Shia LaBeouf talks about the gay men incident that led to his arrest
Shia LaBeouf details his Mardi Gras arrest, triggered by three men he describes as "big gay guys" whose touch provoked fear rooted in a "Napoleonic complex." While asserting he holds no general animosity toward gay individuals and even funded transition surgery for others online, he frames the incident through his traditional Catholic lens, citing biblical prohibitions on homosexuality and referencing Martin Luther. LaBeouf interprets the event as a divine lesson against those seeking controversy, arguing the men should have respected his personal space despite his intoxication, before promoting a vehicle giveaway on officialhawks2.com.

Shia LaBeouf's Arrest Incident00:06:33
Okay, so Shia LaBeouf, he reveals that he got arrested.
There was an incident involving big gay guys.
Check this out.
Oh, that's scary.
The minute I get into trouble is with a very person who is after something.
After what kind of thing?
Like inciting a reaction?
I am an opportunity sometimes to someone.
That's not to minimize my behavior, but I get it.
I'm bright and when I walk around and I get, listen, if you're like a Twiggs fan or something like, I don't know, bro.
I have no idea, bro.
It's not my business.
It's not my business.
Here's what I know.
I can only deal with my side.
My side is this.
My behavior, I gotta deal with that.
Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again?
I'm just not into it, bro.
I don't think my answers are there.
I don't.
I really, I genuinely don't.
If I genuinely did, I'd go.
I don't think I have a drinking problem.
I think I have a different problem and I'm gonna address it.
What's that problem?
I think I have a small man complex.
Some kind of Napoleonic.
I don't know what it is.
I think it's something that has to do with anger and ego more so than my drinking.
But that's where I'm at now on my journey.
And I'm trying to navigate it.
I'll figure it out.
What kind of things set off that anger?
What kind of things set off that anger?
I mean, boy, I haven't experienced it for a while, but I'll be honest with you.
Big gay people are scary to me.
When I'm like standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me touching my leg, I get scared.
Don't worry, I'll be scared too.
I'm sorry.
Three big gay guys coming to me and they surround me and they doing this.
Who wouldn't be scared?
Then start doing insulin coffee.
I mean, that's a natural reaction.
Exactly.
He keeps going.
If that's homophobic, then I'm that.
Yeah.
Does that happen a lot?
No, it just happened one time recently.
Well, that's why I got arrested.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So you were sort of being groped and surrounded.
I'm not going to say that because my lawyer said, oh, dude.
It's okay.
Well, if it's illegal for a man to do that to a woman and it's considered a, isn't it a s when men do it to other men?
You would think, but I guess that would make you a sissy.
What?
You have the right to defend your sexuality.
Yeah.
You have the right to your own personal space.
And a guy squeezing your nuts is not it.
Who said he squeezed nuts?
Well, groping.
So that's what gay men do?
They squeeze your nuts.
That's what they do.
squeeze your nuts we can make it i i here i i um am wrong for touching anyone ever And that's the end of my statement on this whole shit.
Sounds good.
Cool.
I get it, but you have a right to defend yourself.
I guess he's trying to take accountability.
But don't those big gay dudes, they should practice some accountability as well if they kept their hands to themselves.
I mean, I learned that the first day in kindergarten.
Keep your hands to yourself.
But I see where he's coming from.
He doesn't want to say anything that's incriminating.
So he's choosing his words very wisely.
Right.
Moving back to like what kind of things would set off that Napoleon complex?
Being challenged, my masculinity, being challenged, somebody touching my girls, touching my kid.
I'm good with gay.
Be gay over there, though.
Don't be gay in my lap.
Hey, hey, that's reasonable.
That is totally understandable.
Yeah, but it gets better.
He explains how his religion helps him cope with homosexuals.
Check this out.
So you feel like when things that you feel that you possess in a way are challenged, like your girl, your kid, if someone gets in the way of what they want to do.
Yeah, if somebody, yeah, there's personal space type stuff, you know, which gets weird in Marti.
It's Mardi Gras.
That's why, bro, I was drunk and it's Mardi Gras.
So all of the thing, everything I'm saying is nonsense.
It's Mardi Gras.
Yeah, but even if it's Mardi Gras, they still have no right to touch you.
I get where he's coming from, but you don't have the right to touch you.
Right.
You know?
But it sounds like this complex is maybe something that you noticed for a long time.
I mean, maybe, bro.
I mean, my dad was raped by his cousin, so he was in my ear all the time.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe I am.
Who the f knows, bro?
I'm open to whatever somebody wants to say.
It didn't feel like that when it happened.
Look, this is the worst thing to say, and I'm not going to say it.
I never had no problem with gay people.
Never.
I remember paying for people's like transition surgery when I was around the internet heavy.
I've never been adversarial towards it, you know what I mean?
But I don't know.
I'm open to whatever.
If somebody's got more information on the subject, then let me know.
I know I'm deep off into the Bible.
I know what the Bible says about homosexuality.
What does it say?
Nah.
Everybody knows what it says about homosexuality in the Bible.
You don't have to.
I mean, you don't have to say it.
Everybody knows.
Yeah.
But he straightlined it.
He said it's nah.
It's forbidden.
Right, right.
There you go.
Homosexuality.
What does it say?
Nah.
That's what it says.
Yeah.
But wasn't that written a really long time ago?
Bro, you can do whatever you want with the text.
It's not my business.
You know what I mean?
I'm a traditional Catholic.
That's okay.
What's the difference between a traditional Catholic and, let's say, a more progressive Christian?
I really.
No, Bray.
No, it ain't no such thing as no progressive Christian.
Either you're Christian or you're not.
That's blasphemous.
You going straight to your progressive Christian.
You got to be out your mind.
All right.
He gets deep into his religion and I hip some couple of homosexuals.
With the Bible.
You believe in stuff?
Yeah.
Who do you think's down there?
Who's down there?
Yeah.
You just baiting homosexuals.
I think he was baiting them, right?
Yeah, yeah, he was baiting them.
You wanted to say it?
Who do you think's down there?
Big gay homosexual.
Martin Luther, the man who wrote the Protestant Martin Luther's there.
Yeah, he's got the special hair.
He's gone.
That was gone.
For denying the divinity of the Pope.
There's a whole lot.
We could talk about this.
There's the whole rest of the interview.
I don't want to do that either.
I'm not Mel Gibson.
I'm not trying to be out here doing that either.
God bless you.
I love you too.
I'm not that guy either.
I'm not angry with my Christianity like that.
I just really believe in what I believe in.
I'm not trying to proselytize nobody.
I'm not trying to hold no traditional Catholic line.
I'm not so weirdo like that, tight ass.
No, none of that, bro.
I'm on my relationship.
I'm in a full-blown love affair with Jesus.
And I believe what I believe.
One thing you did mention earlier was this certain type of person that creates confrontation when they see you for whatever reason.
Finding Lessons in Controversy00:01:28
Sure.
Maybe they bring up controversy.
They want to film you.
They want to heckle you.
Do you find that that is oftentimes a trigger for you to be like, yo, get the out of my face?
God's involved, bro.
I'm learning my lessons.
You know what I mean?
I'm on the path.
These people that was involved in this, there's growth that needs to happen.
And through them, it will.
That's how I look at life.
You know what I mean?
They're a blessing to me.
I'm about to learn whatever lessons I'm about to learn.
I don't know how long I have to sit, but I'll learn lessons there.
This is God.
God's involved.
That's why I'm not like bumming out about it or nothing like that.
Like, I'm really, I feel like I'm on the path.
So you feel like even when things go wrong, there's a higher power trying to teach you something.
I learn more when things go wrong.
That's right.
You do.
He said he's going to grow from this, this incident.
Shouldn't those big gay guys grow from this?
Keep their hands to themselves?
Well, they're a protective class.
They can do whatever.
But if he's straightened, if you're straightened Christian, I mean, you can't say, you can't do or say anything.
That's a progressive Christianity, huh?
Yeah, that's exactly.
Progressive Christianity.
If y'all don't leave Charlotte Buff alone, you better look out for Bumblebee.
And he jumps out of the bushes on your ass.
