Shia LaBeouf's Acting School Abuse Allegations Revealed

The documentary 'Slauson Rec' reveals allegations of physical violence by actor Shia LaBeouf towards students at his experimental theater school in Los Angeles, which operated from 2018 to 2020. Directed by former student Leo Lewis O’Neil, the film includes footage of LaBeouf engaging in physical altercations, including one incident where he allegedly shoved a student against a wall. The project contains over 800 hours of footage, and LaBeouf, who was involved as a subject, has publicly supported its release, despite the damaging content. LaBeouf has acknowledged the unconventional nature of his teaching methods and expressed pride in the students' accomplishments, though he has not been involved in the film's production. The documentary, which examines power dynamics within the theater collective, is seeking distribution as it sheds light on LaBeouf's controversial mentorship style.
