Shia LaBeouf says he admits to his past wrongdoings where he was a selfish and self-centered person who cheated on every woman he ever dated and now he is reflecting on his mistakes and looking forward to a future where he will be 'useful.'
Shia LaBeouf Confesses He Has Cheated On Every Woman He Has Ever Been With
Shia LaBeouf confesses that he has cheated on every woman he has ever been with.
Shia was sued in 2020 by his ex, musician FKA Twigs, who accused him of sexual battery.
The actor denied the allegations and a trial date for the civil case has been set for April 2023. In a recent interview, the actor came clean about his wrongdoings in the past.
Speaking on Jon Bernthal's Real Ones podcast, Shia said he has a 'long list of people that I need to make amends to', admitting that he has 'cheat[ed] on every woman I've ever been with' and never told his sexual partners about 'getting cold sores'.
Without explicitly naming FKA Twigs - real name Tahliah Barnett - he said: "I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.
"I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centred, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being."
He continued: "I f***ed up bad. Like crash and burn type s***. I hurt a lot of people, and I'm fully aware of that. And I'm going to owe for the rest of my life."
Reflecting on his past wrongdoings and looking forward to the future, the actor said he wants to be 'useful.'
He said: "When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now… 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."
When the allegations against the actor were first brought, Shia took to social media to defend himself, however, now he says his accuser - who he didn't refer to by name - is a 'saint' who 'saved my f***ing life'.
He said: "Had 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."
Shia also admitted that he contemplated suicide after the allegations were brought against him publicly.
Speaking with Bishop Robert Barron of the Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, he said: "I had a gun on the table. I was outta here. I didn't want to be alive anymore when all this happened.
“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. But I was also in this deep desire to hold on."
