Shia LaBeouf Spotted Getting Handsy With A Mystery Woman At A Bar Days After His Arrest

Shia LaBeouf seems to be back on the dating scene as he was spotted packing on the PDA with a mystery woman at a New Orleans bar on Saturday night.

The 39-year-old actor, who moved from L.A. to New Orleans, has seemingly been on a partying spree from one local bar to another, which resulted in his arrest after a Mardi Gras brawl.

Shia LaBeouf's estranged wife, Mia Goth, has reportedly pleaded with him to go to rehab and "manage" his drinking issues.

The "Transformers" actor has sent the rumor mills into overdrive after he was seen getting cozy with a woman at a New Orleans club days after he was arrested.

In photos and videos obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf looked very happy in his flirty encounter with the woman and stood hand in hand with her at a balcony overlooking the bar.

They were all touchy touchy as the woman placed her hand on his chest while smiling up at him, and he leaned down to whisper to her before planting a kiss on her lip.

locked lips several times and hugged tightly throughout the night, with the actor even attempting to carry her at one point while hugging.

According to the news outlet, eyewitnesses report that he was drinking and appeared to be tipsy, but overall, he was in great spirits and had a fun night.

It comes after a rough couple of days for LaBeouf, as he was arrested for an alleged drunken brawl with a bar employee.

Reports claim he was "causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive" at the establishment, leading to his eviction from the property.

The actor then got into a fight with the man and allegedly assaulted him with "closed fists" multiple times before hitting another person in the nose.

LaBeouf's behavior reportedly led to him getting beaten up after he allegedly consistently tried to attack the bar worker despite attempts to restrain him.

In an incident report, one of LaBeouf's alleged victims claimed he hurled gay slurs at him and used the F-word multiple times as cops carted him away from the scene.

"These f-ggots put me in jail. I'm a Catholic," he allegedly said amid his arrest incident.

He was later released on his own recognizance and charged with 2 counts of simple battery.

LaBeouf also had to visit the hospital for treatment of unknown injuries he suffered.

Following the altercation, he took to X and wrote "Free Me," while also uploading a selfie of him wearing sunglasses and beads.

It's the recent negative headlines that left his ex-wife Mia Goth "concerned" for him, although she has gotten over him. The pair have seemingly maintained a cordial relationship despite their estrangement and often talk from time to time when the "Honey Boy" star wants to connect with their daughter, Isabel.

According to TMZ, the "Frankenstein" actress has also pleaded with him to go to rehab and manage his drinking issues, as his recent arrest seemingly blew the lid off his personal struggles, which have been going on for years.

LaBeouf and Goth first met on the set of "Nymphomaniac" in 2012, and dated on and off until 2016, when they got married. They had some relationship problems around 2018 and took some time apart. However,  they later reunited and welcomed their daughter in 2022.

Amid their marital troubles, the actor paid over a million dollars for a home in New Orleans and relocated to the Big Easy in search of a new lease of life.

However, sources told People Magazine that it was Goth who "encouraged" him to move out of their home in L.A. as their relationship had always been "complicated."

"Their relationship has always been complicated. They weren't getting along and had a lot of drama last year," the insider told the news outlet. "She loves him, but she also doesn't need him. She's very independent. She has her own life, her own career, and her priority is their daughter."

"Shia loves their daughter and stays in touch," the source added. It remains unclear what the cause of their alleged split is.
