Troubled Career Plagued By Alcohol-Fueled Skirmishes
The 'Transformers' star's career has been plagued by booze-related incidents.
LaBeouf's past has been riddled with legal issues and arrests for alcohol-related incidents. In 2016, he spoke to Variety about his issues with drinking, claiming that being under the influence sent him "haywire."
"I can’t f--- with none of it. I’ve got to keep my head low," he explained. "I got a Napoleonic complex. I start drinking, and I feel smaller than I am, and I get louder than I should. It’s just not for me, dude."
In December 2020, LaBeouf's ex-girlfriend FKA twigs also sued him for "relentless abuse" and alleged sexual battery. He vehemently denied the charges, and told The New York Times he was "not cured" of his "PTSD and alcoholism."
"I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way," he continued.

The actor's ex-partner FKA Twigs launched a lawsuit against him for 'relentless abuse', which she later dropped.
LaBeouf further insisted he wasn't "in any position to tell anyone" how his behavior made them feel.
He added: "I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say."
While FKA Twigs ended up dropping her lawsuit, LaBeouf admitted to having suicidal thoughts following the scandalous headlines about him in a 2022 interview with Bishop Robert Barron.
"I had a gun on the table," he confessed. "I was outta here. I didn’t want to be alive anymore when all this happened."
He also said he'd was feeling "shame like I had never experienced before – the kind of shame that you forget how to breathe. You don’t know where to go. You can’t go outside and get like, a taco."
