Shia LaBeouf Gets Slapped

Shia

An inebriated Shia LaBeouf tries to get a friend to slap by offering various taunts. He finally gets it after plenty of pleading and calling his friend a faggot. If only the slap were harder.

Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

  1. Interesting how he calls the other guy "faggot" when he's the one who is looking for attention from another man, along with physical contact...then after he gets his slap he goes in for the hug and kiss. Even apart from this, the guy has major issues. I don't think his story is going to have a happy ending.

  2. Aren't Shia's 15 minutes up yet?

    Posted by: Roscoe | Jun 10, 2008 12:49:59 PM


  3. Yeah, well...I've always said that I did not understand his appeal. I didn't think it was possible for me to be less impressed, but apparently I was wrong about that.

  4. All that fame and money and he's still such a loser. Thats like retarded frat-boy behavior. "Slap me, dawg, you faggot, dawg... dawg, slap me... more Tequila..."

    Maybe he needs to shoplift himself a life.

  5. If you go to any college campus on a Friday night where alchohol is being consumed, you will hear the same taunts. Doesn't make it right, but cut the young buck some slack...

  6. Which is precisely why gay folks so often feel comfortable and welcome in such places.

  7. TIM..."cut the young buck some slack..."????!!! Apparently you think it's okay for him to use homophobic slurs because plenty of other people use them. By that reasoning, it would be fine for homophobes to beat and even kill faggots because plenty of other people have beaten and killed faggots. Here's some advice, TIM...grow a pair and stop letting the homophobes demean us all!

  8. Awe come on... it must be hard to be a lame actor and a lame human being...

  9. Reminds me of a drag queen name, Ida Splappedher.

  10. Here comes GLAAD with a demmand for a half-hearted, disingenuous "apology" for use of the word "faggot" and nothing else...

    Yes, I'm irked when people who (supposedly) aren't gay use that word liberally, just like part of me wants to slap a non-black person for saying "nigger" regardless of the context. But it's one of many, MANY dirty, derrogitory words in common usage (see: bitch, whore, cunt, slut, etc.) that'll likely never go away. People--you and me included--are going to say whatever they want as long as they have the legal right to do so. As long as the asshole isn't putting their hands on you or insulting your mother, fuck what comes out of their cocksucker.

    Oh, and Shia LaBeouf is just another douche. A goodlooking douche with talent, but a douche is a douche is a douche. Maybe when his career tanks he can start doing "straight guy" gay porn with the rest of his breed.

  11. Shia's just a marginally more talented Dustin Diamond. Enough of him already.

    Posted by: Roscoe | Jun 10, 2008 2:41:39 PM


  12. This is the same guy who told GQ Mag that he crapped in his pants till he was 12 years old, so consider the source.

  13. Slapter.

    Posted by: brad | Jun 10, 2008 3:40:06 PM


  14. I still want to have sex with him, so no, his 15 minutes are not up. I'm sorry, was I supposed to lust after 65-year-old Harrison Ford? You guys sound like you're jealous.

    Posted by: Toomuchsausagehere | Jun 10, 2008 3:49:31 PM


  15. Heh. I actually know a drag queen named Ida Slapter.

  16. The only way I'm going to show any sort of love for this VTF robot is if he goes Britney on us.

    Marries K-Fed. Runs into people. Drinks Crappichinos everyday. Marries a pap.

    You know. . .

  17. Wow, seems like Shia is getting a pass from the same people that wanted Isiah Washington's head on a platter. Nice.

    Posted by: sugarrhill | Jun 10, 2008 4:22:13 PM


  18. Sugarhill, elaborate please. What people are you talking about?

    Posted by: Chas | Jun 10, 2008 4:27:59 PM


  19. Not jealous, just contemptuous.

    Posted by: Roscoe | Jun 10, 2008 4:58:27 PM


  20. He's a jerk. Don't know why people think he's all that. He's going to end his days hanging out at Walgreen's.

    Posted by: JAye | Jun 10, 2008 5:31:36 PM


  21. Chas,

    It seems like the response has been pretty meh to Shia's "faggot" incident on this board as opposed to Washington's. I just wish the gays would be consistent in the chastisement of bigoted behavior. Not you though.

    Posted by: sugarrhill | Jun 10, 2008 6:10:57 PM


  22. What a bunch of self-rightous prigs post on here endlessly --- this was drunken silly behavior ... and since when do gay men NOT call each other faggot in the same way.

    All people do for jest ... come on faggot you know it's true! Come on.

    It's not right ... but it is true.
    And what TR Knight did to Washington was PC bullshit... TR Knight is a whiney prick ---

  23. Shia LaBoeuf--isn't that French for Brad Renfro?

    Posted by: Timothy Piland | Jun 10, 2008 8:33:22 PM


  24. God bless Brad Renfo's soul, but that was damned funny Timothy. I'm not wishing that sad fate on LaDouche but I could see it happening.

    Posted by: Chas | Jun 10, 2008 8:51:43 PM


  25. He's a mediocre actor being made by Hollywood as a great actor.He is an alcoholic at his age and a stupid a**hole that runs from paparazzi for no reason at all.I really think he is gay and is afraid to come out.No girlie mixup in his life at his age in Hollywood is very telling.No matter what I would not kick the prick out of my bed but give him a f**k he'll never forget.

  26. Why do celebrities allow cameras to be around to record their bad behavior? Like when Chace Crawford or whatever his name was got wasted. Maybe at 20 they don't know how to hold their alcohol, maybe they just always need the affirmation of a camera. Or maybe they're just total idiots.

    This video is no longer available, so I was blessed from enduring it.

  27. This isn't news. Totally taken out of context. Who cares. I say faggot in private quarters.

    Posted by: ANONYMOUS | Jun 11, 2008 10:02:51 AM


  28. Maybe he wants to get slapped because his movie sucks ass, and not in a good way.

  29. Tying together some of the thoughts from those who, like me, aren't thrilled with Shia's use of the word "faggot" in the way he used it - consider two aspects to the whole thing - (1) has to do not only with the use of the word as an insult, and, in today's youth culture, one of the worse insults you can use against someone, but also, (2) the fact that the entire premise of the exchange - both the verbal and the physical slap contest exchange - is that Shia is hoping that the result of calling his friend a faggot will be to get him so enraged (granted, within the context of a drunken, juvenile game) that the friend will respond with violence (that is, slapping Shia) thereby futhering the idea that if a gay guy flirts, comes on to, looks the wrong way at, or - in the specific case here - is put in the position of being perceived as a faggot - the one on the receiving end of the "insult" should respond with violence. The use of the word as a gay slur (and/or all the connections to that - using the word to mean weak, effeminate, not as good as, etc.) is bad, but the encouragement to respond to such a threat violently is even worse, and situations like this promote that perspective. From there, it's not too far to the unfortunate gay panic defense, which, as we remember Matthew Shepard and other victims of anti-gay violence, should prompt us to not just list this episode under a "(drunk) boys will be boys" tag.

  30. Oh I wish we would lighten up for crissake. He's an actor; he's spent all of his young life looking for attention and being provocative. And he was kinda drunksy. And he apologized. What more do you sourpusses want? This has as NOTHING to do with Matthew Shepard,or for that matter Isiah Washington, who was stone sober and humiliating a truly gay guy on set in an ego tantrum. What a bunch of killjoys we've become. Are we such fragile little flowers? Lets resolve to toughen up our titties a bit.

  31. PEOPLE LIKE PATRICK LEHMAN CRACK ME UP,THEY THINK THE FACT THAT NOW CALLING PEOPLE IN SCHOOL FAGGOTS IS AN EPIDEMIC AND FILLED WITH HATE AND THEY THINK WE SHOULD THINK ITS A CRACK UP AND IM SURE THE WORD NIGGE WOULD BE OK

    Posted by: CHAD | Jun 13, 2008 5:36:04 AM


  32. it's obvious that deep thinking was not a high priority for this little episode... it's surprising that this is getting so much attention
