FKA twigs alleging years of physical and emotional abuse.
The 34-year-old actor voluntarily surrendered to New Orleans authorities Saturday on an additional misdemeanour battery charge stemming from the February 17 incident outside Royal Street Inn, where police say a shirtless LaBeouf punched multiple patrons, used homophobic slurs, and possibly dislocated one victim’s nose.
His attorney claims the $100,000 bond requirement unfairly targets her client for his celebrity status.
Meanwhile, singer FKA twigs filed a Los Angeles lawsuit Friday depicting LaBeouf as a “dangerous” predator who allegedly choked her, slammed her against cars, and knowingly gave her an STD during their relationship.
The suit includes similar accusations from another ex-girlfriend.
LaBeouf, who was ordered to rehab last week, told The New York Times he has “no excuses” for his behaviour and remains “ashamed” of hurting those close to him.
