• Honey Boy, released back in 2019, was seemingly based around Shia LaBeouf’s real-life experience as a child star in the early 2000’s (Even Stevens, Holes etc.). In addition to

So his dad wasn’t abusive and he lied, but Shia is abusive and he admitted it and then denied it. Almost like he’s a compulsive liar who loves attention.

James was abusive in some ways but not in others as his actions were changed for the film… (but who really knows what the truth is with Shia this all can be for attention wrapped up in some kind of misguided misunderstanding of what being a good Catholic is )…
also, his dad was in jail for attempted rape and did attack a worker who is homosexual on the set of even Stevens for hugging his son…this is not a good man

Going after Jon is very strange he basically had him on his podcast w/permission to be taped admitting not only is he(Shia) a known liar but admitting to hurting fka twigs multiple times. Shia no longer has a leg to stand on for his upcoming lawsuit. bernthal Seems to have done a service by exposing this complete moron.

I don’t know or care about this Jon, so I’m not criticising him but he probably didn’t know Shia would own up to being a liar and abuser when he gave him the time to speak.

[dr_bong]

If you listen to the way he questions him (more or less accuses him) I think Jon definitely had an inkling of what an idiot he is from working with him previously…

[automaticpeople]

I haven’t listened but I’ll trust you on that one. I’m glad Shia has been exposed and I hope FKA gets her justice when they’re in court.

[daijouboo]

IIRC when they worked together on Fury, Shia cut his own face in front of Logan Lerman, neglected his personal hygeine, and for some reason had a tooth removed?

[dadeepish]

Lol what? Jesus Christ. He’s got so many problems.

[ari_angelique]

I think he had the tooth removed with no anesthesia as well to prove his manhood or something I guess.

[callonme_84]

Oh

[brokencrystal7]

doesn’t jon call shia his friend tho? and was asking people to listen to the podcast with an open mind or something?

[blankstare]

Yep. Both are true.

[brokencrystal7]

yeah so i don’t understand this framing of jon “accusing” shia when questioning him or thinking he’s an idiot when jon and shia are clearly friends and jon is definitely sympathetic towards him. if anything, they are both idiots with one being an abuser and the other being cool with being friends with a well known abuser and providing him a platform

[buries]

+1!!

I question someone's intentions if they have a known-and even a self-acknowledging-abuser on their podcast and they give them a platform to continue their abuse rather than, I don't know, challenge it. Otherwise, he's just furthering his abuse.

I also just irrationally hate Jon because I think Frank Castle sucks, so I'm definitely saying this with bias.

[unintentionalty]

His opinion of his father could also be in some sense revisionist history because since making that film he's become a father and probably has complicated feelings about what his child may have to reckon with.

[erin805]

That’s a really good point

[blorpz]

also wasn't the movie made as part of a rehab program? like he was playing up being a victim for public sympathy
