Shia LaBeouf's Inner Circle Pushes Back On Claims He Caused Split With Mia Goth

Shia LaBeouf is reportedly not to blame for his split with Mia Goth. The pair separated last year after an on-and-off relationship spanning 13 years.

Now, those within the actor's circle have claimed that he did his best to save his relationship with Goth, contrary to claims from those close to his estranged wife that he was at fault.

The reports come after Shia LaBeouf was involved in an altercation at the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.

Shia LaBeouf's relationship with Mia Goth has continued to make headlines following a recent report that they went their separate ways quietly last year.

While initial claims pointed to LaBeouf being at fault for the split, his close circle has now refuted the allegations, per TMZ.

According to a source, the relationship between the duo "just didn't work out," adding that LaBeouf wasn't to blame.

Even with the relationship being over, LaBeouf is said to be committed to raising their daughter, Isabel, whom they welcomed in 2022.

Sources also say LaBeouf has stayed actively involved in their child's life, even while living in New Orleans, and was reportedly fully present and hands-on while Goth was busy with work commitments.

A close source of LaBeouf also claimed that not only was he not at fault for the end of the relationship, but he also did everything he could to save it.

The source said LaBeouf even tried various approaches, including taking vacations and even exploring religion, in the hope that Goth would be persuaded to stay.

However, every step forward felt like "ten steps back" during those attempts, as while Goth cared for LaBeouf, she ultimately didn't want to be married to him.

One other insider close to Goth then insisted that LaBeouf was the problem, citing his drinking issues as a key factor in his relationship breaking up.

They also claimed that Goth didn't believe the actor was ready or able to address his personal challenges and grow as a person.

Despite everything that has happened between LaBeouf and Goth, she is reportedly still hopeful that he will seek rehab following his recent arrest during the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.

The actor was arrested after he was involved in an altercation outside of a local bar.

Footage obtained by TMZ showed that the incident was serious enough to warrant paramedics, who arrived in the aftermath of the brawl and spent some time treating LaBeouf.

The actor was then taken away by ambulance and was later charged with two counts of simple battery, which is generally classified as a misdemeanor.

The incident caused LaBeouf to be criticized by netizens, with many calling on him to take accountability and stop drinking.

Although sources claim LaBeouf still has love for his estranged wife, Goth, the actor seems to also be moving on romantically, as he was getting very cozy with a woman at a bar shortly after his Mardi Gras arrest.

According to a video obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf appeared to be in a happy mood as he flirted while standing hand in hand with the woman on a balcony overlooking the bar.

The woman at some point placed her hand on the actor's chest while smiling up at him. He then leaned down to whisper to her before kissing her on the lip.

LaBeouf and the mystery lady were said to have locked lips several times and were locked in an embrace all through the night.

After his arrest, LaBeouf was released on his own recognizance. However, at his initial court hearing, Judge Simone Levine set a $100,000 bond after being unimpressed by his drug and alcohol test results.

The judge also ordered LaBeouf to enter rehab, submit to frequent impairment testing, and stay away from the individuals he assaulted, as well as the locations of the incidents.

He is expected to return to court on March 19, though he could be required to appear sooner, as a new arrest warrant has been issued for him.

This is in connection with a third victim allegedly assaulted by the actor at the same Mardi Gras incident.
