Shia LaBeouf Might Be Getting Sued For Plagiarism! Plus, Did He Also Plagiarize Tiger Woods In His Apology?!

Shia LaBeouf has apologized for plagiarizing his short film HowardCantour.com.
Maybe it’s the fact that his apology was ALSO plagiarized, but it just wasn’t good enough for wronged author Daniel Clowes, who is reportedly looking at his legal options against Shia.
Clowes’ editor Eric Reynolds wrote:

“His apology is a non-apology, absolving himself of the fact that he actively misled, at best, and lied, at worst, about the genesis of the film. No one ├óΓé¼╦£assumes├óΓé¼Γäó authorship for no reason. He implied authorship in the film credits itself, and has gone even further in interviews. He clearly doesn├óΓé¼Γäót get it, and that├óΓé¼Γäós disturbing. I├óΓé¼Γäóm not sure if it├óΓé¼Γäós more disturbing that he plagiarized, or that he could rationalize it enough to think it was OK and that he might actually get away with it.”

Shia has since taken to Twitter to make a more genuine attempt at an apology. He tweeted:

I have let my family down, and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.

I was wrong, terribly wrong. I owe it to future generations to explain why.

It’s certainly not financial remunerations for theft, but it’s a start, right?
Only, the first tweet is actually from Tiger Woods‘ 2009 public apology for cheating.
And the second is from General Robert McNamara‘s book about the Vietnam conflict.
WTF?? Well, Shia did at least write one original thing. He tweeted:
