Shia LaBeouf says ‘gay people are scary’ in bizarre first interview since Mardi Gras bar brawl arrest

by

I’ve been following Shia LaBeouf for a while, and it’s interesting to see him openly talking about what happened with his arrest in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Apparently, he’s finally sharing his side of the story about that bar fight.

Okay, so I watched the interview with him on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan on Saturday, and honestly, I was floored. It was just… a lot. He said some seriously shocking things, and as a longtime fan, it was really hard to watch, but I couldn’t look away. He’s clearly still going through so much, and it all just came spilling out. I’m still processing it, honestly!

Among them was a claim that he felt ‘scared’ when approached by three gay men on Fat Tuesday.

During a conversation, LeBeouf admitted he feels intimidated by larger gay men. He specifically described feeling scared when approached physically by a group of them, saying, ‘When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared.’ He acknowledged this reaction might be considered homophobic and stated he accepts that label if it applies.

He described the argument, saying he’d been drinking and felt crowded, but acknowledged he wasn’t thinking clearly and took full responsibility for his part in it.

He took responsibility for using a homophobic slur, explaining, ‘I said something hurtful and inappropriate. I didn’t mean to offend anyone… I was wrong.’
