Shia LaBeouf Shares Full “Support” For Doc About Violent Behavior At His Theater Company


Nearly five years after his theater collective disbanded, one of Shia LaBeouf's former protégés is shedding light on his volatile teaching methods.

As Slauson Rec director Leo Lewis O’Neill prepares to debut his documentary about the free theater school the actor established at the titular recreational center in Los Angeles in 2018, LaBeouf has given the film his blessing. Depicting a time in the actor’s life after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and just before his ex FKA Twigs sued him for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress—he has denied the allegations, which are scheduled for trial in September— Slauson Rec reportedly features footage of LaBeouf having dark outbursts and initiating physical violence. After sending LaBeouf a rough cut of the trailer and getting his blessing, O’Neill even had the Disney Channel alum agree to do an interview for the project.
