Watch: #ShiaLaBeouf Was Raped By A Woman While Her Boyfriend Waited Outside!

Shia LaBeouf was raped by a woman at his “I Am Sorry” art installation earlier this year, where he sat in a gallery in absolute silence for days and met people without talking. The actor described the incident in an email he sent to a writer for “Dazed” named Aimee Cliff. Shia and Aimee then had a weird “interview” in which they both sat in silence for an hour in a London hotel room, wore GoPro cameras and stared at each other in silence. Read Shia’s email below and watch his strange interview with Aimee.

Shia wrote about the rape:

“One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then striped my clothing and proceeded to rape me… then walked out with her lipstick smudged to her awaiting boyfriend who i image was quite hurt by it. All this happened in front of hundreds of people… Yea it was no good. Not just for me but her man as well. On top of that my girl was in line to come see me because it was Valentine’s Day & i was living in the gallery sleeping in a sleeping bag for the duration of the event. We were separated for 5 days. No communication. So it really hurt her as well as i guess the news of it travelled through the line. She was only about 25 people back when she came in she asked for an explanation and i couldn’t speak so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful. The hardest part of the show.”

Shai also explained his silent interview video with Aimee, saying:

“I like the idea that we meet in person with a go pro photographic record but no interview… we just look into each other’s eyes for an hour, connect on a soul level and film that as the interview and keep the words online. So we will both have go pro cameras strapped to our heads for the full hour and the footage will be presented raw as a split screen and you can use it on the Dazed video site. So I’m present in the magazine only in words obtained digitally and online I’m present only through a mute physical presence… and the reality of my self lies somewhere between and beyond the two. It’s thoroughly metamodern I think.”
