“Shia LaBeouf hurts women,” the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court said. “He uses them. He abuses them, both physically and mentally. He is dangerous.”

Shia LaBeouf's statement
"I'm not in any position to tell anyone how my behaviour made them feel," he told the NY Times accepting his past misbehaviour towards FKA twigs and a second former girlfriend who also accused him of abusive conduct.
"I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations.... I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say," he said.
