Sources say Shia LaBeouf was going through a difficult time personally and professionally before his arrest in New Orleans.
Police were called to the home of the 39-year-old Transformers actor multiple times recently. Meanwhile, people working with him on his recently finished movie, The Rooster Prince, became concerned about his unusual behavior during filming.
According to TMZ, police visited Shia LaBeouf’s home in Los Angeles several times before his separation from Mia Goth, 32, which occurred five months ago.
In November 2024, police responded to a report of a domestic dispute, according to the source.
According to reports, a woman repeatedly told someone to ‘just go’ during a phone call as she attempted to convince her husband to leave. A man could also be heard swearing in the background.
The Daily Mail has reached out to LaBeouf’s and Goth’s representatives for comment.
A representative from the City of Pasadena confirmed to TMZ that police were called to the home, but no official police report was made.
In August 2025, police received a call about a possible stalking situation. The caller told them an acquaintance was experiencing mental health issues and believed she was married to Shia LaBeouf.
The person who called reported that the woman was extremely angry with him, seemed to be following him, and was threatening to go to his house.
The person who called also mentioned someone was excessively focused on the actor online, but it’s unknown if the actor was aware of this call or the potential stalking situation.
Police documents obtained by TMZ included LaBeouf’s address.
According to the Daily Mail, Goth left her husband after five months of a difficult marriage. They share a three-year-old daughter named Isabel.
I’ve always known Shia LaBeouf was deeply affected by Maya Goth. He’s talked about her being his anchor, especially during some really tough times. In 2022, while he was in rehab battling his ongoing struggles, he actually said she ‘saved’ his life – and he didn’t hold back saying it. It was incredibly raw and honest.
Goth first met LaBeouf while filming the provocative 2013 movie Nymphomaniac, which was her first film role and known for its explicit sexual content.
The couple got married in Las Vegas in 2016 with an Elvis impersonator officiating. They briefly separated and filed for divorce in 2018, but got back together two years later. Their daughter, Isabel, was born in March 2022.
Just before his recent arrest on two simple battery charges, people working with Shia LaBeouf on the film The Rooster Prince were worried about his unusual and unpredictable actions on set.
According to a source at TMZ, Shia LaBeouf reportedly experienced significant and unpredictable shifts in his emotions, leading some on set to wonder if he was struggling with personal issues.
Some believe Shia LaBeouf’s recent behavior might be connected to his deep involvement in a role where he played someone struggling with mental health.
Despite the actor’s legal issues, filming for the new project is still on track, according to an insider.
Shia LaBeouf was arrested Tuesday morning after a fight during Mardi Gras celebrations. Video footage shows him hitting a man with his head during the altercation.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of battery. After receiving medical attention from paramedics, he spent the night in jail in Orleans Parish, Louisiana.
Following his release from jail on Tuesday, LaBeouf went back to the Mardi Gras parade to continue celebrating.
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans while celebrating Mardi Gras. The arrest happened outside a bar on Royal Street in the French Quarter.
Police say an employee tried to remove Shia LaBeouf from the venue, but he reportedly punched the employee multiple times with a closed fist.
LaBeouf then left, but came back, ‘acting even more aggressive,’ according to the report.
Several people tried to restrain him, but they eventually stopped, hoping he would go away. He’s accused of then hitting the first victim in the upper body with punches and punching another person in the nose.
The actor was again held down by at least two men until officers arrived, the police report said.
According to the New Orleans Police Department, the celebrity was hospitalized for undisclosed injuries before being taken into custody, as reported by the Daily Mail.
FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf, alleging abuse during their relationship from 2018 to 2019. She accused him of sexual battery, assault, and causing her emotional distress.
Two years after FKA Twigs (Barnett) first sued him, Shia LaBeouf publicly admitted to harming her during an appearance on the REAL ONES podcast, though he didn’t mention her by name.
I caused a lot of pain, not just to that one woman, but to many people over a long period of time. I was driven by my own desires and was deeply selfish, dishonest, and afraid to consider the feelings of others.
I was really following this case, and it looks like it’s finally over. Barnett decided to drop the lawsuit for good – she won’t be able to bring those claims back to court later. I heard from their legal teams in July 2025 that they’d actually reached a settlement outside of court, which explains why she dismissed it.
The couple released a joint statement expressing their hopes for each other’s future happiness, success in their careers, and overall peace of mind.
