Shia LaBeouf: I was raped during my art show


Los Angeles - During a recent interview with Dazed Digital online magazine Shia LaBeouf revealed that he was raped during his #IAMSORRY performance art installation.

According to the Nymphomaniac actor a woman allegedly whipped, stripped and raped him in a small room in a Los Angeles art gallery on Valentine’s Day last year.

During his performance LaBeouf sat unresponsive with a paper bag over his head in the gallery and allowed visitors to do to him whatever they wanted.

“One woman came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened.

“She whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me. 

"There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with dishevelled hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well,” the 28-year-old actor revealed on Thursday during a bizarre interview conducted first over e-mail before he and the reporter sat staring at each other in silence for an hour.
