Fox News Host Jesse Watters Alleges Verbal Confrontation With Shia LaBeouf at Airport

Fox News host Jesse Watters has recounted on multiple occasions an alleged incident in which actor Shia LaBeouf verbally insulted him at a Delta airport lounge. Originally shared in 2019, Watters described LaBeouf calling him "trash" in front of his children, and more recently updated the story by stating LaBeouf told him to "go eff myself." The story was brought up again during an interview with playwright and director David Mamet, who is working with LaBeouf on the film Henry Johnson. Mamet responded with laughter but did not confirm passing along Watters' message to LaBeouf. LaBeouf has not publicly addressed the alleged confrontation and has recently been involved in legal disputes unrelated to this incident. Watters has used the story to highlight his experiences with liberal Hollywood figures and has shared other personal anecdotes about family and politics on his show.
