Shia LaBeouf arrested at Broadway show

UPDATE: An NYPD spokesperson tells Us Weekly that Shia LeBeouf "has been charged with disorderly conduct. He was also charged with criminal trespass. While at Studio 54 he was upsetting patrons, being loud and yelling. He'll be jailed. There will be a court appearance for this matter."

"Shia seemed out of sorts," a source tells Us. "He was interacting with strangers during the show and slapping peoples' backsides. He was trying to avoid the police and fell. Then he was cursing at the police while being taken into custody."

Shia LaBeouf was handcuffed and escorted out of a production of Cabaret in New York City on June 26, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

The 28-year-old was reportedly being "disruptive" during the Broadway production which stars Michelle Williams and Alan Cumming. A show source tells Us: "He was disruptive during act one and escorted out of Studio 54 at intermission."

As to what exactly the actor was doing, another source tells Us LeBeouf was "harassing audience members, harassing actors on the stage, and chain smoking inside the theater."

A NYPD PIO officer confirms to Us: "He was removed from Studio 54 and taken to a local precinct. No charges have been filed as of yet."

According to Broadway World, bystanders on the street where LeBeouf exited say the Transformers actor was "in tears when taken away by police."
A rep for LeBeouf could not be reached.

Late Thursday night, Lena Dunham sounded off on the incident on Twitter, writing, "I feel you Shia: In 1993 I was carried out of Les Mis screaming because I couldn't handle the intimations of death." She added in a second tweet: "'You know you're a f--kin' G when you're arrested during Cabaret.'--Gillian Jacobs."

Re: Shia LaBeouf arrested at Broadway show

I have been saying since the bag incident that something was wrong..I believe he does have a mental illness. Even looking into his eyes they look lost or sad..just not right.. Maybe it Could have been brought on by drug abuse. But I feel bad for him if he has a mental illness and that no one has stepped in yet to intervene. It reminds me so much of the Amanda Bynes. Hope he gets the help he needs..He is young.

He is nuts.

When you're kicked out of a Broadway cast for being too crazy, AND the other lead cast member is Alec Baldwin...yeah, you are fcking nuts.

I think he needs help.

Re: Shia LaBeouf arrested at Broadway show

Here is an interesting update:



Troublemaking actor Shia LaBeouf went berserk in the audience at the Broadway musical “Cabaret” Thurs­day night and was hauled off in handcuffs to a station house — where he told cops, “I’ll f–k you up,” called an officer a “f-g,” and was muzzled with a face mask for spitting, sources said.
The “Nymphomaniac” star was slapping people on the behind and in the back of the head while smoking at around 9:30 p.m. in the Studio 54 theater, according to law-enforcement sources.

When cops approached him, he was “incoherent” and “very agitated,” they said.
He tried to quickly walk away from officers but fell flat on his face, the sources said.
Police hauled him out, his hands cuffed behind him, as theatergoers looked on.
At the Midtown-North station house, he allegedly became belligerent, demanding the cuffs be removed. “F–k you. I’ll f–k you up!” the 28-year-old LaBeouf said, according to the sources.

Cops decided to not take the cuffs off the agitated “Transformers” star, and he allegedly started spitting, prompting officers to put a face mask on him. LaBeouf then unloaded on the arresting officer and used a ­homophobic slur. “I have millions and millions of dollars and attorneys,” the ­unhinged actor said. “I’m going to ruin your career,” he added, then allegedly called the cop a “f-g.”

A spit mask like the one cops used to muzzle LaBeouf

One police source said the actor smelled terrible and lied about ­being in the Army.
He was charged with criminal trespass, harassment and disorderly conduct, according to the sources. “Just saw Shia LaBeouf in handcuffs in tears surrounded by 6 police officers outside of CABARET the musical,” tweeted Benj Pasek.
