Shia LaBeouf Caught Plagiarizing On Twitter Amid Orphans Dismissal!

shia labeouf orphans plagiarize

It is safe to say that Shia LaBeouf is in a downward spiral!

Ever since Shia quit his Broadway debut Orphans due to "creative differences" with Alec Baldwin, he has been trying to save his name by posting personal emails from his former co-stars on Twitter.

But leaking one of those emails has backfired because it has been discovered that a portion of it was actually pulled from soliloquy What Is Man? WITHOUT quotation marks or crediting author Tom Chiarella!

In the email titled "Apology" (below), Shia wrote:

"A man can tell you he was wrong. hat he did wrong. That he planned to. He can tell you when he is lost. He can apologize, even if sometimes it's just to put an end to the bickering."

Those are profound words, especially in his situation. However, the heartfelt meaning is lost as it is pretty obvious he was trying to deceive readers into believing they were HIS words.

We can only imagine Shia was trying to appear intelligent to those he was writing to, but now that they know he lied to them, he only looks straight up crazy!

Maybe it is best that he just STOP talking in this case! HA!

Not enough proof for you that Shia's gone off the deep end?? Ch-ch-check out the HOUR LONG audition he posted (below)!!!

As much as you plagiarize you've got a lot of nerve saying all this.

he doesn't need source his material in a personal email. it's really weird that he posted it and all, but you're just making assumptions regarding whether he wanted people to think they were his words.

Notations and accreditations are the holy grail of writing academics and journalists, and mostly only to avoid litigation as well as giving credit where credit is due. As an actor, it likely only seemed like a great line to Shia that demonstrated his view better than he could. He'll probably only make this mistake once.

This is one of the dumbest stories posted on here. It wasn't a dissertation, it was an email.

an email that he made public in the press - that is the equivalent of publishing it or reciting it on a show or film. Know the law before you open your dumb mouth Jessy-boy!

Are people REALLY expected to provide sources for everything they say now? It would be pretty weird to be provided with a bibliography at the end of every conversation.
