Filed under: Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf LaDouche is "embarrassed" by the 'slapping fight' video that's been circulating on the internets.
You know, the one where LaDouche successfully provokes a pal to give it to him by calling him a “faggot.”
Shia's rep says, “The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend. He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone.”
So young, so much to learn.

Quote of the Day
Daddy's In Town!
So what? He's still HOT .. oh yeah and a good actor 2 ..
I'd still do him.
Don't care if it was a few years ago, he's still a jerk. He's let his success (heaven knows I don't know why he's successful) go to his head. At the end of his days he'll be wandering around a Walgreen's.
This guy is such a dweeb. How did he ever get attention? From a world of dumbshits.
hmm
he's annoying
1st bitches
OMG, I might be first - or at least top 10.
TO be honest though - it sucks that he used such a derogatory term - but let's be real - many people use that term ALL the time in everyday conversation - he just happens to be a celeb that got caught.
If it's really a few years old…well, hopefully he's matured since then.
I am glad that he did this. He was young and being stupid. Lesson learned.
He has a weird looking face and the hairstyle doesnt help much!
"So young, so much to learn,"??? Oh, shut it! Since when has YOUR site ever been a fan of political correctness? It's obvious he was just playing around…and in my opinion, that video just makes him look even more human, more approachable, and even more likeable.
Shia is not homophobic and was just a kid being a kid. It is ridiculous that he had to apologize for this.
who cares! he doesn't need to apologize, everyone is just way to hyper sensitive.
oh whats the fuss?
thats not offensive…
poor shia
i still love him. stop hatin perez.
thats normal,
nothing to "learn"
lol. seriously everyone's just a normal human being.
what do you expect! perez you are farrrrr from perfect
can people not have fun? big deal. he isn't singing a racist song…
he's hott and this is pointless to even post.
Perez this guy was like 17 when he did it. All straight guys in their teens say dumb shit and call people fags. Get over it.
yeah! how dare he behave like a normal guy! pft. who does he think he is? messing around with his guy friends? no one does that! just homophobes! right? hahahahahaha!
Who cares everyday people jokingly call their dumb names all the time. Every person on this website at one time or another called a friend a fag or a retard. Yeah it's wrong but it's life.
It's a word, idiots. The PC and sensitivity police are killing society.
good lord, people will be offended by anything it seems. Apparently y'all don't know what it's like to be around teenage boys. Guess what? THAT is how they talk. Get the fuck over yourselves.
If anyone's a douche, it sure as hell ain't Shia. Take a look in the mirror before calling people names. So he said something he shouldn't have. This was ages ago, it was a private video that no one was ever supposed to see.
Get the fuck over it.. Yes I said the F word.. Which probably as commonly used as the one Shia said.
it's his birthday!! give him a break!!!
WELL THAT'S HOW AVERAGE PEOPLE THINK AND SPEAK. HE'S WAS TRYING TO FIT IN.
oh my god..people just need to relax. people do say that all the time and don't mean a thing. he was just being a "normal"human being who was drinking, having fun with his friends,playing a stupid game. let him be. tons of people do this kind of shit all the time he just has the misfortune to be in the limelight. so what.there are much bigger things happening
Give him a break. He is young and was even younger when the video was taken. Yes, he used a word that I do not agree with, but he was among friends and said a stupid thing. The video shows young boys, that is what they do, they are immature and do stupid stuff. We criticize young actors for not being mature, but then we turn around and criticize them again when we think they are acting too old. Sounds to me like they can't win.
Shia is and was being a normal young man that used an inappropriate term amongst friends, never thinking it would reach the public. Give him a Break!
who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought the video was funny when i first watched, i mean come on! its a bunch of guys being NORMAL guys! all young guys do stupid shit and think its funny, get over it! i mean have you ever walked into a fraternity hosue…personally i think its funny as hell to see him being stupid! love shia!
He was kidding. Besides, people use that word constantly. How many friends of mine, who KNOW that I am gay will say about something "that is so gay." If I got angry everytime they said that, I'd have no straight friends. People really need to relax. Shia rules in my book.
Seriously, leave it alone! Who cares, he didn't mean it the way he has to appologize for. He was just saying it and being silly. We've all said it at one time or another. He is SO F'n Hot anyways, it doesn't matter what he does or says!
It's a joke, get over it
I'm So glad i'm not the only one that things it's dumb he even had to apologize. People need to take a giant chill pill if they were honestly, deeply offended by the antics of a teenager being silly with his friends. I love Shia!!!!!!!
In all fairness — until the last two years, that word did not have the same taboo status as it does now. It was even used on Will and Grace. NOT SAYING THAT IT IS NOT OFFENSIVE. But we should look at his use of the word in context. I'm glad that he knows better now and trust that he will DO BETTER going forward.
If it is a few years old, wouldn't that make him too young to partake in the beverages shown in the last frames of the clip? Just wondering if anyone else noticed.
BFD
You constantly use derogatory terms in 90% of your blogs Perez… so what's the biggy?
that shit is so old! they showed that a year ago! are you so fucking desperate thats all you got! its so stupid! seriously! goodluck and take care!
diddo
the vid doesn't work anymore, what did he say?
Shia is was young then
get over it! If everyone had to apologize for saying a word that isn't politically correct we couldnt say any thing because we would all be saying sorry all the time.
he's human
WHO CARES I love him. I'd still marry him haha
Seriously? You wanna get offended over that word? It was used in jest. It's seriously just a word. I hear gay men and straight men saying it left and right as a joke.
Perez, you need to find a new thing to get your panties in a twist over. Learn to understand when somethings a joke and stop trying to cause small riots over nothing.
for all the shit you talk about other people on your website, you should't care about what other people say. Your site can be funny at times and sometimes ignorant. You live in a glass house.MArio so throwing stones..im done with your site…
a lot of teen guys use that word when they are talking to their friends, they don't really think about what it means. it's not that big of a deal, its not like he was sitting in a crack den singing a racist song.
anyways shia's still hot
Shia is amazing. He is not a bad guy at all. He should not have to apologize for a word that is considered offense nowadays, that he said in a video years ago. Remember a word is only a word until you give it more of a meaning.
That video was not made for the public and whoever released it was just looking for 15 min of fame at the expense of a friend. Sad and pathetic.
oh well, I mean it JUST became a huge (public) deal to say that word and most people who use it aren't trying to be derrogatory to gay men
who cares if he called his friend a fag? thats gay that you're bringing it up
Why should he be embarassed hes a 19 yr old kid so what,remember that video of you dancing yesterday?We all do funny dumb shit so what!
he's such a douche bag. I can't look at him the sameway, omg even steven reject
i agree with janet.
Excuse me? You're 30, and you still have so much to learn about respecting other people.
all the apologizing is getting old. he was at a private party with friends…not doing the news. can we all just calm down already?
I SMOKE A FAG ON MY LUNCH BREAK OOPS.I APOLOGIZE,MY FAULT I SAID A DEROGATORY WORD FOR A GAY MAN AND I WAS'NT EVEN TALKING ABOUT ONE BASISH ME TO HELL RUIN MY CAREER I GUESS I'M EVIL.WHAT MAKES YOU PEOPLE THINK YOUR SO SPECIAL THAT EVERYONE SINGLES YOU OUT PURPOSELY TO HURT YOU?
HE IS FUG AND IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SHOWER….ALWAYS GREASY
my God, the media stops at nothing… who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we all have done silly things, Why don't the actors and actresses in hollywood get hip and start digging up dirt on reporters and following the paparrazzi around… start digging thru their trash cans, start following them all over… disrupt all their family events…stalk their children…… maybe then this bullshit will stop… why why why haven't they thought of this yet???
does it really matter ? come on we dont care what he said it alright !!! Plus, many people use that term ALL the time in everyday conversation… SO it not because SHIA said it it all the sudden not accpetable … anyway
o0ok it was a few years back he was young and uninformed…so hold on to your pannies…y give him shit for that stop??? whinin!
Happy Birthday to Shia! I still love you! =)
Somebody call a wammmbulance the Queers are offended. GET OVER IT!
Oh please, leave him alone he didn't do anything wrong. I have gay friends who use that word towards each other, get over yourself.
who cares? he wasnt hating…over it! coming from a gay man…
hi.
you need to lighten up and get over it.
some of my best friends are gay and i say fag all the time, but i dont mean it as an insult in any way. i dont think this video should give him a bad reputation at all, he was a teenager just messing around with his friends and that shouldnt be put under the microscope.
Mario,
You say someone has "gayface" so you can call attention to a specific trait. So, you use the term "gay" to single something out. To illustrate a difference. Because being "gay" is being different, right? Just to use your logic.
I won't say you can't pick and choose when you want to apply your logic. You're a big girl (and I do mean "big"). You can do what you want. Luckily, you're not the judge to whom anyone needs to repent. See you in the 9th Circle, Gossip Girl.
fuck the fags!!!!!! so they got their panties in a twist over something he said in PRIVATE. when did the homo dick suckers become the PC police?? he should have NOT apologized for that. that makes him a punk bitch too. why is he worried about a bunch of butt fuckers anyway?? might hit him with their purses??
This kike/yid/jewboy out to be more sensitive toward monorities, and the slang by which they are known.
He is a kike.
A yid.
A jude.
And a jewboy.
who cares? i've seen the video and all it did was make me think that he's just like any other 21 year old guy i know.. get the fuck over it and stop trying to make a huge deal out of shit nobody could possibly care about. shia labeouf is a normal guy in hollywood.. imagine that. it makes me like him more. chew on that shit, bitch.
I knew he was an asshole!!!!
Ugly shit!!
oh whatever, American hetros are always going to use that word and its not about gay or straight, not everything is about you gay people, I know you are mostly narcasists (or your culture is) but stfu.
Granted, what he said wasn't "pc", but neither are you Perez. You question/make fun of people's sexuality constantly…but is it only okay to do that since you're gay?
Re: FUKNO – I agree. He's nasty looking. Girls forgive him cuz they THINK he's hot (no taste). He's just another young overrated punk in showbiz who's full of himself. Plus, it seemed he was either nasty drunk or high in the video. Is he old enough to drink (or was he when the video was shot)? Also, Perez you're sickening too. You are a FAG, and you call lebians LEZBO. What's up with that? Heal thyself.
If it is sooo old, why is there alcohol at the end????
Maudit kié beau ste ptit bonhomme la pcq ki vole un oeuf vole labeouf
Ohhh comon… not a big deal. Give the guy a break, he was young and caught up in the moment with his friends. I still love him to death!!!!
P.S.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIA!!!!!!!!!!!
who gives a shit? everyone says that stuff
…i'd still do him.
wait how do I see it, they took it off youtube, is there any other way to see it?
Re: bri – hahhahahaha.
You're offended that some young guy teased his friend with the F word? What, are you retarded?
lol… who cares, hes young, we all do stupid things when we're drunk and with out friends… who ever leaked the video is a douche!!!
Oh please! He shouldn't have to apologize. People are so easily offended for the dumbest thing. If everyone had videos posted from the last time they were at a party I'm sure it would be even worse
whatever, shia is so fugly and overrated.

yeah right,.
Having not seen the video myself, I can't know the exact context of the comment, but if it was filmed awhile ago, and he is 20 something, then he was a teenager. While teenagers can sometimes say stupid things, it doesn't excuse the fact that it was wrong. Youth isn't an excuse. Youth have the ability to control their actions and the things they say and should be responsible for said things. I mean in reality, many people, even the best of people, have weak moments. Unfortunately for this kid, he has to have the whole world call him a homophobe during a weak moment, whereas many of us don't get reprimanded at all! Furthermore, the use of provocative and derogatory terms on this site, whether directly or indirectly, is no different than this comment. "Celebutard" is a pull on "retard", and perez calls people sluts, bitches and ho's all the time. And not only that, he uses them to publicly insult people. How is this any different? Calling a girl a slut is insulting to damaging to her character This is essentially the same as "fag" being offensive to gay people.
I heard Shia is gay.
so the other day when you said there were problems in "dykeville" thats okay but this is offensive to you and now you refer to someone as a douche…wow talk about hypocritical blogging…but thats what you do right…you talk about britney being crazy have you looked in the mirror lately?
LEAVE HIM ALONE…IF THIS IS AS "SHADY " AS HIS PAST GETS …LAY OFF!!
CAN KIDS NOT MAKE MINOR MISTAKES ANYMORE ??
GIVE ME A BREAK!!
I saw this video and its not old… Shia is a homophobe and I officially hate him, he can go suck his own cock.. Thats really not cool what he did I hope he turns into a druggie and ruins his career…..
OKAY, SO I AM STILL DWELLING ON THIS….
PEREZ…YOU CALL PEOPLE TERRIBLE NAMES ON A DAILY BASIS…AREN'T YOU BEING A BIT OF A HYPOCRITE!!! SHAME ON YOU!
I read through 86 responses and no one has caught on to the real significance of the posting of this video on YouTube - within the last few months Shia has spoken in interviews about dropping lifelong friends who "no longer fit his current lifestyle".
Each one of us will have a different reaction to his words (I find it very mildly offensive, but no big deal). But the more troubling issue is that Shia is beginning to prove that he is not very good at relationships - whoever posted the video clearly meant to embarrass him, and the timing (on his 22nd birthday) was no accident. His clear lack of ability to deal with women as people instead of objects is also troubing, especially from someone who is NOT dumb (provisionally admitted to Yale, if I remember correctly).
I think that Shia is talented (maybe very talented - so far, he's been better than the material he's been given to work with) (especially his terribly- written part in Indy 4).
But Shia needs to get his off-camera life under better control if he is to reach his potential.
what the fuck, you can call him a douche? but he can't say fag?
ok, I'm going to stir the pot here. Yes, he was young & stupid. However, what would all of your responses be if he'd said the "n" word — quite different, I'm sure. And, as well, it's not harmless, and it's not funny, and it's not an excuse that "all teenage boys say that." I'm sure if you were gay and heard that every day while you were in high school it would affect you. Maybe that's why there are so many attempted suicides among young gay men in high school, and why so many are bullied to stay in the closet. Bottom line, hopefully he's learned from it, but it's not harmless and it's not an excuse and it's not just being politically correct. Funny how you guys only care about SOME minorities.
I think this whole thing is RIDICULOUS. Why do we have to give such power to a word? I don't understand? The United States in general is so incredibly PC, it's disgusting. Everyone needs to get over themselves and deal with the fact that many people use that term and other's like it everyday. It's just a word people!
So young is right, Perez. The rep said it was several years old. You use derogatory words towards people everyday that you do not personally know. You can dish it, but you can't take it.
Re: Amber – Amber, lesson #1 in Hollywood is that one should take NOTHING that a publicist says at face value. Anyone who has been following Shia for the last few years can tell from the way he looks in the video that the party probably happened within the last year…..
OMG Are these people not allowed to have a life outside of the public. He was young and many people use the word. It's about time people realize just because someone uses a word dosen't automatically mean they are saying it to be racist or offensive. It is pretty bad that people can't have fun or anything because of a friend selling him out now that he is famous. Nobody would have cared if he was a nobody.
Ummm….weren't you all upset not too long ago when an actor used this same term on set…didn't you call repeatedly for him to be fired????
Why aren't you as outraged when there is a tape of another actor using the same word?
You are censoring? WTF?
and i would be more than happy to teach him. come here little boy; i got something for you. yummy.
i cannot believe that stars actually have to apologize for stupid shit like this. first off, it didn't even happen during a point in time where anyone knew who shia labeouf was. and besides that, he was trying to egg the guy on to hit him (i.e. offending him on purpose). whether you're gay or straight, you have to have used some sort of word to offend someone in your lifetime, and i think you're bull$h!tting if you say you haven't.
