Shia LaBeouf Says He Drinks Daily While Fulfilling Probation Terms

Court filings reveal his daily alcohol use as he completes mandated treatment and remains under supervision with possible jail for violations.

Overview

  • The probation status filing, reviewed Wednesday, records that LaBeouf told his probation officer he drinks alcohol every day while confirming he has been checking in as required.
  • LaBeouf pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor battery from a February Mardi Gras bar altercation and was sentenced to two years' probation.
  • The court ordered anger-management and substance-abuse programs and the records show he has provided proof he will finish those classes by next month while declining mental-health treatment.
  • A Sept. 23 hearing is scheduled but the filing notes he will not attend because he is shooting a film, and prosecutors say he could face up to six months in jail if he fails to meet probation conditions.
  • The case updates earlier public statements that LaBeouf had been sober for more than 600 days in 2022 and illustrates how misdemeanor sentences can include court-ordered treatment and close supervision.
