La Beouf, a child star who rose to fame as a teenager on the Disney Channel’s “Even Stevens,” has garnered both mainstream and indie success, from “The Transformers” franchise and “Indiana Jones” to recent critically-acclaimed films like “The Peanut Butter Falcon” and “Honey Boy.” LaBeouf also threatened to embarrass her with personal text messages and other information, “clearly to terror Tahliah into submission and keep her from taking any further action,” her lawyer writes. “In response to this peaceful overture, LaBeouf played games and downplayed the seriousness of the situation,” the suit states, adding that LaBeouf’s attorney “cruelly dismissed the sexually transmitted disease LaBeouf had infected Tahliah with as ‘not that bad.’” She also asked him to make a donation to a violence shelter. “Simply put, LaBeouf’s reckless disregard for the health and safety of his partners makes him a danger to women everywhere,” the lawsuit states.īarnett’s attorney says she tried to diffuse the torment, along with another one of LaBeouf’s former girlfriends, stylist Karolyn Pho, by suggesting he seek help for his mental health and substance abuse. In regards to the STD, the suit accuses LaBeouf of transmitting the disease to other unsuspecting women, as well. The suit alleges that LaBeouf admitted to the Valentine’s Day incident when he forcibly slammed the musician against his car and attempted to strangle her, telling “another woman, whom he was cheating on Tahliah with at the time, that he had dragged Tahliah out of his car by her collar.” Barnett filed this suit to prevent others from unknowingly suffering similar abuse by him.” LaBeouf agree to receive meaningful and consistent psychological treatment.” In a statement, the lawyer says, “Since he was unwilling to agree to get appropriate help, Ms. The plaintiff’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, tells Variety that he and his client tried to resolve the matter privately “on the condition that Mr. The lawsuit lays out a slew of horrific allegations, ranging from verbal to physical abuse. Her life became a “living nightmare,” according to the lawsuit, which says LaBeouf groomed her, “gradually gaining Tahliah’s trust and confidence with the intent of abusing her,” and then engaged in a “continuous stream” of verbal and mental abuse, “belittling” and “berating” her, which soon turned physical and “increasingly violent.” There is nothing else I can really say.”īarnett entered into a “tumultuous” relationship with LaBeouf, after wrapping the film “Honey Boy,” which he co-wrote, inspired by his childhood and relationship with his father. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt.
I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. LaBeouf said not all the allegations were true, in an email statement to the New York Times, which also reported he said, “I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. Representatives for LaBeouf have not responded to Variety‘s request for comment on the allegations. The lawsuit also claims LaBeouf knowingly infected her with an STD. LaBeouf was so possessive, he would count the number of kisses she would give him on any given day, and berate her if it wasn’t enough. LaBeouf continuously belittled his then-girlfriend, and is accused of having frequent rage and bouts of jealously, even accusing her of dwelling on her former fiancé, actor Robert Pattinson, the lawsuit states. Barnett, feeling “trapped” in their shared bed, fearful he might accidentally shoot her if she stood up, would often text friends in the middle of the night to devise an escape plan. LaBeouf apparently was paranoid and suffered recurring delusions about gang members breaking into his home, so he slept with a loaded rifle at their bedside, but insisted on keeping the front door unlocked. LaBeouf also demanded she slept naked, and forced her to watch documentaries about murdered women before going to bed, per the public filing. Barnett, an animal lover, was “profoundly disturbed and terrified.” When filming “The Tax Collector,” LaBeouf got so into character, according to the lawsuit, he took on the role of a gangster in real life, and claimed to drive around Los Angeles, shooting stray dogs dead, so that he could get into the “mindset” of a killer.
I have been in an abusive relationship that has isolated me.
After the alleged altercation, Barnett texted a close friend, writing, “This is difficult to say but I am sure you know.
