Shia LaBeouf fights addiction under public and legal pressure

Shia LaBeouf fights addiction under public and legal pressure

Actor Shia LaBeouf was ordered to go to rehab after being arrested Feb. 17 during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

He was involved in a fight with two men and allegedly uttered homophobic insults, according to Page six.

He now faces three misdemeanor battery charges.

At a recent court hearing, Judge Simone Levine said she wasn’t sure LaBeouf was serious about his drinking problems.

She, however, denied his request to go to Rome and set bail at $100,000. He must also pass drug tests and enter rehab.

Sources say the punishment could allow him to attend online drug rehab, as they described LaBeouf as someone who can act like he’s serious about recovery, even though he doesn’t believe he has an addiction.

In a recent interview, he said his behavior was due to a “little man complex” and not alcohol.

He added: “It’s never nice to hurt people. People have been hurt. I have to deal with that.”

LaBeouf split from wife Mia Goth last year and sources say she wants him to get help.

His friends warn his drinking could lead to serious problems as his future in Hollywood is uncertain and he will return to court on March 19.
