- Shia LaBeouf, 28, lived in an LA gallery for 5 days and invited the public to sit with him, one-on-one, in silence for his #IAMSORRY art show
- Nine months later he reveals one woman raped him during the show
- He said his girlfriend of two years Mia Goth was in the queue outside
- LaBeouf does not explain whether he didn't stop the 'attack', he was reportedly silent in every meeting
It's no wonder that Jimmy Kimmel told Shia LaBeouf that he 'seems to have gone crazy' when he interviewed him recently.
The
star was arrested for criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and
harassment at a Broadway production of Cabaret, after being photographed
chasing a homeless man around Times Square and was filmed sitting in
silence for an hour - bar a few giggles - with a British journalist.
He also turned up to the premiere of his film Nymphomaniac wearing a paper bag over his head.
Now the Hollywood star is claiming that a woman raped him on Valentine's Day.
LaBeouf claims the incident happened during his week-long #IAMSORRY performance art installation.

'It was painful': Shia LaBeouf claims a
woman raped him on Valentine's Day during his #IAMSORRY performance art
installation at the Stephen Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles, California
For
five days, the 28-year-old actor invited the public to visit him
one-on-one in a small room in a Los Angeles gallery where he sat wearing
a paper bag over his face that read: 'I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE' - the
same one he wore to the film premiere.
But
three days in, a woman allegedly stripped and raped the former Disney
Channel actor while their respective partners stood in line.
LaBeouf
did not explain whether he attempted to stop the alleged attack during
his silent performance at the Stephen Cohen Gallery. He was reportedly
unresponsive and silent during every one-to-one meeting.
The Nymphomaniac actor opened up about the incident on Thursday during a bizarre interview with Dazed Digital, conducted over email before he and the reporter sat staring at each other in silence for an hour.
'One
woman came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this
happened,' the Daytime Emmy winner wrote in his email interview.
'[She] whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me.
'There
were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with dishevelled
hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man
as well.'
He
explained Mia Goth, his girlfriend of two years, was among the
'hundreds' waiting for a one-on-one with him when the woman left his
room.
For full hour meeting visit Dazed
The 28-year-old actor recalled: '[She]
whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and
proceeded to rape me...as hundreds of people [stood] in line'
'We both sat with this unexplained
trauma silently': Even more unsettling was that Shia's girlfriend of two
years, Mia Goth, was among the 'hundreds' waiting for a one-on-one with
him (pictured on Tuesday)
'Some would hold my hand and cry with
me, some would tell me to "be a man"': The Nymphomaniac actor also felt
terrible when gallery patrons would 'come in, take my [paper] bag off,
pop off a selfie, and bounce'
'It was Valentine’s Day and I was living in the gallery for the duration [February 11-16] of the event,' LaBeouf wrote.
'We were separated for five days, no communication.
'So it really hurt her as well, as I guess the news of it travelled through the line.
'When
she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn’t speak, so we
both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful.'
LaBeouf
also vented his frustration at gallery patrons who would 'come in, take
my [paper] bag off, pop off a selfie, and bounce.'
'Some
would hold my hand and cry with me, some would tell me to "figure it
out" or to "be a man." I’ve never experienced love like that; empathy,
humanity.'
In the wide-reaching interview, LaBeouf confessed that he longed for the kind of family he saw in the 1990 flick Home Alone.
'I always had a f****d up view on masculinity,' he admitted.
'Metamodernist encounter': After
corresponding with British reporter Aimee Cliff for two weeks online,
the pair donned GoPros and sat together silently in LaBeouf's London
hotel room last month
Seriously? The pretentious, hour-long
'metamodernist encounter' was mostly a chance for the two to stare
awkwardly with intermittent giggles
#IAMSORRY was the culmination of
several bizarre incidents - belligerent outbursts, plagiarism, and
public martyrdom involving paper-bag masks marked: 'I am not famous
anymore' (pictured February 9)
'My
father [Jeffrey] was a gun nut like Hemingway. He was also a junkie and
a bully, mainly to prove he wasn’t effeminate, even though he was a
painter and a poet, a mime, and a storyteller.'
